Memorable moments: a fantastic one-touch combination by Real Madrid, finished with an amazing volley by Van Nistelrooy

Real Madrid has a lot of beautiful goals in its history. However, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s volley after a beautiful one-touch combination will definitely be one of the best.

Everyone likes different types of goals. Some people prefer long-range shots, others like headers, some like one-touch combinations and others like volleyed goals.

Real Madrid once combined the last two options. And he scored one of the best one-touch goals in history.

It was 2007, Los Blancos welcomed Valencia to the Santiago Bernabéu. A duel between two strong teams promised to be an interesting spectacle, and no one knew it would feature such a beautiful goal.

Iker Casillas played the ball in from goal, Salgado then found van Nistelrooy who chested the ball underneath him. Higuaín and Diarra took out two opposing players with one touch.

Higuaín then crossed the ball to Robinho, who headed it down to Gago. He then sent the ball to Torres, whose overhit centre found van Nistelrooy. The Dutch marksman then curled his volley to the far post.

In the second half, former Real striker Fernando Morientes equalised at 1-1, but in the 73rd minute David Beckham found Sergio Ramos to seal the win.

But everyone will remember van Nistelrooy’s volley from that game, which came after 12 passes and a beautiful one-touch combination.
