Watch as Italy international Nicolò Barella confirms his remarkable record against Benfica with a sensational curler into the top corner, his second goal of the Champions League quarter-final.

The midfielder already got a rare header in Lisbon during the first leg, before Romelu Lukaku converted a penalty for the 2-0 victory.

Just 14 minutes into the return match at San Siro and Barella had found the back of the net again, this time with a goal that was more his usual style.

He surged forward, shrugged off a tackle, cut inside and placed a simply perfect left-foot curler into the top corner.

Barella becomes the first Italian to score both home and away in a Champions League quarter-final since Christian Vieri for Inter against Valencia in 2002-03.
