5 fastest goals in the UEFA Champions League

#2 Jonas (Valencia, 10.96 Seconds)

Valencia CF v Bayer 04 Leverkusen - UEFA Champions League

In the 2011/12 season of the UEFA Champions League, Valencia and Bayern Leverkusen were drawn in Group E, along with Premier League side Chelsea and Belgian side Genk. Valencia lost the away game against Bayern Leverkusen 2-1, so when the Spanish side welcomed the Bundesliga team to the Mestalla Stadium on 1st November 2011, Valencia had revenge on their minds. And as the Swedish referee Jonas Eriksson blew the whistle to start the game, the La Liga side wasted little time, literally.

Leverkusen started the game by playing the ball back from their midfield to the defence ultimately to goalkeeper Leno, who played a horrible pass straight to Jonas, lurking just outside the penalty area. The Valencia striker took a touch of the ball and finished well from outside the area.

Watch the goal here:

Leverkusen got a goal back through Kießling, but the Spanish side took the lead again and extended it in the second half, ultimately winning the game 3-1. Jonas's goal stood at 10.96 seconds and it is the second fastest goal scored in the UEFA Champions League.
