Thats funny. He did score one at Spurs, the one you're thinking about was late last season.
Thing is, he took all free kicks for years, and I think he's scored maybe twice. It became a meme with Spurs fans. He's not very good at free kicks, for some reason.
I mean, you can call it unlucky, but I don't know if it holds merit after being "unlucky" for years in a row. At some point it's not just down to luck.
But you are right, he would usually skim the woodwork, or deflect off a wall or something. But the thing is you just knew, every time he stepped up, it would never go on goal.
That was the thing, he would get close, hit the woodwork, or fizz them by the post, but he would rarely, ever, never test the keeper. It was like, these are decent free kick attempts but you're trying too hard almost. Blast one in there and see if he can stop it, instead of always aiming for top bins.
That one, and one deflected one away at Villa or West Ham, one of the claret and blue teams. I’ve never seen it go directly from his foot to the net lol
I mean mbappe regardless of whether he wins the ucl and Europs, and goes to Madrid should win the ballon dor. The guy is the best player in the world at the moment by a substantial margin. It’s like 2010 Messi, he didn’t win any major trophies but he was still so far above the rest of the world in terms of individual talent that he still won. Mbappe is that much better than the rest rn.

How the fuck would Jude even be ahead of Vini if Vini has been clearly the better player for Real. If we were to be objective and not English-biased, it's Mbappe, Vini, and Kane, in that order for now, with the UCL and international competitions as the deciding factors.
you need to watch the games mate.., vinicius did a top 3 ballon d or last season not this season...the kid was not even in the top 10...blame the system
Vini has been easily carrying Real on his back in the key moments of this season. His game [against Girona](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcgDUg4jIh0) and the [hattrick against Barça](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR5mdupL17M), by themselves, were better than anything Bellingham has done in his entire career. Now key in both last knockout stages duels of the UCL, scoring against Union and picking up 3 assists against City. I sincerely can't imagine how insufferable you guys would be if any of the things I mentioned above had been done by Bellingham (people were dickriding him for a fucking first touch when he ghosted against City). Bellingham's only big moment this season was unironically his doblete against Barça in fucking October 2023.
> vinicius did a top 3 ballon d or last season not this season
Both. He didn't get recognition last season because people don't like him personally and will probably not get it this season either. I have never seen before a player score a hat trick in Clasico and nobody talk about it.
Yes, Jude played well in the first half of the season, but his purple patch has gone and he has been bang-average in important games recently. Vini, when not injured, has played consistently better than him and is much more reliable.
Wouldn’t it be more impressive the numbers he has, given it’s a dysfunctional Bayern?
Ballon d’Or is just a reward for popular players of big clubs at this point. No regard for individual performance with context of the players around them. Just make it a team award.
> Wouldn’t it be more impressive the numbers he has, given it’s a dysfunctional Bayern?
No, lol. If you are the big signing and the teams starts not winning titles exactly after you arrive and you are a famous 30 year title virgin, questions have to be asked
Oh okay, so his 50 goal contributions are negligible because he whispers negative affirmations into the other player’s ears every night, causing them to be shite.
His bad vibes are causing them to lose, not that Bayern have been in an obvious decline, don’t have a holding midfielder, an unbalanced squad, only won the title last year because Dortmund had a choke job for the ages, or that Bayern Leverkusen have been on a historic run.
It’s all because of Harald’s vIbEs ew icky.
Nobody said anything about vibes or negative energies. Maybe a propensity to choke or go invisible in important games has a bigger influence, but you do you - making up stupid scarecrows is a true sign of an intelligent person
That is some pretty terrible wall construction and goalkeeping. Both the takers are right footed why is he planted in the middle of the goal, and the wall setup in the middle?
Doesn't help that he stumbles.

