Among Chelsea’s list of trophies won in their history, one that will almost never be forgotten is the remarkable success in the European competitions in 1997 and 1998, most particularly the win over Real Madrid in the latter.
It was the 1998 UEFA Super Cup and it was against the mighty European club – Real. Chelsea boasted of some decent players and a couple of world class players who could step up and show their worth and indeed one did.
Gus Poyet hit a pile driver from behind the penalty area after the dazzling work by Gianfranco Zola on the left wing. Enjoy the goal in the video below:
