Micky van de Ven made UEFA Champions League history with his outrageous goal against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday night.
A swashbuckling run from his own box to our visitors' area, the defender carried the ball **67.7m** before firing into the back of the net which broke the record for the longest ball carry ending in a goal in the history of the competition.
Beating the previous best efforts of Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior who ran 64.4m with the ball before scoring in the Spanish giants 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund in October, 2024, Micky now takes the crown for the record in the Champions League.
Interestingly, despite breaking the Champions League record for the longest goal-ending carry, Micky has not overtaken Sonny's near-identical effort against Burnley in 2019. Our legendary forward carried the ball 72.3m on that date before stroking the ball home past Nick Pope.
