Watch: Paul Scholes admits legendary Barcelona strike was a fluke

As far as iconic goals go, Paul Scholes outside-of-the-boot strike against Barcelona in 2008 is one of the most memorable ones from a Manchester United perspective.

Scholes’ audacious strike was the only goal over two legs against Barcelona and it made sure the Reds qualified for the Champions League final in Moscow.

United went on to win the tournament as they beat Chelsea on penalties but they might not have reached the final if Scholes’ shot went as intended.

Speaking to Gary Neville on The Overlap, Scholes has now admitted that his storied strike was actually a fluke.
