You probably remember Papisse Cisse’s goal of the season, scored against Chelsea for Newcastle this past May. The soccer goal featured above is easily in the same league  – or arguably even better.

Executed by Swedish player Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Nov. 14, this 30-yard overhead bicycle kick that became a YouTube sensation was not just a goal, but a “work of art,” as England manager Roy Hodgson told the BBC. Underlining his supremacy, Ibrahimovic, a martial artist, achieved his stunning feat of athleticism in the first minute of injury time after just racking up a hat trick. Thanks to him, Sweden swept a 4-2 victory against England.

According to the New York Times, Ibrahimovic is notable for, “his immense creativity, his irrepressible personality and his tattooed frame, regularly topped with a samurai ponytail,” and he achieved a variation of a goal that is “simply not supposed to occur.”

This one-of-a-kind player and his one-of-a-kind, odds-defying goal have certainly both gone down in soccer history.
