In 1988, three-time Balon d’or winner Marco van Basten scored what is arguably the greatest European championship goal of all time during the 1988 final against the USSR.
Positioned near the corner of the penalty area, the Dutchman unleashed a thunderous volley from an impossible angle, sending the ball soaring over the goalkeeper into the far corner of the net.
To this day, the goal remains an epic spectacle.
8. Carlos Alberto v Italy (1970)

Edu Gasper Pens Emotional Farewell to Arsenal Fans
Edu Gasper has expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Arsenal fans as he bids farewell to the club after five years.
Tostão, who, with his back to the goal, told Pelé that Alberto was steaming in on the right flank. Tostão started the move five yards from the left of the Brazilian penalty area, then ran the length of the field to the Italian box without touching the ball again to tell Pelé to lay it off for Alberto.
The players involved in the passes in order were Tostão, Brito, Clodoaldo, Pelé and Gérson. Clodoaldo beat four Italian players in his own half before passing to Rivellino who hit a perfect pass down the wing to Jairzinho.
Jairzinho crossed from the wing to the centre of the box to Pelé who held the ball up to play a pass for Alberto to smash it home. The only outfield players not involved in the move were Everaldo and Piazza.
7. Zinedine Zidane v Bayern Leverkusen (2002)
)
In the 2002 UEFA Champions League final, Zinedine Zidane produced a moment of magic with his left footed volley from the edge of the box to give them a 2-0 win and their ninth title.
Delivered by Roberto Carlos, the ball hung in the air before Zidane connected perfectly, sending it into the top corner.
6. Cristiano Ronaldo v Juventus (2018)
Cristiano Ronaldo’s bicycle kick in the Champions League quarter final against Juventus in 2018 was so magnificent, it earned applause from Juventus fans, who would soon be calling him one of their own as he would move to Turin that summer.
Ronaldo executed the perfect overhead kick to score, and it was the audacity and athleticism of the goal that cemented his status as one of the greatest players of all time.
5. David Beckham v Wimbledon (1996)
)
David Beckham’s life changed forever the day he found the back of the net against Wimbledon with a spectacular half-line lob into the back of the net against Wimbledon.
Spotting the goalkeeper off his line, Beckham, donning the number 10 shirt at the time, launched the ball over him, scoring one of the most iconic goals in Premier League history.

4. Dennis Bergkamp v Newcastle United (2002)
)
There were just 11 minutes on the clock in the North East when Patrick Vieira fed the ball into a talismanic No.10.
Bergkamp quickly moved it on to Robert Pires on the left wing, with the World Cup-winning Frenchman then spotting a dart towards the penalty area from his Dutch colleague.
A pass was pinged towards the edge of the box, where the Netherlands international had his back to goal and Nikos Dabizas in close attendance.
Rather than take possession, shield the ball and look to bring others into play, Bergkamp produced a nonchalant flick with his left boot and pirouetted around his marker.
With an impressive show of strength then displayed to hold off his man, Bergkamp retrieved the ball ahead of Dabizas’ desperate lunge and calmly slotted beyond the outstretched leg of Magpies goalkeeper Shay Given.
It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, with members of the home and away support both left rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
3. Roberto Carlos v France (1997)
In the Tournoi de France, Roberto Carlos scored a free-kick that seemed to defy the laws of physics.
Striking the ball with the outside of his foot from 35 meters out, Carlos sent it curling and dipping in a trajectory that baffled the goalkeeper and left spectators in awe. This goal remains a lesson in precision and power.
2. Diego Maradona v England (1986)
)

Years later, that goal is still considered one of the greatest ever scored in a World Cup, or anywhere else.
In 2002, the goal was voted 'Goal of the Century' as part of the build-up to the World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
1.Pele v Sweden (1958)
