Sébastien Thill’s incredible goal at the Bernabeu introduced Moldovan underdogs Sheriff Tiraspol to the world. However, his father, Serge Thill, can lay claim to an even more audacious feat. In 1997, while playing for Luxembourg club CS Grevenmacher, Serge took advantage of a new rule allowing goals directly from kick-off. He sent the ball soaring high into the air and under the crossbar of his opponents’ goalkeeper, leaving everyone stunned.
At the time of his father’s jaw-dropping goal, Sébastien Thill was just a young child. However, a future in sports was inevitable for him. His mother, Nathalie, was a talented athlete who excelled in various disciplines and played football for Luxembourg. Eventually, Thill Jr and his two younger brothers, Oliver and Vincent, would go on to represent their country in football.
In Tuesday night’s match against Real Madrid, Sébastien Thill scored a breathtaking half-volley that found its way into Thibaut Courtois’ top corner. The astonishment on David Alaba’s face perfectly captured the disbelief of witnessing the 13-time European Champions being defeated by Sheriff. With a victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, they are now on the verge of reaching the knockout stages.
While Vincent Thill pursued his career in French club Metz, following in the footsteps of Miralem Pjanić, who also played for Metz and Luxembourg youth teams before representing Bosnia and Herzegovina at the senior international level, Sébastien opted to primarily play in his homeland for Progrès Niederkorn.
