It’s a beautiful goal, in every way, but has been forgotten in the madness that followed. It should have been the winner, Milan should have shut up shop after this and passed Liverpool to death. But, as we all know, it didn’t work that way and an ageing Milan team let Dietmar Hamann roll them over.
Inspired by this, I had another look at the goal. I’d forgotten the astonishing pass that leads to it, just, just out of the defender’s reach, but in the only place where it gives the attacker advantage over the keeper. Crespo knows it’s a killer ball and delivers a beautiful, Romario-esque dig over Dudek. He could have took it round but then it makes it look rushed and scruffy; luckily the scorer knew how to keep the beauty in the goal.
