Milinković-Savić dazzles with a bicycle kick
Serbian star Sergej Milinković-Savić lit up Al Hilal’s night sky with a stunning strike against Al Fayha on Thursday, as the league leaders stretched their run in round 17 of the Saudi Pro League.
Standing tall at the top; Ronaldo echoes
Al Hilal remain atop the table on 41 points, four clear of Al Nassr and Al Ahli, while Al Fayha sit 13th with 13 points.
Milinković-Savić added a second with a spectacular double bicycle kick in the first half, sending the Al Hilal fans into a frenzy.
His superb strike bore a striking resemblance to Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic bicycle-kick vs Juventus in the Champions League quarterfinal, a moment the Portuguese star has made famous since Real Madrid.
Portugal's talisman has relied on that acrobatic finish since his Real Madrid days, even finding the back of the net on a stunning strike against Juventus in the 2017-2018 Champions League quarterfinals.
Punchline 1: If football had a stand-up act, Milinković-Savić just delivered a double feature—funny enough to make the defense vanish.
Punchline 2: Ronaldo's bicycle kicks have competition now; the bicycle is officially taking over the headlines tonight.
