UEFA.com's new 'Magic moments' series begins with Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitić looking back at the goal he scored in last season's UEFA Champions League final. Rakitić struck four minutes into the Berlin decider against Juventus, setting his side on their way to a fifth European Cup triumph.
"All goals have their own story," said the Croatian international. "I remember several goals in important derbies, like the one for Schalke against Dortmund, for Sevilla against Betis, and, of course, this goal in the final has a different story. Knowing that at the beginning of the match you have the possibility to put your team in the lead and score that goal is very important, and even more so in a final."
