Before the Italian league begins, there is a face-off between the winners of the league and the cup – a curtain-raiser, a statement of intent.
In 2006, Luis Figo, a recent signing for Inter Milan, made his point loud and clear.
With the game locked at 3-3 and heading toward penalties, Figo stepped up and whipped a 30-yard free kick into the left corner.
The keeper was beaten. The cup was Inter’s. Figo’s season was off and running.
Was Figo's strike the greatest T90 goal ever?
