S6M11: All the Golazos

As a general rule, this chat is pretty Premier League-centric. It's a Premier League game, and that's where we've all focused on.

This week, however, I'm going to veer into something a little continental. Namely, how damn good this week's Champions' League was for goals. Like, there are always lots of goals, but there were some proper wowsers-in-my-trousers moments.

I'm still trying to work out which my favourite was (no I'm not, it's obvious, but I'm trying to pretend I'm not biased).

Antoine Griezmann - He's quite good at football. His kung-fu first goal was delicious but I was also a major fan of the late winner - the way he quickly adjusts his body position to stab the ball into the top corner. Yeesh.

Thomas Meunier - Still think he sliced it but you have to like the balls on a full back having a dig in the last minute from a floated cross, outside the box. The slo-mo of the Basel keeper wrapped around the post was also both hilarious and upsetting at the same time

Mesut Ozil - Knicking. A. Living. He shares the ability of the true greats to play with the fabric of time. Really interesting from him playing on the last shoulder when Giroud drops deep - no idea why Ludogorets persisted with such a high line but the control, the vision and the way he could have scored that goal about 5 different ways. Just #JaMesutJa

Gareth Bale - my first experience of the BT Sport goal show started with a bang. They hadn't finished introducing the kick offs when it was a goal in Warsaw (and what a bizarre game that was). Bale absolutely creaming a volley in - something his manager did in iconic fashion in the same competition in the 2002 final. Absolute filth.

Vadis Odjidja - The catalyst for the Legia comeback. Keylor Navas left grasping at thin air with a perfectly placed curler from distance. It's possible that the Madrid defence were a little complacent in shutting the shot down but you have to respect the execution.

I have fought the temptation to mention Kevin Kampl. Oops

So yeah, some fantastic strikes this week. Honorably mentions also to Messi & Gundogan. Does anyone else have any additions I may have missed?

Premier League service will be resumed next week.

Chelsea will meet Everton in today's game played at Stamford Bridge Stadium. In their last meeting, Everton won the match with 2:0. I wonder if Antonio Conte's team prepared us with a surprise for today. Based on the past results of the two teams, I would expect for Chelsea to perform well during this meeting and win this game. It should be interesting to see if Diego Costa will score during this match as he has a good average in terms of goals scored / match. If you have some knowledge regarding football, you can share your opinion using the Bet365 reviews.

What a surprising match and what amazing article. It was expected for Chelsea to win the match played in Premier League last Saturday, against Everton. Eden Hazard's goal came as a nice surprise. It is good to see Chelsea scoring a victory in this match and adding 3 more points for their league rankings. I am sure Koeman will have to review the team's offensive and defensive strategy for the next match against Swansea City. I am sure that i will make a bet next time. Where can i find a list of regulated online bookmakers in United Kingdom?
