Joselu
This is the best moment you’ll see all season. Joselu scoring this goal on his return to Real Madrid? Yes, that Joselu. Stupendous.
Mbappe? No, Real Madrid have Joselu! fantastic goal😱pic.twitter.com/0tm2MtT1fh

Jude Bellingham
Opening his Real Madrid account in style by taking advantage of Andre Onana being in no man’s land. Pure chef’s kiss.

Luka Romero
Sit up and take notice of this kid. AC Milan have a diamond on their hands.

Mykhailo Mudryk
Alright, it’s only a friendly, but that’s a hell of a way to score your first goal for Chelsea. We can’t wait to see more of Mauricio Pochettino’s side if this is what they’re cooking up.

Harry Wilson
There was also a lovely angle of this stunning strike from the ref’s body cam. The future has arrived.
Simply stunning from @harrywilson_ 🪄

Rodri
The treble-winner is starting as he means to go on after returning from his summer jollies.
Which goal does this remind you of? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/Jwfy7RLMtj

Donny van de Beek
Remember him? We’d be surprised if Van de Beek has much of a role to play at Old Trafford this season, but this was lovely.
ياهي تمريرة وياهو جوووول! 🔥

Antoni Sarcevic
We’ve included goals from some of the biggest superstars in football here, but none of them are as good as this from Stockport County’s Antoni Sarcevic. Simply outrageous.
Has goal of the season just been wrapped up in July? 🤯
Antoni Sarcevic, that is 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗼𝘂𝘀! 😍#StockportCounty pic.twitter.com/H1xIItM7mF

Gabriel Jesus
Arsenal gave MLS All-Stars something of a pasting, and Gabriel Jesus set the tone early doors with this sensational looping effort.
No stopping that one from @gabrieljesus9.#MLSAllStar Game pres. by @Target pic.twitter.com/pA80fk2ufT

Luis Diaz
Unlike some of their Premier League rivals, Liverpool have took part in some relatively low-key friendlies against lower-league German clubs. Jurgen Klopp’s focus seems to be entirely on getting things figured out for his new-look Reds side.
So it was nice of Luis Diaz to remind us what a special player he is.
What a goal from Luis Diaz 🔥 pic.twitter.com/xImn7joMSm
