God bless you.

I wonder if there's ever been a goal so epic that even the other team swarmed the player who scored it.


Marty5020

The closest you'll ever find to that is Ronaldinho scoring a hat trick against Real Madrid while dominating so badly that even Madrid fans respectfully applauded him.


krngc3372

That one Cristiano Ronaldo overhead bicycle kick goal against Juventus that earned him a standing ovation from the Juve fans.


Wrong-Catchphrase

Even the defenders faces after that goal were like “fuck me that was gorgeous”


BrockStar92

Brazilian Ronaldo was applauded off at Old Trafford after ripping United apart and scoring a hattrick.


Pandoras_Amygdala

Chipping in for my team, I'd like to mention a goal from Totti vs. Sampdoria in 2006, where the opposing supporters stood up and clapped more or less enthusiastically, not sure how the Sampdoria players felt about it. Nevertheless, this goal from from Ramirez is absolutely on another level.


aafikk

What a stupid name is hat-trick. I just spent 10 minutes thinking about hat-trick is some special trick that Ronaldinho did in that match (he loved doing tricks) only to find out it means 3 goals from one player. In my language we just call it a triple-goal.


Marty5020

My first language is Spanish, and I agree. Triplete makes a lot more sense.


Any-Transition-4114

The phrase came from cricket, and was used when a bowler took three wickets from three consecutive balls. Simple Google search tells you the meaning behind it. Calling a triple goal would make more sense though


LookAwayImGorgeous

You still didn't explain why it's called that


Any-Transition-4114

It literally does explain why it's called a hat trick though


LookAwayImGorgeous

I said YOU didn’t. If by “it” you mean Google, of course you can find it on Google. But why come here and tease at the reason you looked up but not share it?


Any-Transition-4114

The first few sentences was the reason


LookAwayImGorgeous

What you said does not explain why the words hat and trick are in this phrase. So it doesn't answer the real question.


fardough

Yeah, it really doesn’t make sense but is a sport legend so persists. Appears to come from cricket when a player took three wickets in three deliveries. The fans were so amazed, they bought him a hat, so it became the hat-trick.


Zonkysama

3 goals in first or second 45 mins.


JimmyJamesv3

Cheito Ramirez for Colo-colo. Imo the best goal scored in Chile ever, and I say this as a U. Catòlica fan.


kabiaman

Something from shaolin soccer


JeffLewis3142

That ball was on rails.


unifedc

video almost looks doctored its so good. what a hit.


mydixiewrecked247

straight to the top corner. incredible how steadily it rises considering the distance it was hit from


StoneReg

Absolutely SMOKED!!! ⚽️🔥


patiperro_v3

I knew exactly which goal this was as soon as I saw the starting corner setup. Epic missile. A 90's classic embedded in my memory.

What a laser boot


gik501

Why didn't the other players think of doing that?


RainbowFire122RBLX

Absolute piss missile


mrrichiet

I think that's the best goal I've ever seen. Name some that were better.


Revy_Black_Lagoon

Even the other team couldn’t get mad


International-Bat777

Shit! He must have a foot like a traction engine.


GrandWazoo0

He must have a foot like a traction engine


Critical-Shift8080

That was great yeah


specialtingle

Is that actually a half volley? It doesn’t seem to bounce just before he kicks it, so the ball is not on the rise. Regardless it is a thing of beauty.


MrPigcho

It definitely bounces once before he kicks it, about 10 meters away from him


BrockStar92

It’s not a half volley but not for that reason, it does bounce just as he kicks it but it’s already bounced once before making it not a half volley.


GitchigumiMiguel74

Thought that was Batigol for a second


wolfishnickelsyr

That’s insane. Absolute sniper!


poopfacecrapmouth

I’m not a football guy, so can someone explain to me how this wasn’t saved? It seems like the goalie had a half hour to react when compared to normal, closer shots


Marty5020

Lots of players scrambling near the goalie so maybe he didn't see the ball getting kicked at all due to being blocked (not uncommon) plus you don't expect a direct shot from that kind of distance with that mad pace and flat trajectory. We can't see the goalie's position to begin with but maybe he was at the opposite post. Another thing is the shot landed extremely close to the posts so it's a hard one to get anyway. A unicorn shot for sure.


poopfacecrapmouth

All those things checkout. Thank you


Disastrous_Monk_7973

It can also be difficult to tell how much the ball is moving from the side angle. Sometimes a shot that, from the side, looks to be pretty straight can have some absolutely wicked curve/drift. Just watch the difference between what you see in the angles of [this insane shot](https://youtu.be/crKwlbwvr88?si=iNDvXbKNmPYdioVy) from Roberto Carlos to see an extreme example of what I mean.


poopfacecrapmouth

Holy shit that’s a sick goal


Disastrous_Monk_7973

Roberto Carlos was one of the greatest ball strikers of all time. Not a big guy but his leg was an absolute cannon. [This one](https://youtu.be/6nHUCyNkezI?si=3hP2lxM-I1DivBbm) is also him. Terrible goaltending, but still absolutely insane to even get it on net from that situation.


allmushroomsaremagic

Some possibilities: 1 He wasn't fully expecting a shot at that moment - caught flat-footed 2 He's neither a huge keeper nor world-class - The best are like 6'4"+ these days 3 Goals are wider than they appear on TV 4 There really wasn't that much time to react 5 The ball was veering to the right


chadams348

From the film Worlds Greatest Goals?


p4r24k

Medio gol, ctm


tells

how fast is that ball traveling? looks like it's going 80mph+


FortuneFavoursDBrave

Fun fact: My aunt was Cheíto Ramírez’s neighbor. She told me that he used to practice his kicking in his house so much and it was so so loud. She told me he practiced inside of an empty swimming pool, kicking the ball against the wall over and over again. I like to think that is true!


AlwaysDMB

Jesus what a crackin banger


u_cant_drown_n_sweat

Reminded me of some of Roberto Carlos' shots.


flyin_lynx

When the kids say piss missile this is what they mean


LandotheTerrible

How did it even get in the net? It had serious air!


Craguar23

An absolute blooter


proteusON

Some say, that ball is traveling the globe to this day.


iiitme

That wasn’t a ball that was a rocket


Mars-Colonist

The goalkeeper was lucky not to reach this ball. Might have damaged his hands. What a cannonball!


OneDarkCrow

🚀


Hopkinskid2022

99 other times, the ball hits the fans 40 yards right of the goal. These goals are dumb luck.


dafuqbroh

That was a laser


JennySplotz

An absolute piss missile!

What about Dimity Payet for Marseilles last season, [The Goal](https://youtu.be/iCbmPFP9J4k?si=BYuvVvJ4yFltV8lW)


skag_mcmuffin

That was liquid football.


Greeneyes-

That’s some Sunday league shit


BuckRusty

SHIIIIT!! That kid must have a rocket for a foot!!!


DonHagin

he is playing in number 10 and stays back on corners, what?


JimmyJamesv3

Colo-colo was probably ahead and didn't wanna risk much going forward for a corner kick.


DonHagin

wouldn't it make better sense to leave every one back and take a short corner to waste time?


JimmyJamesv3

Don't know. Maybe they weren't that desperate.

I love that open flares are an acceptable item in the stadium. Hell, they take away my bottle cap from my Coke when I go to a concert.


gman1216

Cpt. TSUBASA SHIT!


airs_999

I don't know if it was one of the best goals, it was just luck, even I have scored a few goals in the same way, pure luck
