Porto star Mehdi Taremi wins Champions League goal of the season for 2020-21 with stunning injury-time overhead kick against Chelsea... beating Lionel Messi's PSG screamer and Olivier Giroud's acrobatics

Porto's Iranian star Mehdi Taremi has won the official Champions League goal of the season award for the 2020-21 campaign.

The 28-year-old displayed stunning technique by plucking the ball from the sky in the final moments of the quarter-final second leg against eventual champions Chelsea, and hammering it in to the top corner with an acrobatic finish.

Taremi's winning effort was confirmed by UEFA on Friday, with the footballing body uploading footage of the strike on their official website and social media channels.
