#8 Juninho Pernambucano vs Barcelona (UEFA Champions League 2009)
When you score as many free-kicks as Juninho, some of them are bound to end up in the bargain bins. But the Brazilian legend is undoubtedly one of the greatest ever free-kick takers.
Every time he stood up over a dead ball, there was something magical conspiring as he never failed to impress with his efforts. And this strike against Barcelona in their treble winning season of 2008/09, was straight out of the top-shelf of his free-kick closet.
The then-Lyon maestro put the hosts ahead as early as the seventh minute by lashing an effort into the net that took a beautiful curl on it way and left Victor Valdes with no chance.
We can make an entire list documenting all the amazing free-kicks by only Juninho, but for now, content yourself with this wowzer.
