It was chaos in front of the Real Madrid goal.
In the sea of bobbing heads, you couldn't even see where the ball was.
Just then, a figure suddenly squeezed out from a gap in the crowd, twisted his body, and chipped the ball.
The kick was so sudden, and judging by the ball's trajectory, you would have suspected it was a pass to a Monaco teammate at the far post.
But the angle of the shot was just too wicked. It sailed over everyone's heads, skimmed the post, and dropped perfectly into the top corner.
Casillas stood frozen on his goal line, dazed. He saw the ball go up, but it was too late to react. Besides, the moment the ball took flight, he really thought it was a pass, never imagining it was headed for the top corner.
Even the player who took the shot, Monaco's number 10 in the red and white jersey, stood stunned for a full five seconds before realizing he had scored. He then pushed through the crowd and took off in a wild celebration.
