Champions League final video highlights
2011
The top goal of this year’s Champions League campaign was – at first – hard to pick.
But the unanimous decision from the 3 News sports team was that sometimes not all goals are created equal.
We saw bicycle kicks and volleys, bending balls and headers that netted, but the one that landed the top-dog status was none of those – it was a dribble, beating a few and tucking the ball in the ol’ onion sack.
Who scored? Lionel Messi against arch rivals Real Madrid.
Messi’s goal was judged the best – on the eve of the final at Wembley – because it signifies just what the player could do to the Manchester United defence and hopes of the title.
Barcelona could be playing like a dog’s breakfast, but Messi magic will get them out of trouble nearly every time.
Watch the video for the goal.
