Goals of the year 2025: dazzling skills, acrobatics and sublime strikes
In a season marked by incredible feats of athleticism and skill, one thing is certain - football fans will be talking about these moments for years to come. From the sublime to the ridiculous, here are some of the goals that have left us speechless.
For Mamelodi Sundowns' Lucas Ribeiro, it was as simple as driving a train through Borussia Dortmund's defense before coolly slotting past Gregor Kobel at the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Tottenham loanee Jamie Donley's shot from halfway down the pitch cannoned off the bar and into the net for an own goal against Manchester City in January.
But it wasn't all about the long rangers. Kévin Rodrigues' effort for Kasımpaşa against Rizespor was a masterclass of dip, and Jordyn Bugg's screamer from 40 yards out gave Seattle Reign all hope against North Carolina Courage.
In other words, there were goals aplenty this season, each one more breathtaking than the last. But what really sets them apart is the skill and technique on display. Take Kévin Rodrigues' strike for example - it's a goal that requires precision and power, and Rodrigues delivers both in spades.
Of course, no season would be complete without some sublime strikes. Ángel Di María, now with boyhood club Rosario Central, rolled back the years to score a late free-kick winner in the derby against Newell's Old Boys. Meanwhile, Micky van de Ven's dazzling solo effort for Tottenham was the talk of the town.
But what really stands out is the creativity and imagination on display. From Lizbeth Ovalle's ridiculous scorpion kick for Tigres to Pedro de la Vega's outrageous volley for Seattle Sounders, these goals are a testament to the ingenuity and flair of modern footballers.
As we look ahead to 2025, one thing is certain - there will be more moments like this. More goals that leave us speechless, more strikes that inspire awe. And as football fans, we can't wait to see what's in store for us next season.

i mean lucas ribeiro just casually drives a train through borussia dortmunds defense and slaps it past kobel like he owns the place 
. and jamie donley's own goal against manchester city was literally insane 
, and jordyn bugg's screamer from 40 yards out gave seattle reign all hope against north carolina courage 
. micky van de ven's solo effort for tottenham was fire 
, and lizbeth ovalle's scorpion kick for tigres was just wild 
]
. And yeah, it's not just about the long rangers – those short-range shots are where the pros really shine through 
. It's what makes football so exciting to watch! 
️
I'm so hyped for the upcoming 2025 season! The skills and technique on display are insane 
. Take Kévin Rodrigues' goal against Rizespor, it was like a work of art 
? It's not just about the athletes themselves, but also about how they're able to create moments that leave us speechless 
. Can't wait to see what other incredible feats of athleticism and skill we get to witness next season 
!
this season, especially the one by Rodrigues where he just dips the ball like nobody's business 
and that kavin rodrigues strike tho 
i'm lowkey obsessed w/ these goals 
. Like, Lucas Ribeiro just posted a selfie with his train-like goal and it's giving me LIFE 
It's like he's trying to be the real hero of that match. Anyway, one thing that really caught my attention is how footballers are using their platforms to promote positivity and self-improvement off the pitch. Kudos to them for showing us that it's not just about scoring goals, but also about being a role model 
. Bring on 2025 and more amazing moments from our favorite players! 
And don't even get me started on the safety concerns - all those high-flying headers and reckless tackles... 
I'd rather watch a game without all the fancy tricks and focus on the actual football skills. Plus, what's next? Goal-scoring robots?! 
so yeah can't wait to see what 2025 brings 
I'm literally speechless after reading about these insane goals 
are on a whole different level of ridiculousness . And don't even get me started on Kévin Rodrigues' dip masterclass 
and Ángel Di María's late free-kick winner rolled back the years 
but what really caught my attention is the creativity on display this season. lizbeth ovalle's scorpion kick was insane 
It's almost like he's doing something we've never seen before, but at the same time, it's just so natural for him. And then there are players like Kévin Rodrigues who can dip the ball in mid-air and still manage to hit it with precision. That level of control is insane! 
.
Those long-range shots are always a thrill to watch. I mean, Jamie Donley's own goal was insane! 
And Kévin Rodrigues' strike for Kasımpaşa? Pure perfection! 
. It feels like we're stuck in a loop of the same old skills and techniques. Where's the innovation? Where's the creativity? Can't they mix it up a bit? 
anyway can't wait for 2025 to see more goals like this
