I thought about it yesterday too... those type of goals with the outside of the foot backwards are way rarer than scissors kick goals.
I don't think it was intentional. He was trying to avoid touching it because he knew he was offside.
Most of the times even judged by the new rules referees would call it an offside even if he managed not to touch the ball & it went into the goal 'cuz he's exactly on the line in between the ball & the goalie which makes him active in the situation... I mean even if he didn't touch the ball, his moves or simply the fact he's blocking the view of the goalie could make huge difference to the situation.
I think he knew he was offside & just finished that... players do that all the time.
It was very nice anyway but it was an obvious offside situation so it doesn't make any difference.
