Athletes sometimes have the tendency to produce the outrageous when they are pushed to a corner or have their backs against the wall. Whether individual or team sport, such responses are what fans tend to remember long after a moment has passed.
With his team trailing 2-4 in a thrilling Bundesliga match on Sunday, Borussia Moenchengladbach’s Valentino Lazaro scored a goal that will be remembered for a long time. Even if it did not help his side avoid defeat as Bayer Leverkusen climbed to fourth in the table with a 4-3 win.
Borussia Moenchengladbach, who suffered their first loss since the opening day of the season, made sure that they were not going down without a fight as Lazaro produced a fully-intended scorpion kick that left the opposition goalkeeper stranded.
It’s a bit of a shame that the goal did not mean much to the result and the player couldn’t even celebrate it but it will be talked about for years.
