If you didn't tune in to ESPN 2 last Tuesday and Weds. at 11:30 a.m., you missed the Champions League Quarterfinals which also means you probably didn't see 2 of the best goals the game will produce this season.
The first was on Tuesday in Chelsea's match against Liverpool. This game was an instant classic and ended in a 4-4 draw meaning Chelsea advanced thanks to their 2-1 win at Anfield a fortnight ago. In the 57th minute, Chelsea was awarded a free kick about 15 yards outside the penalty box. With all the stars lined up over the ball (Ballack, Lampard, etc.) it was the Brazilian Alex that decided to take a rip and his free kick goal would make Beckham blush.
Then on Weds, Manchester United visited FC Porto (where no English team had ever won) and pulled out a 1-Nil victory thanks to an amazing rocket off the foot of the reigning Fifa World Player of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo. He took his shot over 39 yards out and somehow managed to tuck it in the back of the net. A phenomenal blast from one of the games best.
Alex- Chelsea
Cristiano Ronaldo- Manchester United
