Let’s face it. Finding video clips of Europe’s best goals isn’t always easy.
You have EPL clips that come and go due to rights issues, with the same applying for the German Bundesliga. Luckily for us, it seems to be fairly easy to find the best goals in Spain and Italy on a regular basis.
With that in mind, here are three of the weekend’s best goals in Europe, including Alessandro Del Piero’s absurd 35-yard free kick cannon. (I will add to the collection as I find more top goal clips, and will post a poll at some point today):
Alessandro Del Piero’s long-range free kick blast

Claudio Bellucci’s back-heel game-winner (look familiar?)

Xavi’s perfect curling free kick

If you have any goals from the weekend in Europe that you think deserve to make the Top Five, please share your suggestions below and I will look for clips to round out the list.
Mareval wins.
Wow, Turkish is not an attractive sounding language to me. No offense haha just had to say that
Told you the Del Piero goal was sick.
Seems like the week of the heel flick goal no?
Since it’s the best goals of the week and not just the weekend how about David Bentley’s bomb versus Arsenal

Also, Berbatov’s beautiful footwork and pass to Christiano for the finish

Folks, the section is for best goals in Europe, not best goals in Europe AND American goals in Europe. That said, I think some of you might have missed the post devoted solely to Altidore’s goal:

being an american i’d like to see altidore’s goal included.
Jozy’s goal should be in here as a top 5
Long live KING ALTIDORE
Like Rico said Suazo’s goal was sik…P.Aimar gave him such a class pass and Suazo took two defenders on and scored a great goal…
FORCA BENFICA
MemRook — thanks for the link. That goal by Mareval for Nantes is the best goal I have ever seen, ever. He hit that thing on a dead sprint with no bend from about 40 yards and put it so far upper left 90 that if it’s another inch higher, or to the left, it doesn’t go in. I watched it, like, four times. Phenomenal.

Oh and I like this one too, by Diego.
http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/1713568/ Hey ives, this goal is pretty sick. That thing is on a rope!
Where is Jozy’s Goal?!!!!
What’s wrong with Barca? Only 4 goals!!!
Del Piero’s goal was sick. Doni knew it was coming, and from 30 yards away he still couldn’t do anything about it.
Shaun Maloney’s for Celtic was pretty nice.
I nominate Rory Delap basically throwing it into the net AGAIN.
I can’t wait for a defender to purposefully clear the ball out for a corner rather than out of play for a throw in.
Gotta include Jozy’s goal, even if only for sentimental reasons
I obviously haven’t seen anywhere NEAR all the goals from this weekend, but from what I have seen Del Piero’s was the nastiest. Unreal.
David Suazo’s goal for Benfica was very nice. Also, it was Benfica’s 5,000 goal of the league…pretty cool a CONCACAF player got it.
watched the Juve game…. absolute beauty
