#3 Dejan Savicevic (AC Milan 4-0 Barcelona, 18/5/1994)
Trending
The Champions League final of 1994 was expected to be the crowning glory of Johan Cruyff’s ‘Dream Team’, but instead they were decimated by a great Milan outfit. By the interval, the game was already heading in the direction of the Italians thanks to Daniele Massaro, who scored twice, but two minutes after the restart Savicevic sealed the victory.
He blocked a clearance near the right touchline, but there appeared to be nothing on when he gathered possession at an acute angle. With no-one in support, he took the only option that was open to him: to try a lob over Barca keeper Andoni Zubizarreta. It was a shot perfectly executed and arced delightfully over the shot-stopper into the far corner.
Savicevic’s moment of brilliance killed off any hopes of a revival from the Catalans and Marcel Desailly soon grabbed a stunning fourth.
