We’re only four days into Euros 2021, but it’s tough to see anyone topping Patrik Schick for goal of the tournament.
The Czech Republic forward scored a goal you don’t see every day: a shot from midfield. It was the second goal in the Group D match between the Czechs and Scotland at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Schick took a touch inside Scotland’s half and fired the ball from 50 yards out over flailing goalkeeper David Marshall, who was caught well off his line.

The goal was Schick’s second of the game and the 2-0 win was a big one in a group that also features European heavyweights England and Croatia. His first strike came on a brilliant header which curled past the reach of Marshall.
The 25-year-old Schick plays for Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. He came through with Sparta Prague of the Czech Republic before making a move to the Italian Serie A (Sampdoria and Roma). He played on loan with RB Leipzig in Germany before Leverkusen made a move to lock him up on a five-year contract.
Czech Republic boss Jaroslav Silhavy on Patrik Schick’s ridiculous goal:
“We know he’s a genius, he knows how to finish and that’s why he’s there – it was something out of this world. We really haven’t see a goal like that from the middle of the field for a long time.”

The Czechs’ next Group D game comes against Croatia at Hampden Park in Glasgow, before taking on England for their final group game at Wembley Stadium.
