When Bayern Munich welcomed Real Madrid to the Allianz Arena on 7th March 2007 for the second leg of the round of 16, the Bundesliga Giants were trailing 3-2, from their defeat at the Bernabeu. Bayern knew that they had to score goals and they had to score goals fast, but perhaps even Real Madrid were not prepared for what happened on the field that night.

It all started just after Slovakian Referee Ľuboš Micheľ started the game. Fernando Gago of Real Madrid received the ball and passed it to left back Roberto Carlo, who failed to control the pass. Bayern Munich's Hasan Salihamidzic stole the ball and immediately passed the ball to Roy Makaay, who had made the run to the penalty box. The Dutch Footballer scored the first time and gave the German giants a much-needed lift.

Watch the fastest goal in UEFA Champions League here:

Bayern Munich increased the lead in the second half and even though Real Madrid got a goal back, Bayern won the game and the tie. Roy Makaay's goal took just 10.12 seconds and it is the fastest goal in the history of the UEFA Champions League, a record that still stands 11 years on.
