Champions League: Mehdi Taremi scores goal of the season contender during Chelsea vs Porto (Video)

Porto forward Mehdi Taremi scored arguably the best goal in the Champions League during their quarter-final tie against Champions League.

Chelsea won the first leg 2-0 and were in total control in the match before substitute Taremi scored a late golazo but it was too late to complete the comeback.

The blues qualify for the semi-final of the Champions League 2-1 on aggregate.

But he is not the first Iranian to score a bicycle kick goal against Chelsea. Alireza Jahanbakhsh scored this beautiful overhead kick for Brighton against Chelsea in the Premier League.

I think I find it more peculiar than I should that Mehdi Taremi isn’t the first Iranian to bag a byci vs Chelsea. pic.twitter.com/uZJJHc9RzG
