9. George Weah – Verona v AC Milan – Serie A, 08/09/1996

One for the individualists and a goal still spoken of two decades later. George Weah, the sole African winner of the Ballon D’or, embarked on a stunning solo run to score a memorable goal for Milan.

He runs, and runs, and runs, ghosting past backtracking defenders as if they were holograms before providing the coolest of finishes. Sensational.
