Well, I don't know if this is the best goal I've scored, but it's definitely the most satisfying. It was towards the end of my first season with Milan, and we were fighting for the scudetto. Being four points behind leaders Lazio with two games to go, we desperately needed a win in our home game against Parma. It started well, with Milan having most of the possession and not letting Parma create any chances. The first half ended 0-0, which was mostly due to fantastic goalkeeping by Frey. In the second half we dominated the game perhaps even more, but failed to score the goal we needed. Towards the end of the game, Parma were starting to get back into it, even creating a couple of really dangerous chances. Then, in overtime, Rui Costa makes a run through Parma's defence, and is fouled from behind inside the box, giving us a penalty kick. Andrea Pirlo steps up to put it in the net and give us the three points we need, bud Frey is onto it and knocks the ball over the goal. We get a corner kick, which flies past everyone inside the box. Inzaghi runs after the ball and reaches it almost at the corner of the box. He crosses it in, and in the last chance of the game, Rui Costa hits the ball with a fantastic diving header that Frey gets his right hand on, but is unable to prevent from going in. The crowd goes berserk and the Milan players celebrate like they had just won the World Cup. Parma take the kick off, but the referee blows his whistle for full time a couple of seconds later.
We did not end up winning the league (came 3rd after a disappointing and totally undeserved 1-1 draw against Reggina in the last game), but that game against Parma was ******* awesome. And the coolest thing about it is that I can definitely see something like that happening in real life (though it won't be Rui Costa who scores, haha).
