Well, we can shut soccer down now. On Thursday, Tottenham’s Erik Lamela scored an improbably great goal against Asteris Tripolis during a Europa League match.

You have to look closely or you may miss how incredible this is. Lamela scored with a ‘Rabona’ shot, where the ball is kicked with the player’s strong foot crossing behind their weak foot. Such a shot is usually only attempted close to the goal. The fact that Lamela is able to employ the ‘Rabona’ with such accuracy from such a long distance is ridiculous.

10/10. Will watch for the fiftieth time.
