Really, really interesting to get the players take on it. Including even Joey Barton's.
Here's the thing, though. Like everyone else, I've watched That Goal about a thousand times. But I realised, watching the documentary, that subconsciously I've always refused to scrutinise it in detail and break it down, frame by frame, as it were. Because when you steel yourself to do that – as I did after listening to Mario and Sergio – you realise just how very wide Sergio has to push it, what a very tight angle he is then shooting from, and how bloody close his shot is to the near post!! Shivers, just shivers, when you look at all that and think what you would have been feeling had all that not come together.
I know what the result is, but even now, five years later, it's as if it can somehow be rescinded by a sadistic god.
