Five greatest Champions League final goals

#4 Lars Ricken (Dortmund 3-1 Juventus, 28/5/1997)

Ricken celebrates after scoring against Juventus

Borussia Dortmund went into the final of 1997 as rank outsiders to get the better of a powerful Juventus side that contained the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Didier Deschamps and Alessandro Del Piero.

The Germans’ strength from set pieces allowed Karl-Heinz Riedle to fire them two goals to the good at the break, but a deft Del Piero backheel, in itself a stunning goal, brought Juve back into the game.

Ricken, however, would come off the bench to kill the game off instantly. Indeed, he had been on the field only 16 seconds when he raced onto a through pass from Andreas Moller to send a lob over the stranded Angelo Peruzzi and into the goal.

It remains perhaps the best first touch from a substitute in footballing history.
