Saúl Ñíguez may not be the player you would expect to produce a barnstorming run from midfield, but that is precisely what the Atlético Madrid star did back in 2016.
Faced with Bayern Munich in the 2016 Champions League semi-final, the only goal of the leg was scored in the 11th minute, and it came from the Spanish midfielder.

Saúl picked the ball up just inside Bayern's half, before beating four players with some neat footwork and picking out the far corner.
Unfortunately, he couldn't repeat the trick in the final as his side were beaten by city rivals Real Madrid on penalties.
