Neymar Punishes Physical Play With Two Goals In Two Minutes, Including Perfect Free Kick

As one of the fleetest-footed footballers in the world, Neymar is subject to a lot of physical abuse. Always wanting to take opponents on with his dazzling skills, defenders are often forced to resort to violence to stop the Brazilian.

But you can’t stop a perfect free kick, and Neymar punished Red Star Belgrade with just such a shot in the Champions League on Wednesday in Paris. 

Incredible Free Kick Is Amplified By Beer-Chugging Celebration

The legend of 37-year-old Swedish midfielder Kennedy Bakircioglu grew today after the Hammarby IF legend hammered a free kick in the 79th minute of a 3-0 victory over Goteborg before celebrating by catching a beer and chugging it.

When you’ve made nearly 300 appearances for your club, scored almost 100 goals, been capped by Sweden 14 times and are now just a month away from your 38th birthday, you’ve earned yourself a cold one.

What’s incredible is that the goal is every bit as good as the celly. What a hit. 

Robin Van Persie Smashes Game-Winning Free Kick, Is Given Straight Red Minutes Later

Feyenoord defeated Vitesse 2-1 in Eredivisie action today thanks to Robin van Persie’s thunderbolt of a free kick in the 87th minute. With the job finished, the 35-year-old immediately proceeded to go studs up from behind on some poor fellow to earn a straight red. 

87’: Score one of the best free kicks the division will see all year.

91’: Earn a three-match suspension.
