The goal happened on February 10, 2007, at Estádio Santiago Bernabéu, in a match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad (although it is often mistaken for the game against Levante because of the similar uniforms).

It all starts with David Beckham’s peripheral vision, who, upon noticing Roberto Carlos purposefully positioned out of the area during the staging, abdicates the conventional intersection to make a long, high pass towards the crescent moon. Roberto Carlos’ technique comes into action when he calculates the trajectory of the ball descending into a parable; he tilts the body to gain balance and, without the use of dominance, uses the outside face of his foot to reach the ball at the sweet spot. The result is a full-force first finish that enters the corner, invalidating any reaction time of the opponent’s defense.
