Original Euro master? Cristiano Ronaldo epitomises this style, using it to great effect in the quarter-final shootout against England at Euro 2004.
How is it done? It's all about the run-up. Start from a decent way out but stop about three yards before the ball. Often the effect is to bamboozle the keeper and you are free to ram the ball into the net.
Pause too long though, as Ronaldo did in the 2008 Champions League final, and the keeper will save easily.
