Neymar’s Flying Backheel Assist Is The Moment He So Desperately Wanted In The UCL
With the halftime whistle approaching and PSG nursing a slender 1-0 lead over RB Leipzig despite a dominant opening 45 that included seven shots and 70 percent possession, a horrible turnover from Péter Gulácsi presented the Parisian side with a chance to double its advantage.
The Leipzig keeper’s pass initially went straight to Leandro Paredes, who rifled a ball at Neymar just inside the area. For the normal footballer there’s not a lot that can be done with Paredes’ pass, but Neymar is not a normal footballer.
Watch Alphonso Davies Humiliate Messi, Semedo With One Devastating Run
In the lead-up to Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarterfinal against Barcelona, much was made over Canadian teenager Alphonso Davies’ conversation with his father about playing against his idol growing up, Lionel Messi.
Little did Pops know that Davies would use the opportunity to abuse Messi, Nelson Semedo and the rest of the Barcelona defense to set up one of the best goals of the year en route to a devastating 8-2 win.
Top 10 LaLiga Goals 2019-20: How Could This Not Be The World's Best League?
From start to finish, the 2019-20 LaLiga season extended across 338 days. When it can prove difficult to remember what you had for dinner last night, it’s equally as challenging to remember that spectacular overhead kick that Aritz Aduriz scored against Barcelona back on August 16 of the venerated year of 2019.
Messi Beats 3 Defenders, Falls Over, Recovers Possession And Scores While Falling Over Again
Barcelona’s path to the Champions League quarterfinals looks assured after Lionel Messi put his side up 3-1 on aggregate over Napoli by conjuring a goal from the seat of his pants.
After beating three defenders in Napoli’s area, the chance looked over after Messi lost his balance and was sent tumbling to the floor. However, the 33-year-old brushed the dirt up off his psyche and finished beyond David Ospina while falling over for a second time.
Oh. My. Messi.
Nani Scores Two World-Class Goals To Lift Orlando To MLS Is Back Final
With All-Star right back Romain Métanire nursing a hamstring injury, Minnesota United manager Adrian Heath had to turn to second-year jack of all trades Hassani Dotson during Thursday’s MLS is Back Tournament semifinal against Orlando City.
Dotson has proven himself a commendable professional despite having just turned 23, but a rare cameo on the defensive flank was always going to be a tough ask — especially so when the man he’s tasked with marking has made over 100 appearances for both Manchester United and Portugal: Mr. Nani.
Fulham Returns To Prem Thanks To This Flabbergasting 40-Yard Free Kick
Joe Bryan what have you done?
Fulham will return to the Premier League for the 2020-21 season after beating Brentford 2-1 in extra time in the “world’s richest game” on Tuesday at Wembley Stadium. The EFL Championship playoff final was scoreless through 105 minutes until a stunning free kick from about 40 yards out was scored by Joe Bryan, who added a second in the dying minutes.
A Celebration Of AFC Bournemouth's Unlikely Premier League Run
By all accounts, Bournemouth never should have made it to the Premier League.
In February of 2008, the club entered administration due to $4 million in unpaid debts and was deducted ten points in the league standings. Bournemouth was relegated to League Two at the end of the season, and at the beginning of the following campaign the club was still very much on the brink of insolvency.
Japanese Team Scores With The Quickest Counter Attack Imaginable
“Route One Soccer” is a seldom used tactic that happens professionally once every blue moon and actually works even less of the time. The strategy is often seen in U.S. youth games when the goalkeeper punts the ball as far as he can and the fastest kid on the team tries to outsprint all the opponents to the ball. Route One style of play is the exact opposite of tiki-taka.
Domenico Berardi Steals The Show As Sassuolo Routs Genoa
Roberto De Zerbi's Sassuolo strolled to a 5-0 win against Genoa on Wednesday, in large part thanks to winger Domenico Berardi.
Berardi, who joined Sassuolo as a 16-year old in 2010, has been one of Serie A's standout players in 2019-20. After his man-of-the-match performance Wednesday, he has 14 goals and 10 assists this season. After providing the assist for the opener, Berardi scored Sassuolo's second with a beautiful curling effort from outside the box.
