At 36 years old and with over 700 matches under his belt, Axel Witsel may have just scored the finest goal of his career.

On Saturday, away at FC Barcelona (Matchday 9 of La Liga), the Belgian rock pulled off an acrobatic overhead kick to bring Girona level (1-1, 20'). A shot off the post and in that will go down in the history books.

Witsel’s majestic scissor kick overshadowed Pedri’s individual feat from a few minutes earlier (1-0, 13'). That Barcelona opener is well worth another look too.
