VIDEO: New poll reveals Europe’s best free kick taker and it’s not exactly who you’d expect

Who’s better: Ronaldo or Messi? Or Zlatko Junuzovic?

When it comes to a set piece, there’s only one winner. And he doesn’t play in La Liga.

Werder Bremen’s free kick starlet tops the European table of dead ball masters, scoring almost a quarter of his free kicks this season alone.

The Austrian is streets ahead of the rest of his competitors with not even a space in the top 20 for either Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi or Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Junuzovic already bagged the free kick of the season against Paderborn a few months back with this special effort below and his antics are becoming so prevalent that he’s about to have his own sub channel on the Bundesliga YouTube page.
