#2 Blackburn Rovers: Doing a Kroos before Kroos
Toni Kroos scored an outrageous 95th-minute winner against Sweden in the 2018 World Cup. The goal was an example of inch-perfect execution under pressure by Real Madrid’s German maestro.
Ten years before Kroos, Ronaldo executed an identical freekick against Blackburn Rovers. Arguably Ronaldo's freekick was technically even better as he hit it directly from a dead-ball at an acute angle.
The cocky stance and the familiar run-up followed by the blast of the free-kick into the top corner left fans astonished and Paul Robinson befuddled.
