higuain's fault? that is blasphemy, i say. ronaldo sneaked behind gonzalo hoping for an easy steal. higuain did all the hard work, and tripped by the goal machine ronaldo, who in this case, happened to just take everybody out including his own team mate.
but those 3 goals were superb. benzema's strike was like a stunner, i didnt know it went in until he started celebrating. but comparing it van basten's goal was unfair, the dutch master struck his with all the magic he knows. mourinho claims it was out this world, agreed, but the best was still zidane's volley in the champion's league final.
ronaldo's strike was amazing too. its amazing how he strikes the ball. but i would say it was a bit fortuitous too.
higuain's chip was brilliant. reminiscent of the old days when raul played. of course, raul's chips were always over the goalie instead of beside the goalie.
actually i do consider benzema goal was far greater than zidane volley...the reason is becoz:
1) When zidane volley tat time, I remember he has all the time(the defender was far from him) and the ball was like dropping slow to him (if I remember correctly, the ball was defected when roberto carlos crossing the ball which take some of the sting of the cross) and also the angle favour him more(more center position)
2)when benzema volley, there was a defender right there with him and well u all know about ronaldo crossing speed(the ball was moving fast) and also the angle is more tight (more right hand side of the goal)....
But still, ppl will still remember the zidane goal becoz it was the winning goal for real madrid in that CL final....
