Probably the best I have seen though is either Garnacho or Trevor Sinclair. Incredible overhead kicks. Bale, Rivaldo, Rooney and Ronaldo's too, among others.

Edit - holy fuck, forgot Zlatan. That takes it. Miles out and the ball doesn't even bounce til it crosses the line.
Nothing tops Zlatan's goal imo
Another bycicle kick that was scored in that period which is forgotten
Rivaldo's against Valencia is also very impressive, just outside the penalty area, stops it with his chest and executes it beautifully. Similar to Cristiano's just farther. I believe this win sent Barcelona in the Champions League for the next season

Rivaldo's is a beauty. Too much power.

The Porto goal is still one of my favourite goals of his - it doesn't seem to get talked about as much as others but look how far out he is, how perfectly he connects, and how it flies so straight like an arrow into the top corner more or less

You feel the power of the hit...unbelievable goal. Against Ivory Coast he had also a brilliant shot but hit only the post, do you remember it?🤔

Rivaldo's goal was pure magic. Zlatan's goal was also great, but it was during a friendly game. Rivaldo's goal was absolutely major decisive. A game winner and IIRC it qualified the team to Champions League in one of the shittiest seasons of Barca ever.
The idiots that compare Rivaldo's beauty with that half-arsed effort from CR in a glorified friendly need to be banned. It's not even about the moment or opposition here. Just take into account all the variables to pull that off and realize it is an outrageous goal.

Rivaldo's - back to goal, from outside the box, between three defenders(little time to decide what to do), controls a fast ball with his chest, fires it at top speed away from the keeper and Canizares was a top GK back then.

CR's - he's 2m in front of goal, with a clear view, no one is really marking him, ball comes at him at way lower speed, he hits the ball from the side

Yes, Rivaldo's is a much better goal, both occasion and ability wise. I don't think anyone has denied that really. Ronaldo's bicycle kick the other night is one of the less impressive ones ever scored, still decent though.

He’ll play for Portugal till he’s 65 and stink up another 5/6 WC and Euro campaigns for them :lol:

He’s been Bumnaldo the last 6 years :lol:
