Manage episode 320642474 series 2768672
Somehow, we have gone more than 50 episodes without breaking down the art and science of a free-kick.
There have been so many weird and wonderful goals scored from free-kicks, so we unpack the process behind it, look into the numbers on goal probability, and read out some of your messages of your favourite free-kicks of all time!
The optimal distance to score from a free-kick? Wall or no wall? A well-placed curler or a blast at goal? We’ve got it all covered!
