We could have witnessed one of the best goals of the season courtesy of Rafael Leao, but he was unable to dribble past...himself!
The Portuguese footballer became one of Milan's top goalscoring threats in the first half of the game against Newcastle, and he was inches away from scoring one of the finest goals of this competition. Unfortunately for him, his effort ended abruptly and even became the cause of mockery due to his failed attempt on goal.
Leao dribbled past a couple of defenders inside the Magpies' box, and once he found himself all alone to take a shot, he lost his footing and tried a backheel finish. The outcome of that attempt was simply...baffling, to say the least.
Have a look at Leao's failed attempt that caused trolling for the footballer (Image might be geo-restricted).
¡¡La falla de Leão, madre míaaaaa!!
