Andre-Pierre Gignac’s bicycle kick goal looks like it’s FIFA

SON.

Dean Mouhtaropoulos

A big switch, a first time cross off the bounce and a bicycle kick goal off the inside of the post is my go-to move in FIFA. It is apparently also Marseille’s move in real, non-pixelated life with Andre-Pierre Gignac doing the scoring like all he had to do was press O at the right time.

To recap:

1. Hit a big, long switch that actually isn’t so good. It puts your teammate in a tough spot where he can only have one touch because the pass would otherwise go out of touch.

2. With no other choice, hit a cross off the bounce like simply connecting with the ball wouldn’t give the average person a hernia and actually doing it gracefully.

3. Turn, flip your body upside down and perfectly time your swinging leg so you catch the ball clean and drive it off the post and in.

Yep, just another Tuesday at Olympique Marseille.

Iran thought they had advanced to the 2026 FIFA World Cup knockout round. A less frequent aspect of the offside law disallowed the winning goal.
