Tim Weah followed in his father George Weah’s legendary footsteps by scoring against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu, mirroring his father’s iconic 1994 goal.
In 1994, football fans across the world watched in awe as George Weah, the electrifying Liberian striker playing for Paris Saint-Germain, tore through Real Madrid’s defense at the Santiago Bernabéu, scoring a sensational solo goal that sealed his reputation as one of the most gifted African players of all time.
Fast forward to 2025, and history repeated itself in poetic fashion—his son, Timothy Weah, now playing for Juventus, found the back of the net at the very same stadium against the same iconic opponent, Real Madrid.
George Weah’s goal was more than just a strike; it was a statement that African players belonged on football’s biggest stage. From PSG to AC Milan, Weah’s career was decorated with brilliance—culminating in his 1995 FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d’Or wins, the first and only for an African to date. Beyond the pitch, he became a symbol of hope, later transitioning from global football icon to President of Liberia.
For Timothy, the weight of his father’s legacy has always loomed large. Born in New York and molded by the modern European game, the 25-year-old winger has played for PSG, Lille, and now Juventus, forging his own path defined by pace, versatility, and work ethic. His goal at the Bernabéu wasn’t just a highlight—it was a generational echo, a reminder of the Weah family’s footballing bloodline.
As Timothy celebrated under the Madrid lights, fans around the world couldn’t help but marvel at the symmetry—thirty-one years apart, two Weahs, two unforgettable goals, one legendary legacy continuing its run through time.
