When he steps down at a training session and stuns Lionel Messi himself.
When it comes to ranking the most skilled free-kick kickers in football history, of course David Beckham high on the list. The Englishman had a fantastic right foot and scored so many unforgettable goals for Manchester United, Real Madrid and England over the years.

There is a very good reason why a feature film was made which is actually called “Screw it like Beckham”. He had one of the most sensitive free-kick feet and showed it time and time again by fooling both the defensive wall and the goalkeeper with his twists.
