Best Free Kick Takers in Football (Soccer)

In all aspect guy is a guru in free kick taking, even in a tight corner he deliver better result, I can remember the he took against Barcelona in a champions league match is kick was outstanding to an extent it force Victor Valdes to fumble. To me is the greatest in taking free kick.

Juninho is one of the only players to score more than 40 free kicks in his career (Beckham was in the 30s). Not only is that impressive, but some of the spots he managed to score from which were way outside the box! Talk about power and dipping skills! If the question was "who puts the craziest curve on the ball during a free kick", then Beckham rules all day. Juninho was the most EFFECTIVE and his statistics prove that.

There's a huge gap between beckham and juninho, not saying beckham shouldn't be second, but juninho is the best by a long shot.

He is the best by far Ronald o is only 3 because of popularity

He treated his game like an art and he was the artist!

How is Becks not at number 1, he is the best by a country mile. You would pay just to watch a beckham freekick exhibition, his freekicks are footballing artistry.

He is simply the best... Followed by Zico.
He is a one of the most hard working player I've never known despite of all the fame he got outside and inside the field. He never lost his cool - Respect!

Best ever free kick taker. he could just whip it so well!

Cristiano is always number 1... Period... Show me a better free kick than the one against portsmouth a few years back at Old Trafford? - xyz51007

Amazing his still in hi career but his not yet finished!

Beckham and juninho have never shot a free kick from more than 45 yards. But ronaldo has.. Against arsenal. He should be number 1.

He should be 6 and to that who said beckham can t score from 45 yards plus he has multiple times instead of saying random things to watch his freekicks he even scored from 70 yards!

I had seen his one goal that is really impossible

Brazil vs France, Real Madrid the best long range free kicks ever

no one is like roberto carlos in free kicks

He should be ahead of ronaldo he has unreal curve that's even Buffon would struggle on in age 20 to 30 but 30 plus no chance

He is the best there is... The ball always finds the extreme top corner near to the far post... Scored an amazing low shot freekick against werder bremen. Top that and then talk

He keeps it simple but strategist and he has the cool needed to maintain while a kick. - monk-e

Here's the facts: Beckham may have a little more skill than Ronaldinho. But he can't curl a ball into a goal like Ronaldinho can. Ronnie can do it from anywhere on the pitch. He scored an amazing, amazing, amazing goal against England in the '02 World Cup. He was at least 35-40 meters from the goal. Beckham always takes them from about 25-30 meters, and if it's anymore than that, Madrid will get Roberto Carlos to power-shot one into the goal. Also in the year that Barcelona won the champions League (last season-05/06), Ronnie and Barca played against the Italian team Udinese. Ronaldinho scored a hat trick... From 3 DIRECT FREE KICKS. If you don't believe me, check the statistics yourself.

Pirlo can use both the inside and outside of his foot for free kicks and his consistency is second only to Juninho.

He was my favorite midfielder and in fifa 11 he was supposed to be a good free kick taker and I agree to it. In 2010, he scored at a distance of 35 m and for the keeper it is full stretch.

He is the best player in all the world and has a super super free kick and powerful shot and very accurate

Pirlo is SICK at free kicks!

Del Piero scored the most free kicks in the history of Serie A and the European Champions League! He is the best of all this list, Hands down.
One more thing you have to bear in mind is that Del Piero scored in the Italian League (Serie A) which has the best defenses and most experienced goal keepers (compared to the French League or any League in that matter! )

he scored so many goals from freekicks that he's probably the best takers... or at least in my opinion

The greatest player ever! His good attitude, personality, professional player..
His goals against Real Madrid in the European Champions League 2008/2009. He is the Legend of Football, the Legend of Juventus who all the Juventini proud of!
Del Piero >> The greatest player!

Simply the most artistic free kicks :) Just like a painter! Pinturichio

Messi is a really good free kick taker if he shoots almost every time he scores he shoots in top or low corners that's the key of free kicks

Does anyone remember the free kick where he put it under the wall... Cheeky and pure genius... Messi is by far the best player as well as the best free kick taker

Lionel Andries Messi is the Greatest player of all the time, and now he is becoming the best free kick taker, he can curl the ball and whatever he want he can do, magician is small world for him, He is complete Genius.

Messi's Free kick is Awesome...

The most controlled free-kick taker I ever saw! - Wizteddy13

He's the only guy that just uses sheer power to cannon the ball in. Just look at his free-kick against Newcastle United

Does nothing fancy but still achieves the best result... Some people A.K. A Ronaldo try to do too much and their free kicks end up in the crowd! - kameel

The best ever!

A Galatasaray Legend like Hagi.

Yeo
Because he plays for the best team in the (REAL MADRID) he has scored 4 goalz this year and 3 were on a free kick
Ps. Madrid are gonna smash roma in the champions league

Best and talented free kick taker

He has an amazing speed, curve and power in his kicks plus I think he has the best left foot in the premier league. He is awesome.

Killer left foot with with class, he lost it because of injuries but still videos are evidence, and still he can come back to same level..

Powerful left foot. He takes it so well.

He has a superb left foot
