As the 2026 FIFA World Cup rolls on, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to draw attention as a studio analyst for Fox, it's worth revisiting something magnificent.
Zlatan once scored maybe the greatest goal of all time, and he did it while playing for Sweden against England.
No, it wasn't in a World Cup, but it should've been impossible.
England goalkeeper Joe Hart found himself caught out of the penalty box, and Zlatan knew the net was open.

The problem, for any other human, was that Zlatan was facing away from goal and about 30 yards out.
That was apparently not a problem for Zlatan.
He scored from there with the most absurd bicycle kick ever:

Frankly, Zlatan should get to talk in the third person as much as he wants after doing that. He should get to lift himself up in any fashion he wants.
There aren't even other humans audacious enough to try that.
And even if there were, would anyone else actually pull it off?
Zlatan is one of one, in pretty much every way -- including in the best goal many people have ever seen.
