UEFA’s technical observers voted for the 10 best goals of the recently concluded Champions League 2018/19 competition and two familiar names – Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi – emerged on top.
The technical observers comprised of well known names in the footballing fraternity including former Manchester United manager David Moyes, current England boss Gareth Southgate, Belgium boss Roberto Martinez and Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez.
They reviewed the goals scored in the UEFA Champions League this season, picked out the 10 best among them and ranked them in order.
Unsurprisingly, it was Lionel Messi’s wonder freekick against Liverpool and Cristiano Ronaldo’s supreme volley against Manchester United that were voted as the top two goals, with the Portuguese taking pole position.
