Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has revealed that he would like to replicate Zinedine Zidane's famous volley against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League final.
The score was tied 1-1 in Glasgow, but the Frenchman's strike in the 45th minute ended up being the winning goal for Los Blancos as they won their ninth European Cup.
"That's an easy one for me," Hazard told UEFA.com when asked if he could score any Champions League goal, what would it be.
"Zinedine Zidane, Champions League final against Leverkusen. Left volley, top corner, bye bye."
It is going to be an odd feeling to have the Champions League taking place in August, but Hazard is simply excited that top-level football is back.
"Yeah, I can't believe it," he said.
"I think the world, the people, need to watch football.
"It gives you happiness; that's why we all love football.
"I think it's now [been a few] months without the Champions League, these level of games. People just want to watch this."
At Chelsea, Hazard was a player who could easily get into double figures in terms of goals and assists, with injuries hindering his progress at Real Madrid so far, but what does he prefer: to score a goal or to provide an assist?
"The feeling is the same when you see the ball in the net," Hazard responded.
"In my mind, I'm not just thinking about scoring goals, scoring goals, scoring goals.
"Some players now just think about scoring goals.
"And me? I'm more the kind of player who can create something.
"That's why I like to say that I'm more of an assisting guy than a scoring machine.
"I prefer to provide assists, but I also like the feeling when you score a beautiful goal, a last-minute goal, and you win the game at the end."
In terms of the best goals Hazard has seen scored in the Champions League, two come to mind.
"Two years ago, Cristiano [Ronaldo] against Juventus [in the quarter-finals in 2018]," he noted.
"In front of my TV, I was like, 'Wow! What a goal!'
"Gareth Bale, also, against Liverpool in the [2018] final. Wow!
"All of them are really good."
The favourite goal that Hazard has scored in the Champions League was his first in the competition all the way back in 2013 with Chelsea.
That's easy because I didn't score a lot, but I think my first goal [against Schalke in a 3-0 win]," he replied.
"The first one is always special, you know.
"Away in a big game, we played a fantastic game.
"I could and should have passed to Fernando Torres, but I did it myself, so I was lucky that the ball went in.
"That's why it's my favourite one.
"I think he [Torres] was waiting for his hat-trick so it was my bad - sorry, Fernando."
