The Serie A season is just a few weeks old, but we might already have arguably the goal of the season.
Sampdoria defeated Napoli 3-0 on Sunday thanks on the heels of a beautiful back-heel goal courtesy of Fabio Quagliarella, who made contact with the ball in mid-air to seal the deal for the Italian club in the 75th minute of action.
Quagliarella took the hard and low pass from teammate Bartosz Bereszynski, timed his jump as if he was going for a header, and managed to get his back right-heel on the ball right into the back corner of the net.
Have a look from this angle to get a better appreciation for Quagliarella coordinating the jump and contact with the ball at the perfect time.
Magnificence. Check out the reaction from social media.
Now was that not one of the best soccer goals you’ve ever seen?
