Twenty years on and his goal is as good as ever.
Robert Lewandowski’s all-time Euro XI is a fine side. And who are we to argue with one of the best strikers in Europe right now.
But there amongst some of the greatest players of all-time in Gerd Muller, Zinedine Zidane and Paolo Maldini there is the somewhat jarring selection of former Czech Republic midfielder, and Manchester United flop, Karel Poborsky taking his place on the right flank.
Poborsky lit up Euro ’96 (and secured a big-money move to Manchester United) off the back of his infamous goal against Portugal.
However, he never really lived up to the promise of that beautiful lob during his two years at Old Trafford and left fpor Benfica in 1998.
His reputation must be rehabilitated enough though for the Bayern Munich man to include him in his ultimate Euro XI, as featured on the Euro 2016 Facebook page, with the attack spearheaded by Muller and Thierry Henry.
The back four isn’t bad either, with Carlos Puyol, Paolo Maldini, Philipp Lahm and Liliam Thuram playing in front of netminder Iker Casillas.
