Poor Diego López. He was actually the best goalkeeper at Real Madrid when he was sold last month but he didn't look like it during Parma and AC Milan's nine-goal ding-dong on Sunday night.

With Milan 5-3 ahead, courtesy of Jérémy Menez's opportunistic backheel, defender Mattia De Sciglio was keen to kill some time in the 89th minute, so he played a backpass to the Rossoneri's new goalkeeper.

Alas, López failed to control the ball and watched it trickle into the back of his net as he collapsed in a self-pitying heap.

López actually injured himself whilst conceding the goal

Fortunately for the Spaniard, the goal didn't prove costly as Milan held on for a 5-4 victory.
