Some goals are a love poem to the beautiful game. This prime example of such an ode was composed in March 1998 when Fiorentina hosted SSC Napoli. Gabriel Batistuta flicks on a pass, before spinning around to receive a crafty backheel return pass and burying the ball in the net with his weaker left foot. Poetry in motion.
