In the realm of football, where individual brilliance often takes center stage, the debate over the greatest bicycle kick goals in history has long captivated fans and pundits alike. With Alejandro Garnacho striking a stunning bicycle kick against Everton, the conversation has once again reignited, with renowned broadcaster Piers Morgan entering the fray to share his thoughts.
Last Sunday, Manchester United took a visit off to the Goodison Park to face the blue side of the Merseyside, Everton. In that game, with already a hostile atmosphere, Everton being deducted 10 points in the Premier League for breaching financial rules, Garnacho took the spotlight from that match.
With the game having just started Everton was looking to get a strong start to build that atmosphere further on. But instead in the 136th second of the game, the headlines were taken away from the Toffees, as the Argentine kid had just struck a massive contender for the Goal of the Season.
Having struck such a beautiful bicycle kick, several pundits as well as several current and former players, thought to congratulate Garnacho upon such a beautiful strike. Within these comments, one tweet blew everybody’s mind, being a tweet from an iconic British broadcaster, Piers Morgan.
How did Piers Morgan congratulate Alejandro Garnacho
Piers Morgan has been in the limelight since his interview with Cristiano Ronaldo which took place a year ago. Since that interview, he has shown why and how much he loves the Portuguese brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo. Praising Ronaldo’s every match, every action, and every goal.
Morgan congratulated the 19-year-old for his moment of brilliance but refused to name it as the best bicycle kick in history. Piers Morgan went on to tweet, “Congrats to @agarnacho7 on scoring the 2nd best bicycle kick goal in history.”

Morgan’s comments have sparked a lively discussion among football enthusiasts, with opinions divided on whether Garnacho’s goal deserves to be ranked higher. Some argue that Garnacho’s goal, while impressive, falls short of Ronaldo’s masterpiece in terms of sheer audacity, technical brilliance, and the overall impact on the game.
The bicycle kick that Ronaldo scored against Juventus is proof that he is an extraordinary athlete with outstanding aerobic skills and a rare knack for producing magical moments by himself. This was achieved using a mixture of authority, dexterity, and grace that left even fans and pundits flabbergasted and solidified its position in the archive of footballing memories.
Although Garnacho’s goal may fall short of those lofty Ronaldo heights, it’s an important milestone on the young winger’s career pathway. The goal was a showcase of the technical, courage, and individual brilliance he has in him with prospects on what is yet in store for the Argentinian prodigy.
