The 1992 European Cup Final between Sampdoria and Barcelona was decided by only a single late goal in the extra time by the Barcelona defender Ronald Koeman and what a goal it was!

A free kick conceded just outside the box in the 111th minute gave the Dutchman a chance to snatch glory. He didn’t disappoint at all as the 70,000 strong crowd leaped to their feet watching the thunderous strike.

The dead ball was slipped rolling by Hristo Stoichkov to Koeman’s feet as he struck it at a speed of 188 kmph. The tracer bullet took less than a split second before rumbling the back of the net from the bottom left corner of the post.

Despite going toe to toe, Koeman’s powerful strike left everyone unmoved as Barcelona clinched their first ever European Cup silverware.
