Marcus Rashford's strike against Newcastle United has been voted the best goal in the Champions League group stage for the 2025-2026 season, attributed to the Barcelona forward in the report.
The official tournament account posted on X today a video showcasing the top 10 goals from that stage.
Second and third places
Second place went to Benfica goalkeeper Anatoly Troubin's stoppage-time goal against Real Madrid, a strike that gave the Eagles a 4-2 win at home and sent them into the playoff for the last 16, where they would meet Madrid again.
Third place went to Portuguese Chiquinho, star of Olympiakos, who also scored against the Spanish giants in the same phase.
These moments stand out as defining highlights of this Champions League phase, keeping fans buzzing as the season unfolds.
