This season's finest Champions League goals (Video)

As is customary at the end of the season it is now time to look back at the year that was.

And the Champions League once again offered up some brilliant drama to along with some fantastic goals. The standard of this year's competition was incredibly high and for the first time since 1996 no English team made it past the first knockout stage.

No, instead we have an all German final which has the makings of a classic as two very talented teams battle out for the trophy with big ears.

That match takes place this evening so if you are twiddling your thumbs wondering exactly what to do until it is time for kick off then feast your eyes on 15 of the best goals scored in this season's competition.

It is a good collection as I am sure you will agree but the placing leaves something to be desired. For one, how can Lukasz Podolski's outstanding effort for Arsenal be eight whilst David Alaba's hopeful long range strike, where Buffon should have done better, be at sixth? 

Phillipe Mexes's goal is probably the right choice for number one as it is one of those wonder-strikes that you will Mexes would fail to replicate given another hundred attempts at it.