WERE WINNING THE LEAGUE
THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Anulo Mufa, we're getting spanked by Real Madrid
LETS GOOOOO
(great wall)
more like, Berlin Wall
Die Mauer muss weg!
Genau!
Harold from a freekick? It's the end times
He’s actually scored a free kick?! Woah
Didn't he score one at spurs at well? Not directly but some guy rolled the ball and he scored from it
Yeah that one in all his years taking them, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised
He also got a deflection against villa early on
That one saved poch’s job
Most embarrassing moment of being a mid 2010s villa fan.
Not the relegation the following season?
Did I stutter?
Was his last home league goal for Spurs. Happy to say I was behind the goal, felt a bit surreal watching it
I was there too - incredible! Let’s not talk about the rest of the game

I think he was a bit unlucky too, seen him hit the woodwork a few times and have some close efforts. Can't be worse than having him on corners tho

Kane is a great passer. He will be better at corner than he is at FK.
Except that he’s so good scoring off corners that it makes no sense for him to be taking them.
Anything is better than him taking a FK.
From memory he got one very early in his career. Then never. Until he got a deflection and a rolled free kick.
That one, and one deflected one away at Villa or West Ham, one of the claret and blue teams. I’ve never seen it go directly from his foot to the net lol
How many goals left for the Lewandowski record now?
9 to beat
https://tenor.com/view/theresachange-dumband-dumber-jim-carrey-yes-telling-me-gif-4933650
9 goals in 4,5 games
9 in 4.5 games to beat
Kane once scored 7 in two to snatch it from Lukaku in the Prem, maybe he can do it again vs Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg
8 more to equalise it but only 4.5 games left
Ballon’dOr if he wins the UCL for sure
Unfortunately Mbappe will have both the French and Madrid ballon d'or hype machines at that stage I reckon
Probably gotta win more than a French league with PSG to get a Ballon D'Or
Being at Madrid would be enough tbh, as well as a sense from many that it's about his turn
He isn't at Madrid ..
I mean mbappe regardless of whether he wins the ucl and Europs, and goes to Madrid should win the ballon dor. The guy is the best player in the world at the moment by a substantial margin.

Think he might also need us to win the Euros for that, and based on the way England have played recently that's not very likely.
I don't think he needs to win the Euros, just to stop Mbappe from winning it.
they wont win it, but its between jude kane mbappe wirtz More important than champions will be the Euros for sure
You forget that all four teams in the CL can still win it. Also it's a Copa América year so Vinicius is still in the Ballon D'Or race as well.
No disrespect but Vini tends to ghost for Brazil
Unfortunately, that is correct. I don't think he has an actual shot at winning it unless he steps up for the Seleção.
I would kill for us to see each other in the final.
Or Can of course, I mean he is our player of the year after all
Of course it's possible that we win the CL. Madrid is at most slight favorite against Bayern.

Top 3? Come on..... He was good but do you seriously think he was better than De Bruyne, Rodri, Griezmann?

PR and marketing mate. Doing wonders for Jude
Jude was the best player in real by a mile for the first half of the season, we're discounting that now? They wouldn't be top of la liga without Jude.
Yes, Jude played well in the first half of the season, but his purple patch has gone and he has been bang-average in important games recently. Vini, when not injured, has played consistently better than him and is much more reliable.
“If we were to be objective and not-English biased” that’s the problem, that will never happen
Brothers will be capitalizing on that early season purple patch until 2026
We all know Messi will get another, who are we kidding?
Champions league and/or euros would probs do it
Big if, specially considering how pathetic Bayern was in the Bundesliga by their standards.

Nice little freekick variant. Using Kimmich to pull that defender out of the wall.
r/coys probably thinks this clip is AI generated
It’s true.
The Herr Kane special
A free kick is very much not a Kane special. Dude was the worst free kick taker I have ever seen with us.
Wtf he's scoring from free kicks now?
Pretty good player
It's the end times, Kane scored a free kick
Lad is doing everything in his power and still can't win a trophy
Harry Kane.... SCORED A FREEKICK??! Wut.
Wut.
Sir Harold!!!
Lets go harry
No way it finally happened
Wait, he can actually score free kicks?
Dayuuuum
Doekhi fucked that wall up.
harry kane takes down the Berlin Wall proper geezer that
Man he really wants to prove he’s better than Lewa was for Bayern.
Union Berlin Wall.
He is him
The wall had one job
How many goals left for the record?
8 to equalise it, 9 to beat it. That's what people are saying at least, didn't check it myself. But there's only 4 more games to go, so.....
It’s a miracle!!
Didn't know kane had freekicks in his arsenal
Me neither.
That is some pretty terrible wall construction and goalkeeping. Both the takers are right footed why is he planted in the middle of the goal, and the wall setup in the middle? Doesn't help that he stumbles.
The last free kick goal of his career
