The bicycle kick is one of the most celebrated skills in the game. It’s a bit like the icing on top of a cake in football terms, with only the top names able to execute it with such ease and accuracy.
Here, we take a look at five of the best bicycle kicks of all time. What do you make of our choices? Let us know using #360Fans.
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC
There really was no other way for the Swede to score. Against England in 2012, Zlatan secured his hat-trick with an incredible bicycle kick from outside the box.
WAYNE ROONEY
A goal that takes your breath away. And no, it wasn’t a shinner. The power Rooney generated in his effort against Manchester City in 2011 makes it worthy.
RIVALDO
Not only did he score a hat-trick, he completed it with a last-minute winning goal v Valencia in 2001. Chesting the ball into space for the overhead was insane skill.
HUGO SANCHEZ
Striker Sanchez was known for spectacular volleys, and his best was the one for Real Madrid vs Logrones in 1988 as he sent a deep cross back into the far corner.
TREVOR SINCLAIR
By far the best thing Sinclair is known for. From 20 yards he somehow put power and accuracy into his incredibly agile strike for QPR v Barnsley in 1997.
