Goal of the Year (So Far)? January 25, 2012, 5:32 pm As we write this, the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Camp Nou, the second leg of their Copa del Rey series, is still in progress. But the goal at the end of the second half by Barcelona's right-side, Brazilian defender Dani Alves is simply too good, too stunning to have to wait to be posted at the end of the match. The goal by Alves gave Barcelona a 2-0 lead in the match before Cristiano Ronaldo's goal cut the deficit to 2-1 and to 4-2 on aggregate ... and then Karim Benzema tied the match and cut Barça's aggregate lead to 4-3. Goal of the year? Have you seen a better one? Where and by whom? P.S.: And you have to love the little post-goal dance by Alves and Eric Abidal! No?
