Champions League: Di Maria, Crouch and other landmark goals


Paris St-Germain midfielder Angel Di Maria scored the 7,000th goal in Champions League history during his side's 5-0 victory over Malmo on Wednesday.

The first

Who: Daniel Amokachi (Club Brugge)
When: Club Brugge 1-0 CSKA Moscow, Jan Breydel Stadium, 25/11/92

The first edition of the Champions League, eventually won by Marseille, featured only eight teams and Nigerian striker Amokachi won the race to score the competition's first goal with his 17th-minute strike against CSKA Moscow.
Perhaps knowing his place in history was secure, Amokachi did not score again in 10 further Champions League appearances for Club Brugge and Besiktas.
Yet he had an eventful spell at Everton in between, scoring two goals in the 1995 FA Cup semi-final against Spurs after coming on as a substitute before manager Joe Royle gave the go-ahead. The Toffees went on to beat Manchester United in the final.
