Paul Scholes' Stunning Volley Against Barcelona

Paul Scholes' goal against Barcelona on April 29, 2008, is remembered as one of the most iconic moments in Manchester United's history. In the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg at Old Trafford, Scholes scored the only goal of the match with a thunderous volley from outside the box. The ball flew into the top corner, leaving Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes with no chance. This goal secured Manchester United's place in the final, where they went on to win the Champions League. Scholes' strike is celebrated by fans and is often cited as one of the best goals of his career. Important to add, is that Lionel Messi, considered the greatest player to ever touch a football, is stood directly behind Paul Scholes watching as he rockets the ball into the top corner.
