[@pro_bh]

Carlos set the norm for what was to be expected of attacking fullbacks in the years to come… he wasn’t the best defensively but he’s one of the best attacking fullbacks of all time

[@BarEscm]

For me, this goal is one of the best ever for its difficulty (a perfect strike to a ball falling from very high, and with Zizou's less able leg), its beauty (a curved volley to the angle from almost outside the box), and its relevance (it was the winning goal of the Champions League Final). It's hard to top all that.

[@swagbaba69]

For me Cross was amazing not the goal

[@rchdb]

@@swagbaba69 How can you say that? What was so special about the cross? It's actually a 'blessing in disguise': a cross ball that spends so much time in the air isn't (most of the time) a good cross. Defenders can anticipate easier to such balls - in this case Zidane was granted way too much space. There was nothing extraordinary about that pass. You know what was more amazing? That subtle pass by Solari to Roberto Carlos: the weight of that ball and the courage to play it despite that Leverkusen player tracking Roberto Carlos. People are out of their mind.

Zidane saw this goal the second it left Carlos' boot, he swivels slightly while the ball spirals high into the air, he's never thinking of a pass or a lay off or controlling to play in someone else, he's thinking, "this is going in the top corner". It seems to take an eternity to drop but when it does the technique is flawless, with his wrong foot. I can't hold a pen with my weaker hand never mind write a classic. Complete mastery of his skills and the ability to drive those around him to higher levels. Proper player.

[@ignoram9us]

"Proper player" is an under statement.

[@jackflowt]
