Top 10 goals from the third round of the UEFA Champions League

10. Fernando Torres (Chelsea vs Schalke)

A fine effort from Eden Hazard and Oscar is rounded off by an equally fine finish by Torres to make life comfortable for the London club.

9. Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid vs Juventus)

Ronaldo proves yet again why he is among the best in the world, smoothly beating the offside trap and finishing from an almost impossible angle.

8. Diego Costa (Atletico Madrid vs Austria Wien)

Diego Costa adorns his Champions League full debut with a brace, the first of which is this beauty.

7. Marcelo Diaz (FC Basel vs Steaua Bucharest)

Marcelo Diaz shows us why FC Basel’s results are no flash in the pan with a sublime piece of skill to capitalise on Steaua’s poor defending.

6. Lasse Schone (Ajax vs Celtic)

Lasse Schone earns a consolatory goal for his side with a well taken effort which should help boost team morale domestically.

5. Inigo Martinez (Manchester United vs Real Sociedad) (O. G.)

Inigo Martinez puts the unfortunate finishing touch on an own goal after a superb solo-effort from Wayne Rooney flies into his path off a rebound from the far post.

4. Cristian Zapata (Napoli vs Marseille)

Excellent teamwork builds up to this goal from Zapata, showing exactly why the ‘new’ Napoli are a force to be reckoned with this season.

3. Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich vs Viktoria Plzen)

Arguably Europe’s best player at the moment, Franck Ribery shows just how easy it is for him to get past defenders when he’s in the groove to grab his second goal of the night.

2. Zoran Tosic (CSKA Moscow vs Manchester City)

Zoran Tosic (remember him?) puts his foot to a sublime lob to put his team in front against the sky blues. He makes it look easy to execute a first touch lob with such precision to finish off the ball’s 3-touch route from CSKA’s goalkeeper to City’s net.

1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic (PSG vs Anderlecht)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic proves yet again how wrong any club would be to let go of him by grabbing four goals in a game for the umpteenth time, the third of which he call out as his favorite of the night. It’s easy to see why.
