Mandzukic vs. Zidane: Whose Champions League final goal was better?

Zinedine Zidane likely had a flashback as Mario Mandzukic brought Juventus level with Real Madrid in the Champions League final.

Mandzukic's equaliser was as good of a goal as you'll see in any final, as the Croatian forward chested down the ball before sending it over Keylor Navas with a phenomenal overhead kick.

The goal was eerily reminiscent of Zidane's left-footed volley from the final of the 2001-02 Champions League, which lifted Real Madrid to victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
