Atletico Madrid is a team that is defined by their collective prowess and the tactical nuance of coach Diego Simeone, but this goal is a moment of individual brilliance that humbled the mighty Bayern Munich.
A goal that no one saw coming and a run that dribbling legends like Mane Garrincha would be proud of, Saul picked up the ball inside the Bayern half with the entirety of the Bayern defence staring at him. Choosing to do the impossible rather than pass the ball, the Spaniard cut through the likes of Tiago Alacantra, Xabi Alonso and David Alaba to dance pass the Bavarian defence and put the ball past Manuel Neuer who could just look on in despair.
A goal against the mightiest of opponents that came in a competition for the elite, and hence this deserves its place here.
