@Will Stubbs yea great assist. That finish though, one touch dink 20 yards out in a fraction of a second. Dudek didn’t even see it coming. Great movement too to open the space for the pass splitting the defenders like that.
His career was weird, he kept going back and forth between Chelsea and Inter... But his run in the Champ League with Milan was amazing, two wonderful goals in the final, too bad Milan weren't able to keep him, him and Shevchenko worked so well together
Because injuries had messed him up and destroyed his prime before he even went to Inter or Chelsea. Crespo's best years were pre-injuries when he was at Parma and Lazio.
One of my alll time favorite strikers!! Back when there was so many classic number 9’s like Batigol, R9,bam bam zamarano, Salas, vieri , shearer, kilinsman, bierhoff, Raul, morientes & I can keep going I loved all ,crespo was a goal hungry dog classic South American goal poacher, him on Parma & lazio is when I fell in love with him & seeing him link up with vieri at my Inter was a dream, wish he was better in the premier lg
Agree, these perimeter strikers are more adapted to Italy and Spain, where they have a few midfielders who are able to find them with that last high quality pass, rather than the premier league where the striker must trigger the action from lower damn the pitch. The same issue Shevchenko had when he played there as well
I'm also Argentinian and I agree with my compatriot!!! Batistuta and Crespo were in a league of their own!!! These two guys had it all!!! Maradona, Messi, Batistuta and Crespo will go into history as the best forwards in my country's HISTORY!!! That is no small feat considering the players my country has produced!!!
What a great times for Serie A that was. And those strikers duos Inter - Crespo Vieri, Milan - Superpippo Shevchenko, Juve - Del Piero Trezeguet, Roma - Totti Batistuta. I misssed this times
Crespo il primo anno alla Lazio era impressionante. Iniziò lento poi vinse la classifica marcatori facendo praticamente un goal a partita nel girone di ritorno. Segnava in qualunque modo possibile. Ricordo soprattutto un goal l'anno dopo, in un Lazio - Fiorentina, in cui gli arriva un pallone incontro ad altezza petto e lui fa una mezza rovesciata sparandolo all'incrocio, una roba uscita da Holly e Benji.
La caratteristica più straordinaria di Crespo è che era capace di segnare veramente in tutti i modi. Questi in Champions sono solo una piccola parte di tutti i gol che ha segnato in carriera eppure la cosa è già evidente: destro, sinistro, di testa (veramente impressionante), di rapina, da lontano, d'esterno, d'astuzia o di caparbietà. Sapeva proprio fare il suo lavoro, non c'è che dire.
Un giocatore così avrebbe meritato di vincere la Champions League. Fece doppietta nella finale assurda di Istanbul nel 2005. Il Milan vinceva 3 a 0 contro il Liverpool, poi si fece incredibilmente rimontare perdendo ai rigori.
That is just ridiculous, that for 6,5 years (1995-2002) when Batistuta and Crespo had been playing in national team at the same time they had less than 60 minutes together: against Colombia at the last fixture of eliminatorias 1998 in Buenos Aires in November 1997, in March 1999 at the very first Bielsa encounter with A team in friendly agains the Netherlands in Amsterdam and in June 2000 in Colombia in eliminatorias 2002. Had Passarella and, especially, Bielsa in 2002 hadn’t being so stubborn - Argentina could have achieved more in 1998 and in 2002 world cups. But it’s just amazing that for so many years Argentina had such interchangeable world class #9
What a serial goalscorer He always knows what to do with the ball and he runs into the spaces at the right time as well. What a finisher, wasn't able to what him play. His memories lives with us❤💙
2005 will always be the most inexplicable result. That Liverpool side was awful, played awfully for the first half, but somehow managed to beat a godly Milan side. Dudek must've made a deal with the devil beforehand
Liverpool team 2005 was great. They beat Juve and Chelsea in quarter and semifinal. But, in the final, yes they just have 10 minutes. After that, Milan was all out. It was like Bayern vs Chelsea in 2011.
5:15 and 5:55 , both goals at Milan, are for me his best. That header is one of a kind, stretched at his full lenght and the ball goes in at the last moment. Magnificent. And the second goal, that assist and the run of Crespo are exceptional.
That Parma he was playing in was a legendary team. Among the players were people like: Buffon, Ze Maria, Cannavaro, Thuram, Benarrivo, Sensini, Stanic, D.Baggio, Veron, Chiesa, Asprilla, Crespo and Abel Balbo. And Carlo "Carletto" Ancelotti as coach.

