Final match of the season. Injury time. Barcelona and Valencia are locked at two goals each. Barcelona need to win to secure qualification in next season's Champions League. Frank de Boer chips a rather hopeful ball towards the penalty box, which finds Rivaldo. What happens next is what many call the best bicycle kick of all time. Talk about big moments.

If that wasn't big enough, it was the goal that completed Rivaldo's hat-trick that day. One of the many iconic moments we associate the Brazilian genius with, and possibly the very best.

To further add to the greatness of the event, it was Valencia themselves who were robbed off a Champions League place. Without the goal, it would've been Valencia who would finish fourth, four points ahead of Barcelona.

It was just the perfect occasion, for a genius to show his calibre, and that's exactly what Rivaldo did.
