This performance left me with exactly one question — why the feck did he retire?
Uwe Seeler's farewell game saw him play against one of the toughest teams ever assembled (and it has to be one of the most entertaining non-competitive games that I've ever seen):
Banks, Schnellinger, Moore, Beckenbauer, Gemmell, Rivera, Charlton, Bene, Best, Müller & Hurst in the 1st time and
Maier, Moore, Mészöly, Höttges, Gemmel, Rivera, Charlton, Bene, Best, Eusébio & Džajić
He scored a brace, hit the post and forced multiple world-class saves from Banks and Maier, running up and down the pitch like he was 25. What a player!

Some of his touches in the second half
Funnily enough, George Best will officially retire a couple of weeks after this game, aged just 26 (not for long though). Probably after seeing how fancy Seeler's send off turned out to be
same old, same old....
Damn. Insane performance. That's not how I remember Keano. It's better than that Juve's game.
You dont often see Redondo struggling! Its a fun watch this late 90s el clasicos, on one side you have Madrid with better players while on other Barca that is much better trained(think LVG was the coach at the time).
It's Redondo! Also, the picture is presenting, well, a manufactured reality so to speak.

Holy shit!!
You're a glorious man Iso!Haven't even watched Joga's video yet but that's how I remember it as an Irish Utd supporter - Turin was an awesome demonstration of Keane bending matches to his will, but he's had better performances.
It wasn't that uncommon around the late 1990s. That was when I first started watching La Liga regularly and there seemed to be somewhat of a disconnect between the reputations and the performances of Redondo and Seedorf. To be fair to Redondo he earned his reputation with his brilliance throughout the decade and it's perhaps only later on when he became less comfortable with the types of threats posed by that Barcelona side.
I really undervalued Keano so much then. My young ignorance mind is my excuse when watching him before.
This is pretty much the ultimate George Best' compilation — the only things that got omitted were his defensive contribution & general passing.
He has the workrate and playmaking of Nedved, trickery of Ronaldinho, and bravery of CRonaldo.
Wasn't overly influential as he played as a roaming second striker but scores a couple of beauties.
Would say same as always but he was actually/finally good in the final third, lovely assist for Raul. It actually amazes me how consistent he can be on the other side with his brainfarts....
Knew you'd be a fanoh ffs, screw you joga! Got my hopes up
Great game by Laudrup. Should have gotten a penalty early on and at least an assist or two.
A scrappy and a tightly fought game with Platini having that iconic goal of his being bizarrely disallowed (was on @harms vid on the best disallowed goals too)
I have this game in better quality Have been meaning to do a Platini's comp from it for months now.

Oh
.Had actually been meaning to do a Laudrup comp but saw that the darned footballseventies guy had already done a Laudrup comp of it, so decided to do one on Platini, with highlights from Laudrup.
Scrappy performance but was enough for the Celtic. Had few moments, few fights, lovely assist for the winner but its so sad to watch him in this state
Andy Goram was brilliant, Gough and Petric look a great pair for that level and Charlie Miller looks decent @Gio
Once again, Brian Laudrup pretty meh, where and when was his (club)peak? Looks pretty ordinary for Rangers every time i watch them.

All those Old Firm games followed the same pattern. Celtic have the better of the game, but Goram keeps them out. And then Gazza, Laudrup or McCoist kills them on the break.
He looked heavy and inbetween injuries there. Huffed and puffed a lot, but you can see him drifting deeper into the #6 position to get on the ball and escape the pressure. He's now at that stage where he started to fling his elbows about to compensate for his loss of acceleration. Gorgeous weighted cross for McCoist's winner though.
That was a poor season for Laudrup. He wasn't fit and was in and out the team with injuries. Only scored twice in the league all year and was pretty patchy in Europe too (as you saw in your Gazza comps). He got fit for the Euros in the summer of '96 and his performance against Hearts in the Cup Final a couple of weeks before was probably his best game for us - 3 assists and 2 goals in a 5-2 win. His 94/95 and 96/97 campaigns were much, much better.
He and Stoichkov proved to be the difference here as Barca came back quite emphatically in the second half with Laudrup assisting 2 of Stoichkov's goals.
Not often you can watch Suarez and Eusebio compete in water polo

His class is heir apparent even in such horrid conditions. Plenty of graft to boot too.
Those cheeky back heels and reverse passes though...
best part, nothing beats a combination of a genius and a grafter
Quite surreal watching Keane play against the likes of Irwin, Giggs, Ince and Schmeichel. A classic marauding performance from Keane, although he was a bit rough around the edges with his passing. Nonetheless, glimpses of his hallmark metronomic passing, which he would go on to refine at United, were apparent.
United simply struggled to deal with his dynamism and rampaging runs from midfield at times, whilst defensively Keane was a rock and the only Forest player who looked like he could deal with Giggs, who was on fire that day.

Excellent video and performance
Lovely
. Slowly but surely, a potential rabona maverick only XI takes shape!pure class
Despite being only 19 years old Eusébio was already the main man at Portugal. He hit the post twice with ridiculous long-distance shots and was generally quite impressive, especially considering the circumstances — playing against the mighty England at home in a World Cup qualifier. Some nice dribbling as well.
If you ever wanted to see Suarez playing like Fred, this is your chance! Awful game from him(yet still better then fecking Kubala
) but then puts his side into the final with an assist in the injury time...football bloody hell.
