Richey Edwards Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Ironic that a match that was billed as a showdown between two potent attacking trios was not necessarily decided by either attack but by a couple of goalkeeping howlers. You'd be slaughtered for months if you conceded either of those goals playing Fives with your mates, nevermind conceding both of them in the final of the most prestigious continental club competition in the world. Bale's first goal was a moment of brilliance worthy of winning any match. Genuinely one of the most unbelievable goals I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 The problem for Madrid is their team is full of big dogs who rise to an occasion which is fine when you’re playing the cream of the crop in the UCL but difficult when you’re playing shite like *squints at La Liga table* Girona week in week out. There is very little difference between Barcelona and Girona. They’re basically the same According to RyanAir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Zidane's > Bale's > Ronaldo's.I'm happy to give you zidane's as the best but surely ronaldo's overhead was better than bake's?Such a clean, perfect strike. Bale reacts well but it spins into the net, with nowhere near the timing or power. The only thing that makes it an unbelievable goal is the fact that it was the winner in a cl final.

1320Lichtie Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Bale > Ronaldo > Zidane Both they overhead kicks a lot harder to do than Zidanes volley surely. Maybe Zidanes before Ronaldos seeing as Zidane scored in the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each Real goal was scored just after I left the room the get the drinks. Replays are wonderful things. Watched it on French TV. It's good to get the atmos and commentary without understanding every word. I don't end up shouting at the telly. Schadenfreude isn't great, but sometimes it's all I've got.

topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Getting dropped, coming on as a substitute for the last half hour, scoring that frankly incredible goal, fluking another for good measure and then basically telling his employer to take this job and stuff it on live TV in front of a hundred million people. Zidane’s was just a really, really good strike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bale had much less time to react to the cross which makes it a better goal for me. Both were incredible goals though. I’m not sure how either compare to the Zidane goal, Zidane actually had too long to think about his cross which Roberto Carlos had scooped right into the air and the way in which he swiped it into the top corner with his weaker foot was absolutely sublime. Shite defending from Leverkusen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Zidanes before Ronaldos seeing as Zidane scored in the final Zidane hit a volley from twenty yards, with the ball behind him, on his weak foot. I'd rate it higher than any overhead kick, tbh, but Bales goal last night was a genuinely stunning moment, the pub I was in pretty much went silent before everyone went mental after it.

gannonball Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 All 3 are outstanding goals but Bale had next to no time to react which shades it for me. The technique of the other two are better but they had far more time to steady themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zidane has too long to think about his strike though and controlling the ball in the manner that he did was incredible. Hard to compare it to an overhead.

Hard to compare it to an overhead. I loved Zidane but fact he was given so much time and not had a player really near to put him off shows the goal could have been very avoidable where as the other two you cant really say that. Still a class goal in terms of sheer concentration and technique though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
