DID YOU KNOW THE REAL ZARAGOZA PLAYER THAT DENIED ARSENAL FC DEFENDING THEIR UEFA CUP WINNERS CUP TITLE IN 1995?

In the final minute of extra time (timed at 119:16), Real Zaragoza of Spain played Arsenal FC on May 10, 1995 in the final of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup with the match heading to penalties, a spectacular 40-yard shot from Real Zaragoza's Mohammed Ali Amar aka Nayim cleared Arsenal FC goalkeeper David Seaman, winning the cup for Real Zaragoza and denying the Gunners the defence of their title. Despite Nayim being at least 15 yards inside the Arsenal FC half and not being able to see it on camera, the goal is often incorrectly referred to as a goal from the half-way line.
