Bale volley beats Ozil solo stunner to UEFA Champions League Goal of the Week, presented by Nissan!

Gareth Bale’s fabulous volley for Real Madrid in their gripping 3-3 draw with Legia Warsaw has been named matchday four's UEFA Champions League Goal of the Week, presented by Nissan.

The Welshman spectacular strike from outside the area was the fastest goal in UEFA Champions League history, hammering home after Cristiano Ronaldo headed on a Fabio Coentrao cross in just 57 seconds during the six-goal thriller.

Bale trumped some fine competition for the gong on a matchday of outstanding goals, which included Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil’s astonishing 88th-minute winner in his side’s victory over Ludogorets.

Latching on to a through ball, the Germany midfielder flicked it over the goalkeeper and sent two defenders sprawling, before slotting home.
