7-Alessandro del Piero

His free kick prowess over the years has contributed to Del Piero becoming Juventus’ record goalscorer. Those set-pieces have also helped the Bianconeri to five titles. He has been hitting stunners since 1993, scoring a hat-trick on his first start for the club. A World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, Del Piero can curl the ball or hit it with power, as he did with one of his best free kicks against Inter Milan at the San Siro, also in 2006.

6- Wesley Sneijder

Another fine exponent of the dead ball, Sneijder says that hours spent on the training ground as a youngster honed his technique and made him the free kick taker he is today. The Dutchman claims he looks to aim the ball “between the second and the third man on the outside of the wall”. He checks the position of the keeper and the wind direction, before firing either through or over this part of the wall into one of the corners. Anyone who has seen his array of free kicks for Ajax, Real Madrid and Inter will testify that practice has certainly paid off

5- Andrea Pirlo

All it takes is a little practice every day and you can improve your touch and accuracy no end,” says the former Milan 'fantasista'. Well, Pirlo must have put in his fair share of hours on the training ground because he has been one of the finest exponents of a free kick in Serie A over the last 10 years. Another master of the curled free kick, there are few better at getting a ball up and over a wall of players

4-Michel PLATINI

Perhaps the greatest French player of all time, Michel Plantini was well renowned for his free kicks. During his playing career he scored some crucial free kicks for both Juventus and France. The standout strike would have to be his strike against Holland in the 1984 World Cup qualifier. His perfectly placed free kick resulted in a victory which guaranteed qualification for the French. He also scored from a free kick during the 1984 Euro final against Spain, although he had a helping hand from the Spanish goalkeeper!

3- Ronaldinho

The Brazilian’s free-kicks are a thing of real beauty. The former Barcelona idol approaches the ball from the side in order to get extra curl. The result is often a shot that bypasses the wall and ends up in one of the top corners. It is not all about power, for Ronaldinho often caresses the ball over a wall to get the desired result. One of his most famous free-kicks came against England in the 2002 World Cup.

2--David Beckham


The Englishman’s influence on the field may have waned in the latter years of his career, but he will maintain that ability to curl a free kick into the top corner for some time to come. Goalkeepers often know where he is going to put the ball, but are powerless to stop it, such is the power and precision of the strike. Beckham made his name at Manchester United, before spells with Real Madrid, LA Galaxy and AC Milan.

1- Juninho Pernambucano

Step forth the free kick master. Juninho currently plies his trade for Lyon and is absolutely deadly from a set piece. He has scored over 40 free kicks for Lyon with an unconfirmed conversion rate of over 50%! His unique style which sees the ball move in an unpredictable fashion should be familar to fans of the English Premier League as Cristiano Ronaldo uses a similar technique. Juninho has scored free kicks from just about anywhere on the pitch. It’s been said that a free kick for Lyon anywhere near the 18 yard box is almost as good as a penalty kick. That is a true testament to the ability of Juninho, the greatest free kick specialist of all time.
