2. Hans Gunter (BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH vs Bayern Munich)
This one has to be the most heartbreaking on the list.
Gunter picked the ball up inside his own penalty box, somewhere near his own goal line before embarking on the kind of long bursting run that helps people discover themselves. It had everything as Gunter traversed the length of the pitch – a lucky deflection to start it off, a nutmeg as he accelerates towards the half-line, a neat one-two as he approaches the box... and a wonderfully crisp finish. It also smacked off both posts before trickling agonisingly away from goal.
His expression at the end of it all – the very epitome of ‘If Only’
