This 35-yard David Luiz free kick broke the goalkeeper’s ankles

This doesn’t even deflect!

So on first look you assume that took a deflection, right? It’s not on a path usually taken by free kicks and the goalkeeper couldn’t have been even more confused. But then they show the second angle and it doesn’t deflect at all! It goes straight through!

I’m not sure if this had more to do with David Luiz being magic or Lens goalkeeper Rudy Riou having no idea what he was doing, but this goal is amazing.
