No one expected what was about to follow, but the outcome is simply brilliant for the viewers.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic PSG vs Bastia
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is proud owner of black belt in karate. His flexibility comes as no surprise, as he did his move from a standing position and put under pressure from two defenders.
Thierry Henry Arsenal vs Watford
Thierry Henry has his own statue outside of Emirates Stadium. Such goals are the reason why he will always stay in the memory of those supporting Arsenal. This one he scored with a backheel and from a tight angle.
Oliver Giroud Arsenal vs Crystal Palace
Olivier Giroud has never been famous for his incredible technique. but in a London derby against Crystal Palace he produced a piece of pure magic. As Alexis crossed the ball, Giroud was running between two defenders and the ball was flying to his back. Probably even Giroud himself was left wondering how the ball ended in the back of the net.
Grafite Wolfsburg vs Bayern Munich
The Brazilian went past 2 defenders and the goalkeeper before cooly slotting the ball in the net. It would not have been so impressive if it was against some lowly side, but this goal was scored against Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich.
Cristiano Ronaldo Portugal vs Hungary
On the biggest of stages in Euro 16 Ronaldo found the net with a great back heel goal. The execution was perfect, as the ball was flying fast, but Cristiano managed to change the trajectory with a deft touch into the corner.
