If there’s one thing the UEFA Champions League group stages can be counted on to deliver on a regular basis, it’s super weird goals. We already had Aaron Ramsey steal a goal away from Juventus teammate Cristiano Ronaldo for no apparent reason, and that wasn’t even the weirdest moment of the day.
That honor goes to Tottenham Hotspur, and, honestly, it’s going to be tough to top this absolute clinic in chaos.
During the first half of Spurs’ match against Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday, Harry Kane had goalkeeper Milan Borjan beat — only to see his attempt at goal hit off the side post. The shot set off a hectic scramble that included a blocked shot, poor clearance attempt, collision, volley off the crossbar …. AND, finally, a goal.
After all that soccer dumbness, Giovani Lo Celso was able to find the back of the net to give Spurs the opening goal.
The entire sequence was made for “Yakety Sax.”
It was a FIFA glitch in real life.
