The Longest Goals Of All Time

The best goals are the goals that no one sees coming. The long goals that come out of nowhere and no one can predict. All 14 of these goals, the longest goals in football history, fall into this category.

Some of these goals were scored by the goalkeepers, some of these goals were scored by the field players, and all of these goals were scored from inside their own half. Incredible. The longest goal of them all – Tom King's world record goal – was scored from 105 yards out, the equivalent of kicking a ball the entire length of an American football field and then some.

Monaco Player Scores One Of The Fastest Substitute Goals In Recorded History

AS Monaco midfielder Aleksandr Golovin almost scored the fastest substitute goal that the sport of soccer has ever seen.

It took Golovin all of 10 SECONDS to find the back of the net and give Monaco the lead. Talk about instant impact.

Gone In 6 Seconds: AC Milan Scores Fastest Serie A Goal Ever

Clocking in at just 6.2 seconds, AC Milan’s Rafael Leão has recorded the fastest goal in Serie A’s 122-year history.

Traveling to Sassuolo’s Mapei Stadium on Sunday, Milan went straight at the home side after kickoff with Hakan Çalhanoğlu carrying the ball forward. The Rossoneri No. 10 delivered a perfectly weighted pass for Leão, and the 21-year-old Portuguese forward put his name in the history books.  

Lionel Messi Iguala Legendario Récord de Pelé Con Un Raro Cabezazo

Lionel Messi hizo historia este sábado, igualando un récord que nunca podría haber sido posible si hubiera dejado Barcelona en el verano. Con un raro cabezazo en los descuentos del primer tiempo, Messi alcanzó la marca de Pelé de más goles en un club, al convertir su anotación 643 por el Barça.

Momentos antes del empatar el récord, Messi había lanzado un penal a las manos de Jaume Doménech. Pero Jordi Alba envió el balón de regreso al área en el rebote. Eventualmente, el cruce llegó al segundo palo, donde Messi cabeceó a las redes.
