Twenty-eight years ago today, Marco van Basten scored perhaps the greatest goal of all time when he thundered home a volley for the Netherlands as they defeated the USSR in the final of Euro ‘88. Xherdan Shaqiri paid fitting tribute to the Dutch legend by scoring the greatest European Championship goal since then as Switzerland exited the competition 5-4 on penalties.
