Matheus Cunha is the second coming of the Lord our saviour

RB Leipzig have scored the best goal ever and there is no need for the continuation of football.

Or, more specifically, Matheus Cunha has scored the best goal ever and all future football has been rendered useless.

We will never witness better. In fact, all sport. There is no need for sport. Thank you and also fuck you Matheus Cunha.

RB Leipzig’s match against Bayer Leverkusen was a five goal thriller, 3-2 to Leipzig in the 83rd minute. Cunha’s sheer audacity made it 4-2 and that’s how it finished.

In scrappy play, Leipzig’s forward collected the ball and decided to straighten things out. To introduce flair, pure fuckery and majesty to proceedings.

Shrugging off a defender, Cunha pulled a Marseille turn Henry would dribble over before chipping Leverkusen’s keeper Hradecky.

It doesn’t sound spectacular reading that sentence, so just watch it instead.

Recognise greatness. And stop all football.

Havertz scored a brace for Bayer in the first half, one of which was also a worldie. It was 2-1 at half-time but a goal-filled second half left things at 4-2, with goals from Marcel Sabitzer, Timo Werner and a penalty converted by Emil Forsberg.
