Mauro Bressan is an Italian footballer born on January 5, 1971.

He currently plays for FC Chiasso in the Swiss Challenge League.

[edit] Football career

His career peaked whilst playing for Fiorentina during 1999-2001 and though he didn't have any league starts, he did start three Champions League games for the Italian side. Mauro's main fame comes from one of these games, in the 3-3 draw against Barcelona on November 2, 1999. After 14 minutes he scored what is considered one of the greatest goals of all time, a spectacular 25 yard bicycle kick. An ITV programme on the 50 greatest Champions League goals had it at number 2, behind Zinedine Zidane's winning volley against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2001-2002 final.