Unreal striker. Back when the Champions League was class and you had so many world class strikers. Miss those days.
Crespo with shaved head during his Parma days... Now that's a hidden gem 😄
😄😄😄 well said
i was shocked
3:30
That second goal against liverpool in the 2005 final = amazing

Chelsea also had similar messed up situation with Shevchenko !
Because injuries had messed him up and destroyed his prime before he even went to Inter or Chelsea. Crespo's best years were pre-injuries when he was at Parma and Lazio.
His prime was in Parma, ever heard of the Twins? Crespo and Chiesa, best attack duo at that time.
Crespo is true legend. We miss u, Hernan!
Absolutely loved Herman during his year at Chelsea, was gutted when he left. What a class man and player.
Hernan
Right foot, left foot, header... Had it all, brilliant striker
No speed

This man is a true legend. Always came on strong !!! Those were the days. One of the best striker I have ever seen.
he was a great finisher, his last hits are always high quality and strong. The years when football was aesthetic! current football 💵
Favorite Argentinian striker of all time. Deadly finisher, and he did it with FIVE different clubs.
5:52 Kaka's assist though. What a pass
Look at 2:00
The best assist I've ever seen in a CL final
@5:55
and a sensational touch from Crespo
Look closely
The opposing defender gives him the pass, not kaka
Crespo was my first favourite football player in the childhood.
He is a legend of Argentina and Italian football.
I just love his goal against MU on second leg.. what a header 👍👍👍
As an argentinian, you have no idea how we miss players like Crespo and Batistuta
Crespo and Batistuta made me root for Argentina from thousands of miles away as a kid. Messi will win it for them as well ! Vamos
I'm also Argentinian and I agree with my compatriot!!! Batistuta and Crespo were in a league of their own!!! These two guys had it all!!!

Damn, so many legends with their first UCL goal in 1997: Crespo, Trezeguet, Henry, Élber, Scholes, Figo and Inzaghi.

That assist from Kaka is just ridiculous.... damn
I remember those two goals against ajax...I was obsessed with that game that I recorded it so I can watch it over and over
legend
3:12 ICONICO!🖤💙
king of finishing
score even in tough position with such power most elegant striker.
What an amazing player he was
Amazing striker!
Argentina legand
Loved watching him
He was probably at par with Batigol, he terrorised defences for more than a decade while playing in Serie A.
parma, lazio, inter, chelsea, milan
2005 will always be the most inexplicable result. That Liverpool side was awful, played awfully for the first half, but somehow managed to beat a godly Milan side. Dudek must've made a deal with the devil beforehand
Actually is a good team with names like Gerrard, Alonso, Carragher, Riise and Luís Garcia. But yes, AC Milan at that time was far better.

They were mediocre. Classic tactical Play-off team with like 14 or 17 loses in domestic league and fifth position overall
Argentina had some great Stikers in the 90's.
Legenda! Grande Hernan Crespo
That cross from SWP though!
Crespo has a history with chiesa and amoroso.
1:11 Lol, he scored his first Champions League goal for Inter, against Inter.
5:15 and 5:55 , both goals at Milan, are for me his best.
That header is one of a kind, stretched at his full lenght and the ball goes in at the last moment. Magnificent.
And the second goal, that assist and the run of Crespo are exceptional.
Im a big fan of Inter, and Crespo is one of the champions I always admired even when he played in other teams
When Vieri assist to Crespo is one of the best moment I Saw
Next Serhij Rebrov, please!
Il mio attaccante preferito!!
Crespo, like Del Piero, had some awesome UCL goals.

Crespooooo legendary
What a team had Parma !!!!!
Crespo is one of the top finishers in futbol, his positioning and ability to score almost every game is unmatched
Brilliant player
Argentina's last real no.9 striker. He was a real master in the box.
Aguero?
next Diego tristan with his 15s goals please 🙏
yes!!!!
I liked him, Makaay, Pandiani and that super depor of Irureta
@@sashoksashok8108 that super depor era could beat any team. Bayern , Milan, Madrid, Barca. superb !!
HERNAN Crespo has changed enough Italians Teams during his Career
Legend
3:44 - That date must be incorrect? Crespo signed for Chelsea in 2003?
na sou saudosista mas reconheço que o futebol ficou moderno demais. o uniforme colado. a tatica o visual dos estadios tudo mudou. ate a emoçao mudou. nao ta mais prazeroso de como nessa epoca de crespo henry maldini recoba e etc.
Proper finisher
at 3:42 is not 11.04.2002. It was 04.11.2003 in Olimpico stadium. Crespo transferred to Chelsea on August 2003.
Crespo 😍
Bestxstrikee of his generation
No even in top 10
He must be the player that has scored under most different teams
touch and goal 👍👍👍
If he stayed at AC milan till 2007 he could’v got his first champions league but he is still one of the best footballers of all time
Last very good Striker for Argentina. Tevez and Aguero are on same Kevel, like Crespo and Batistuta 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
arma letale
Ele teve duas passagens, por três times diferentes
Hernan veri good 9

Part of 3 iconic Italian teams:
Parma - 1997
Lazio- 1999
Milan-2005
You forgot Inter my friend
He wasn't at Lazio in 99 but 00-02
Crespo, Van gol, Trezeguet, Rooy Makaay, Kluivert... Supper Centre Fowards
Pffff ok ok but you forgot about the real R9naldo bro
And what about Shevchenko or Dennis bergkamp for example?
🍻 Dude
If there's a player Who deserved to win the Champions League it's crespo :(
Next is Roy Makaay?
Total striker - left, right leg and heading. But too wild career to become legend...
el numero 21 es un golazo. y en la final. que dificil debio ser para el. anotar dos goles en una final de champions. y perderla
que grande valdanito
Wonder who has scored for most different clubs in the champions league? Crespo must be close if he’s not the record holder, with 5.
Grew to look more and more like Gabriel Byrne..the guy who played Keaton in The Usual Suspects!..
5:52 hermoso
5:53 woow what a masterpiece
top quality player, always had him in my team in PES6 😂
