Nakon nestrpljivog čekanja, ove nedelje je ponovo tu. Liga šampiona. Kladioničari zadovoljno trljaju ruke, planira se strategija za praćenje što više prenosa, dok se u baštama kafića čuje  otvaranje flaša, uz poneki povik posle promašene šanse za gol.

Sada, kada ste stvorili tu gotovo idealnu sliku, a u glavi vam odzvanja melodija himne, krećemo sa kratkim pregledom prve nedelje najvažnijeg klupskog fudbalskog takmičenja.

Today’s surprising, yet very impressive goal comes from Greece. A routine match between Olympiacos and Levadiacos offered a beautiful score for the Red and whites. A quick, 89th minute score, that left even the scorer, Luka Milivojević in disbelief. The former Red Star player managed to get to the ball, which then reached a very high speed, and simply entered Levadiacos’ net. At an angle too high for the keeper to do anything. Except watch his team lose the 3 points. A good start for Oly, and definitely a score to remember for Milivojević.

Lep, ali veoma iznenađujuć gol stiže nam iz Grčke. Naizgled obična utakmica između Olimpijakosa i Levadijakosa, dokaz je sportske sreće i praktične primene parole “snađi se”. Luka Milivojević, uspeo je da u gužvi sa protivničke strane terena, dođe do lopte i lagano je uputi ka golu. Ono što niko nije očekivao je velika brzina kojom je lopta poletela, te ugao pod kojim je putovala. Protivničkom golmanu nije preostalo ništa drugo, sem da gleda kako njegov tim gubi tri boda. Zanimljiva pobeda ekipe iz Pireja, i svakako gol za pamćenje za Luku Milivojevića.
