This Barcelona Goal Has Manchester City Defenders Looking Like Children
Much has been made of Barcelona, who, though still dope as hell, are diminished from the time a few years back when they were invincible, and Luis Suárez, who is no longer the best player on his own team, let alone in the league.

Andrea Pirlo's Bomb From 30 Yards Out Is Almost As Majestic As His Beard
This is the perfect Andrea Pirlo goal.

Benzema Golazo Puts Real Madrid Truly Out Of Reach

Fernando Torres Scores First Goal Back With Atlético Against Real Madrid
Hey, maybe this whole homecoming thing is going to work out, afterall! This is the exact kind of goal Torres has made his once-proud name so infamous, one where he had ample time to size up a fairly easy shot, and instead of scuffing it into an ad board, he spanked it home....

The Biggest Dude In The World Just Scored Against Liverpool
They don't make 'em like Adebayo Akinfenwa too often. The man-mountain stands at five-foot-eleven, has to be pushing 200 pounds, and can reportedly bench press damn near 400 pounds. That's how you get a world's-best 97 strength rating in the FIFA games....

Let's ignore the video of Lionel Messi's second goal today for a minute, and just stare at the picture above.

I Think Érik Lamela's Got His Swagger Back
