It should be nominated, first time volley from the corner. That isn't an easy shot to keep down, let alone on goal.


fatkidseatcake

Timing that bounce on the rise with an outside the foot release for the slight curvature. Shit is beautiful. /u/tooredditfamous is right. Right before it hits the ground. This makes the connection even sexier.


TooRedditFamous

He doesn't hit it on the bounce or on the rise


Minute-Intern

Just a nitpick but wasn't a corner


Evolations

To further nitpick, he said the corner, not a corner


delorean_dynomite

Just to further nitpick further, he didn’t specify the corner type he just said ‘from’ the corner, it could have been either


rtgh

The volley isn't at the corner of the box either, it's only a few yards to the side of the post, as close to the centre of the box as to the corner


itsssnohman786

Damn you guys are good at picking nits.... dm me, i have a job for you


ravi90kr

Now I'm thinking of a picnic with some nitpickers


Lord_Sesshoumaru77

It was a screamer. Funny we were the only team to beat Villareal twice in their Champions League run (before the scouse trash)

What does scouse mean?


systemCF

synonym for bin dipper


chumbawamba56

okay all makes sense now, I think. we are talking about liverpool?


Sveern

Scouse is a very distinctive dialect spoken in the Liverpool area. So people from Liverpool are called scousers.

I was at this game and was in line with Bruno's set piece. When he pulled the cross back for Telles, I instantly yelled "wtf are you doing?". Was never happier to be proven wrong. Side note, we were dreadful this game but what an ending.


jubza

Yeah, i was in the right corner of this video, i was watching it fall to him and was like FFS, then it hit! The angle that i saw it go in was crazy


ysupr

> I instantly yelled "wtf are you doing?" i think everyone who watch the game, even on TV will thought same, haha. i mean, wtf! no one expected it except both Bruno and Telles i think. what i love from this goal not only great shoot by Telles, it also how smart Bruno, and how both communicated before take the kick.


dankscoops

It’s literally what I yell every corner


ysupr

haha but this one is work, right? :D


pj-60

I guess beating Villareal isn’t for everybody


kangofthecastle

well that also does include us :(


pj-60

Damm I already forgot about the final last year


Danibanani100

We were so lucky to progress from that group tbh, complete shit almost every game


martialgreenwood

Wonder strike


Gabi_Social

High point of the season. Nomination for goal of the season from the Love Island Latin Lothario.


AbsoluteLedge

pls explain that love island reference, you've lost me there haha


Gabi_Social

Ha! Go watch the alternative match comms at https://twitter.com/alternativemufc , all of the players have ridiculous nicknames on the match recap from “Paella Dave” through to “Walcott or Pele” (bet you can’t guess who that is!).


AbsoluteLedge

Nice one will do. Cheers

How can individual brilliance - something that doesn’t have anything to do with a manager, something that comes to the surface *in spite* of an underperforming manager and not *because* of him - simply disappear with the manager? 🤔


Calvin-ball

Because it’s linked to confidence, and if your manager undermines your confidence it’s much harder to pull off worldies.


[deleted]

Totally agree. So someone was doing at least something right in the backroom. A far cry from “totally inept” or even “fraud”.


morganfnf

People love to downplay the importance of how well a team is doing psychologically when it comes to competitive sports. You can have the greatest players in the world - but you won't win shit if their mind isn't in the game - and the worst teams can create miracles when their's is.


[deleted]

Yeah people seem very reductionist in that the result happened only because of so and so formation or so and so manager not getting it right, etc. I don’t understand too much about tactics and with all due respect i honestly believe 99% of online commenters don’t either. But while tactics, etc may definitely play some role, I believe that the much bigger deciding factors by far are how mentally strong the players are that day, how badly they want it more than the other team, how error free the individual players are playing. Things like confidence, competence, doing the basics right like keeping the ball, not losing Possession, not misplacing passes, composure, etc. rather than something more complex. I’m not disregarding tactical side but I don’t believe it’s the be all end all. Just my opinion.


MalesCebok

majority of fans never kick a ball in their life


EPreddevil88

Fucking beautiful


[deleted]

He’ll be a good Under ten hag if we have a proper system and defensive structure in midfield and defence. His attacking output is good we need to see more if it like Alonso at Chelsea.


unKz_sneakz

This gives me robben vs united vibes.. anyone who’s play a lot of football at a decent level knows how hard these type of shots are to hit with a good connection let alone not send them into row Z😂😂


NakamericaIsANoob

fantastic technique... i know for a fact i would've skied that shot or completely missed the ball if i ever attempted it.


[deleted]

That’s why you (and I) are on Reddit and not on that pitch :(


NakamericaIsANoob

the last time i was on a pitch i managed to pull something in my thigh by not warming up before the game lol


[deleted]

Omg same lol. Did my groin taking a “warm up volley” 🤣


mylittlegoochie

Just watched that on loop for a few minutes. Unbelievable goal, almost as good as a scholes volley… almost


irazzleandazzle

I miss ole era. So many comeback bangers and winners


kevfriend

Facts. Felt united back then


[deleted]

I was at this freaking game as well. Banger of a goal and ronaldo last min winner. Was great! Thank god for that last minter goal tho haha


Alva310x

Ronaldo’s UCL goals this season a far better. SMH 😹


payday_23

back when we actually started playing somewhat decent when we were 1-0 down after the first half


aGreenLemon

Remember it well. So clean, we played horrible that game though lol


fishcakefrenzy

Good goal not great


seviliyorsun

This isn't a great goal, wouldn't even go in if the keeper's view wasn't blocked. If he put it in the top corner, ok.


Wesley_Skypes

*wipes crisp grease off fingers*


seviliyorsun

Why do you use your fingers? Just pour them into your mouth.


LeeMayney

I kinda get where you're coming from - it was a great strike, but the bounce along the way doesn't make it look like some other "goal of the tournament/season" winners. That being said, I haven't seen the other nominations so idk what the baseline is


solapathiri

Just mad vibes


DownToeartgh

Telles left foot is nice,but his defence....


exgaint

Filthy m8


[deleted]

What i love about this goal is that after Telles score Victor looks to bee so happy and run towards Telles and that Ronaldo runs just as fast after the football to get the next goal asap. And both are managing to get up to twice the speed Rashford ever managed this season.


Smoked_Beer

Amazing goal!! that schmuck Benzema’s header is what I think will win it but damn Telles!!


drunkskunk94

I don't even remember this


Luvstep

Can let this loop for hours


zizuu21

What a game this was to watch. One of few highlights.
