#3 Luka Modric (Real Madrid)
The 2018 Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modric is not only known for his vision, passing, creativity and work rate but also his ability to produce moments of magic out of nothing.
Trending
His long-range curler against Argentina in the 2018 FIFA World Cup for Croatia, his outside-of-the-foot strike against Scotland at Euro 2020, and his volley against Turkey at Euro 2016 are goals that will go down in the history books as some of the best in recent major tournaments.
Luka Modric has scored just 28 times in 392 appearances for Real Madrid and 18 times in 142 games for Croatia. He has, however, scored many memorable long-range and crucial goals for club and country over the years on the biggest of stages.
#2 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)
The regularity with which Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane finds the back of the net from distance is second to none. The England captain is known for having one of the most accurate and powerful shots in the game, and can score from anywhere on the field.
Kane is one of the most prolific goalscorers in the Premier League and across Europe. He is one of the few strikers who possesses the ability to score all types of goals and from anywhere in the attacking third.
Harry Kane has won the Premier League Golden Boot award three times, and won the Golden Boot at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. His ability to score from range is often taken for granted by fans due to the ease with which he can beat goalkeepers.
#1 Lionel Messi (Paris Saint-Germain)
Arguably one of the most gifted players of his generation and the best left-footed players to have ever played the game, Lionel Messi has the ability to score long-range goals and free-kicks that has mesmerised one and all.
The Argentine is one of the best free-kick takers in the game, and often produces moments of magic from range. The 34-year-old is well known for his dribbling ability, vision and creativity, but has also produced some stunning efforts from distance over the years.
His goal against Paris Saint-Germain in the Round of 16 of the Champions League at the Camp Nou last season once again reminded fans and opposition players of the danger Messi can pose from anywhere on the field.
