free kick Andrea Pirlo
The Italian magician

Italian veteran Andrea Pirlo is the fine wine of football; he just keeps getting better and better with age. The much loved Juventus regista is a true visionary of the sport and that sentiment certainly shines through whenever he takes a set-piece.

Pirlo has converted almost 50 free-kicks during his illustrious career, including an unstoppable effort against Olympiacos earlier this season to mark his 100th Champions League appearance, as well as providing plenty of assists too.

What makes the Italian maestro stand out above the rest is the fact he has a full bag of tricks to call upon. Whether it be a curler, blaster or cheeky drill under the wall, opposing goalkeepers will always be scared.

Andrea Pirlo: a true genius with the ball.
