Wondergoal: Johan Cruyff

August 21st, 2008 | By: Jan | 11 Comments »

JC made a lot of great great goals… If Van Basten’s volley is the quintessential Oranje goal ever, this goal is Barcelona’s most beautiful. Despite Romario, Stoichkov, Ronaldinho, Messi… JC made the best goal ever for Barca, against Atletico Madrid. The balance, the timing, the touch… And to be honest, the 1970s quality broadcast helps as well…

Enjoy!

This is my all time favourite goal. Good choice.

altough its not a beautiful goal my fav Cruijff goal has to be the penalty with Jesper Olsen…i think it really sums up the quality that Cruijff has; always looking for solutions outside the usual

I don’t even need to post here anymore - lately everything I’ve wanted to say has already been said by Goose!

He did it again talking about that penalty and he liked how JC could be creative to find solutions… I was thinking the same thing!

@ M-O
Dutch van or van der etc is the same as Scottish Mac or Mc or Irish O’ etc etc.
Thats why someone obviously did a quick translation. Not sure if its been taken on seriously
