Marco van Basten's volley
Marco van Basten's iconic volley was a brilliant strike performed during the 1988 European Championship final. As the ball was crossed into the box, he expertly timed his jump and swung his foot to meet the ball mid-air, connecting it perfectly with the inside of his foot. This precise contact sent the ball flying into the top corner of the net, demonstrating exceptional technique, timing, and control. The goal is celebrated for its power, accuracy, and the skill required to execute such a perfect volley at full speed, making it one of the most memorable and admired goals in football history.
