Slavia Prague already had a mountain to climb in their Europa League Round of 16 tie against AC Milan well before Rafael Leao produced an outrageous effort worthy of the Puskas Award.
Down 4-2 from the first leg, Slavia had a man sent off and had conceded twice as half-time loomed.
There appeared to be little danger when Leao picked up the ball outside the area, however, he moved inside and unleashed a rocket which found the top corner.
When the keeper doesn’t even make an attempt to save it, you know how good a strike it must be.
THAT IS AN OUTRAGEOUS GOAL RAFAEL LEAO! ?
