We can guarantee that this is the best bicycle kick from a goalkeeper that you’ll see today

Normally when the goalkeeper heads up for the desperate last minute goal, you’re expecting him to use his physical presence and get his head on it, if not scoring then knocking it down for one of the outfield players who knows how to finish. Leave it to the lads with some actual talent is normally the message that he’s left with.

That’s not how they play the game in Spain, and one man who wanted to show what exactly keepers can do this weekend was the guy between the sticks for Mallorca-based side Alcudia, Toni Barceló. He took the long walk up to the box in the last minute and scored an incredible bicycle kick to earn a 1-1 draw for his side away to Mallorca B.

What’s even more amazing is this was just a few seconds away from becoming Mallorca B’s 12th consecutive win in the Spanish third division. That’s some way to deny them the victory, it must be said.
