Dutch Master

The whistle blows for a free kick just outside the box. You’re handed the ball. So what’s it going to be? Power or placement?

For Wesley Sneijder, the answer is easy. Don’t choose between the two when you can deliver a killer combination of both.

Give Sneijder a set piece and his brain’s already whirring. How far out is it? How hard is the ball? What’s the angle? The wind speed? What boots is he wearing?

Being one of Europe’s dead ball masters isn’t easy. But when free kick magic happens this often, you know it’s not coincidence anymore. It’s next level skill.

You're 3-1 up in the last seconds of the game. You've won the group by a mile.
No-one can match you for points. Goal difference makes no difference.
You could take the ball over to the corner flag and run the clock down.
Or you could be Wesley Sneijder.
