In 1993, PSG needed to overturn a 3-1 deficit to Real Madrid in the UEFA Cup quarter finals second leg. After George Weah put them 1-0 up in the 33rd minute, cue a frenetic final 12 minutes when FOUR goals went in, including a 94th-minute winner. Vintage football.

Happy birthday to Nemanja Vidić, who liked nothing more than having a proper scrap with Didier Drogba. “It was a war. Vidić was strong, aggressive, always on the edge, and I loved that challenge. Against defenders like him, you earn every single goal.”

💬 It gets worse... Not only are we farsically seeing a contest being named B.O.A.T. (somebody has been paid to come up with that) but in order to vote, you have to pay €1. The soul of football is well and truly dead.

Ivan de la Peña, Rivaldo and Patrick Kluivert combining for a sumptuous goal against Zaragoza in 2001. The game ended 4-4, too 🤯
