Goal Neymar vs Flamengo Puskas Award 2011 Candidate

[billyneville]

It's difficult to put into words how much hype surrounded Neymar in the early 2010s

[Aloha]

I would recommend everyone to watch this full match, one of the most electrifying matches I’ve ever seen .. and you have Neymar and Ronaldinho playing against each other

Santos were ahead 3-0 after 26 minutes here but they still lost 4-5 somehow

[MrShaneHardy]

Some say the commentator is still saying "GOOOOAAAALLLL" to this day

[silasnazare]

Todos tem que reconhecer, esse foi um dos gols mais bonitos que já vi na minha vida.

[cristobalramos]

con solo ver tus partidos me daban ganas de salir a jugar para pisar la pelota como vos, para regatear a los defensas como vos y hacer magia en la cancha. que triste que tuvo que acabar como acabó, pero jamás olvidaré la alegría y el goce que me daba verte jugar, y más aún, verme conmovido con solo tener la ilusión de poder algún día ser como tú.

That skill at 0.20 is just insane. He's never done it before which makes me think it was instinctive at the time.

19 year old Messi scored a hat trick in El Clasico, Ronaldinho assisted one of the goals
19 year old Neymar faces his idol Ronaldinho and scores a Puskas winning goal

Greatness all round.

Best skillster ever, best footballer ever

There are people out there comparing this masterclass, this jewel of a goal to fucking Son goal vs burnley, i want to left this planet lol people are so biased 🙄🙄😭😭

Fun Fact: This goal makes Neymar go to Barcelona and he was battlin' against the Best Player of the World (Ronaldinho)

I don't like the guy at all, but I can't believe people here are blind to the unbelievable skill involved in this! To get away from the two defenders on the wing is one thing, to then take the return pass on his weaker foot whilst being pulled back by the defender, roll the ball over to his left, put it round the defender (again with his weaker foot) and finish, all whilst moving at speed..is something on another level of difficulty to Son's sprint goal, or Giovani Dos Santos' chip where he didn't beat anyone first.
Neymar has such beautiful balance without being overly one sided (Messi/Maradona) he seems to float along the pitch. Obviously he's not as good as them, and he spends more of his time rolling around looking for fouls, but when he's taking people on he's amazing to watch.

Este junto al gol de Chilena de Cristiano a la Juve son los Goles que mas me han dejado impactado... crack

I was 29 days old at that time as soon as I was born

At 0:10 if I was to tell you Neymar would be centre of the pitch running down on goal 5 seconds later, you'd have me committed.
If I then told you at 0:18 Neymar would be, centre of the box, one on one with the goalkeeper 3 seconds later, you'd burn me at the stake.

[huseynemi]

imagine a player like neymar at 19 today...

[NB]

that talent brings him now 150million euros per year, it's pity for us not for him and i'm happy for him. he earned that.

[maik]

Neymar’s goal was good enough to not be a robbery

[xshadowFX]

one of the best goals i have ever witnessed

[marciodeassis]

Saying that Rooney's "common" goal was better than Neymar's goal is a crime against football.
I would like to see Rooney score a goal like that. 👀
