There’s more than a touch of Cristiano Ronaldo about this.
It used to be the preserve of Juninho in his Lyon days, but everyone from Andrea Pirlo to Cristiano Ronaldo is practising free-kicks with crazy swerve on them this weather and Gareth Bale is no different.
The Welshman scored Real Madrid’s second goal of the game against Espanyol this afternoon and there isn’t a ‘keeper alive who would have stopped it.
Look at the way the ball almost seems to change course and pick up pace shortly after leaving Bale’s boot…

Ronaldo isn’t a man who dishes out praise easily (to anyone apart from himself, of course) but even he must have been impressed by this.
