Wednesday in the Champions League was an exceptional day - football fans witnessed sensations, great goals, and impressive turnarounds.
This day will undoubtedly go down in history of Bafetimbi Gomis - the "Lyon" forward managed to score three goals ('hat-trick') against Zagreb's "Dinamo" in just 7 minutes.
This is a new league record, surpassing the result of Mike Newell representing "Blackburn". He dismantled the "Rosenborg" goalkeeper three times in 9 minutes back in 1995.
Overall, it is worth noting that the Lyon team was in an outsider position before the final round, but miraculously survived. The French not only had to beat Zagreb's "Dinamo" and hope for Amsterdam's "Ajax" failure against Madrid's "Real", but also wait for impressive results. By goal difference, the Dutch led the French by 7 goals, however "Lyon" won 7-1, while "Ajax" lost to "Real" 0-3.
Also worth mentioning is "Man Utd" - the English champion became the first club to drop out of the Champions League after the group stage, despite playing in the tournament final in the previous season.
Real Madrid fans can rejoice - their team has won 15 matches in a row in all competitions, equaling the record of Miguel Munoz's players in the 1960-1961 season, according to "Infostrada".
