Thiago Motta was not a player who was renowned for finding the back of the net when he was at Inter, with the legendary midfielder and current Spezia manager mostly in the team for his passing ability and defensive contributions deeper in the pitch.

However, when the Italian scored he often made it special, and there will be few goals in his career that are as memorable as the one he scored against AC Milan in August of 2009 to open the scoring in an emphatic 4-0 win in a campaign where he and his teammates went on to win an historic European treble.
