I have great memory, but this one is too tough even for me. Especially as many great ones were scored before my time.

This isnt my favourite, but it is a nice one nonetheless:

Cambiasso (Argentina - Serbia Montenegro)

 

The goal you mean is yes of Mauro Bressan, he played for Fiorentina (8 years ago), and yes, that goal is very memorable and brilliant. But not best ever goal even unreal. Here:

There are tons of long range shots, a lot of dribbling past 5 players from midfield, lots of chips, lots of scissor kicks, lots of overheads.... but this goal is unique. Pure class with amazing touches to beat defenders with the ball in the air, while running.

As for the second best... one of these... ???

Yeah, this thread is tailor made for Le Tissier.

He wouldnt win the best goal ever prize (but he would seriously win the best shooter ever for me), but he would for damn sure fork out the most candidates for it. Absolutely sick mofo.

 

Oh man, i thought it was a Valencia player, still wicked goal.
And what do you think about Ibrahimovic's goal for Ajaz, that was number 2 in that 50 goal list.
Also Seedorf wicked looooong-range shot for Real madrid is mind-blowing!

Great shot but the goalie was way out of position.

 

The Seedorf goal, Sky were showing it live and because it was in the middle of the park they went to their expert in the studio for a word and the commentator just shouts him out when Seedorf lets rip. Crazy strike.

 

Le Tessier is a legend in scoring amazing goals, and so is this guy:

If you take into context importance of the game, I think Rivaldo's bicycle kick for Barca against Valencia (I think?) surely ranks amongst the top.

 

Jani, then Zidane's stunner in the 02 CL final IS the greatest goal ever :stuckup:

 

Would have been if it was a 1-0 win.

But personally, I don't rate that goal that much. I know almost all of you do, so lets leave it there.

Anyway, regardless of match-importance:

Robin van Persie super volley

Carlos Alberto's goal against Italy in the 1970 World Cup final was perfection. Not only the best goal ever but for me the essence of football.

 

+ 1.

The best goal I've seen scored as well.

 

Care to post a link of the Zidane goal van Persie imitated?

Would love to see that one!

 

I meant to say Zidane's volley goal against Leverkusen was more impressive than Van Persies volley, because Zidane scored with his left foot(he prefers his right foot). Not to mention Zidane scored his goal in a CL final

 

Totti's goal against Inter couple of seasons ago. Had the ball in Roma's half, passed 3 Inter players running through the whole field and end up with a beauty cucchiaio on top of Toldo's head.

I remeber watching the game with my brothers.. we were so amazed that we kept it quite with our jaws dropped for a whole minute.

The girl jumping in celebration with the players on the background made it even more special.

 

Zidane's is so much harder than Van Persie's:

1) On the flank
2) Ball from higher, and quite more vertical
3) With his unprefered foot
4) Much more minded than VP goal (there is much less place for luck in Zidane's goal than in VP's)
5) CL final for god's sake!!

No it's not.

RC is running at full speed (+ outside of the boot which you've already mentioned) making it totally different than scoring from a set piece.

For me it's the 2nd best goal I've ever seen after Rivaldo's Bicycle kick against Valencia.

BEST GOAL EVER

Totally agree. Comparing RCarlos's goal to a simple corner is absurd. Absolutely nothing in common aside from happening to be kicked from the touch line. A rather absurd assertion, actually.

 

Zidane had all the time in the world to balance himself think about how to react, not to mention no defender around in 10 meter diameter.

Van Persie was more difficult.

 

No one could have scored the goal Zizou scored. NO ONE!
Legendary goal for a legendary player, as simple as that.

 

The Van Persie volley is not elegant. The Zidane goal is special. Personally it's my favourite!

 

Speaking of volleys.....

I can't believe people are debating Van Persie Vs Zidane in the volleys front when the Van Basten one is right there, and clearly better than both.

 

Trevor Sinclair's bicycle kick from outside the area is still the best goal I've ever seen. I'll youtube it up when I get to work.

 

Van Basten, Savicevic, Weah. Keep ur Le Tiss, and that fluke bald frenchie.

Van Basten - vs Russia, and Gothenberg, Savicevic - Barca, and Weah - Verona.

 

bressan bicycle kick waaaaaaaaaay outside the box is mind blowing!
and Mendieta volley against Barca.roud:

 

Despite this being a highly subjective topic I'm very surprised that only myself and pun seem to think that Carlos Alberto's goal was the greatest ever. All the goals mentioned here are wonderful finishes, truly memorable goals, but Carlos Alberto's had everything - the perfect place (World Cup final) against what was a great Italy side, a beautiful team move and a highly underrated finish. Something like only two players didnt touch the ball in the build up, which may have not contained as many passes as Cambiasso's in WC2006 but was much more beautiful. Tostao coming back to win the ball, Clodoaldo's mazy dribble of four(?) Italian players, Jairzinho picking up the ball from Rivelino on the left (Jairzinho being on the left made Facchetti push forward which in turn made space for C.Alberto), then the greatest player ever doing a simple thing perfectly, looking up and playing a measured ball into Carlo's Alberto's path. The finish cannot be compared to Van Basten's but remember the ball bounced off the turf before he struck it. Excellent finish.
