Best Goal



Rivaldo (vs Valencia, 2001, La Liga)

Rivaldo

On Sunday night, June 2001. A few seconds more, Barcelona would be got unexpected disaster : fail to quality in Champions League qualification. Barca, play in a “must-win” match against Valencia, still playing 2-2 in Camp Nou and by favour of 2 goals from Rivaldo : A perfect free-kick and a long shoot while backing goalpost on end of penaly box, when he receive a lob pass from Frank De Boer. Surrounded by opponent defenders, he calmly lob the ball to the air with his chest and then made a spectacular “overhead-kick.” The ball dashed strongly to the bottom corner of goalpost. And a host supporters yell. Such for Barcelona president too, Joan Gaspart, and then he apologize to his friend in Valencia as he celebrate the goal excessively. A magical goal from Rivaldo save the Barcelona fate that season. “Scoring that goal was incredible,” Then Rivaldo explain it with smile when FourFourTwo asking him about that goal. “ First : That goal was incredible. Second : That goal created in last minute on the game when the match is still draw. Third : We qualify to Champions League. I ever made many beautiful goals, but that goal was the best because contain important thing. I never saw that goal happening anymore.”
