There are some moments that make you marvel at football and the emotions it can make us feel, as well as the truly beautiful, poetic, and occasionally terrifying moments and photographs it can give us. The minutes of all the games may become blurred in our memories, and we may not remember each game specifically. Even though these events may have very different characteristics, they are comparable in that we are still discussing them years later.
Depending on whose team or league you support, everyone’s list will be different, but we’ve made an effort to keep ours completely objective. Consequently, the following list of the top 3 football-related shockers is provided:
Goal by Messi for FC Barcelona (2007)
Messi is currently regarded as one of the greatest footballers of this generation, if not all time. However, no one was aware of him when he first began to play for FC Barcelona’s first squad. On the field, he was a small figure who did not really draw much attention—that is, until he had the ball in his hands. He quickly scored his first goal for Barcelona after being drafted into the first team, and in typical Messi fashion, it was a beautiful, chipped shot. Simply put, this objective is legendary.
Totti’s Farewell Speech (2017)
At the age of 40, Francesco Totti, who is now frequently associated with loyalty, ended his career in football. While he was unquestionably a fantastic footballer in his own right for Roma, it might be argued that if he had left Roma for any of the prestigious clubs who were courting him, his talent and skill could have been better utilized and he could have earned much more money and accolades. He even had the chance to join Real Madrid as a Galacticos, but he chose to stay with AS Roma instead, the team he played for as a youth.
HE famously once said “They taught us in school that family is the most important thing. Roma is my family. Have you ever heard of someone leaving his poor parents to live with rich strangers.” His parting speech to a stadium full of teary-eyed fans demonstrated how really beautiful his passion for Roma was.
Spain Winning the World Cup (2010)
AH! One of the best football tournaments ever hosted, the 2010 World Cup, offered us absolute jewels like Shakira’s song Waka Waka and the obnoxious yet adored sound of the South African vuvuzelas. One of the best national teams to ever be put together is undoubtedly the Spanish team that was sent to the 2010 World Cup. The top footballers in the world were present, including players like Xavi, Iniesta, Casillas, Ramos, Busquets, and Villa.
