Ricardo Rodriguez scores beautiful free kick

Dennis Grombkowski

Wolfsburg were down 4-0 in stoppage time of their Europa League opener against Everton. The match was over and they could have hopped on the plane back to Germany right then and there.

But Ricardo Rodriguez would not have it because he is better than that. He is phenomenal, and he wanted to show off.

So he scored a perfect, bending free kick that left Tim Howard helpless. That’s just what he does, and it shouldn’t be long before he is doing that for a club much bigger than Wolfsburg because he is so, so, so good.

Note: The petition for this goal to count double was dropped because Wolfsburg would have still lost 4-2 so who cares.
