Tonight is already a good night of Champions League football, with two stunning strikes flying in just minutes apart in the action.
First off, Napoli bagged themselves a valuable away goal against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu and what a goal it was.
After some gorgeous combination play in the middle of the park, skipper Marek Hamsik played the ball through to Lorenzo Insigne, who despite being around 35 yards out, caught Keylor Navas out completely with a stunning strike that bounced into the bottom corner.
He had no right to find the net from the position he was in. Most players would have probably tried to hold the ball up or dribble through but the Italian had the intelligence and audacity to try his luck and ultimately his sublime goal made a fool out of Navas in the Real goal.
Watch Insigne's goal here:
Not to be outdone though, moments later in the other game between Bayern Munich and Arsenal game at the Allianz Arena, Arjen Robben curled in a beauty into the top corner. It was your archetypal Robben goal; the Dutchman cutting in from the left before finding the top corner.
David Ospina in the Arsenal goal did his very best to keep out the strike but when Robben gets it on his left foot from that range, you just don't save them. You could make quite the montage of the 33-year old scoring virtually the same goal time and time again.
Watch the second stunning strike of the evening here:
Two very different types of goals, but both make for pretty good viewing.

Both games are currently all square at the break, with Karim Benzema levelling for Real Madrid in the 18th minute before Alexis Sanchez bagged an equaliser for Arsenal in Munich on the half hour mark.
The Chilean saw his penalty saved by Manuel Neuer after Laurent Koscielny had been kicked by Robert Lewandowski and fluffed his lines on the initial follow-up, but then reacted superbly at the second time of asking and smartly found the bottom corner.
