Roberto Carlos Incredible Free Kick (France 1997) (Sky Sports English Commentary) [HD]

The way they look at the ball, look at the way he's got it in his hands, he's having a good careful look about it. It's placed absolutely perfect. I mean, everything's set that he's going to hit it. I just wonder if they're kidding us or not. It's a 30-yard free-kick with a 20-yard run-up. That was what was missing in Euro 1986. That is quite incredible. I'm not so sure about the goalkeeper's position and what he saw, but we can't deny the quality of the strike. It had power, it had bend, it had accuracy. Watch this. Starts way, way, way wide of the goal. It's two, three yards wide. And just clips the inside of the post. That is quite a magnificent free-kick. I'm not so sure we'll see one better than that for many, many a year. Quite exquisite. An absolutely stunning shot. Well, he was as much a spectator as I was.
