UEFA’s Technical Observer panel has released the top ten goals for the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League season.
UEFA released the top ten goals of the Champions League campaign in a post via its website on Tuesday.
Real Madrid ace Karim Benzema’s powerful header away to Chelsea impressed the most to win Goal of the Season.
Benzema’s strike was his first in a memorable hat-trick at Stamford Bridge in the quarter-finals – and one of his 15 in the competition this term as the France international was crowned top scorer.
His teammate, Vinícius Júnior’s solo effort at Shakhtar Donetsk, earned him the runner-up spot, while Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe came third for his superb late goal for Paris at home to Madrid in the round of 16.
However, fans are now expected to vote for their favourite from the observers’ top ten.
