When you think of all-time great goals, Philippe Mexès may not immediately come to mind but he may well have a claim.
The Milan defender found the net with a beautiful overhead kick in the 2012/13 Champions League to help his side beat Anderlecht.
Chesting down a lofted free kick, he acrobatically launched the ball past the Anderlecht goalkeeper from the edge of the penalty area to put his side 2-0 up on the night, in a game they eventually went on to win 3-1.
Has a defender ever scored a better goal in the Champions League?
