We are not yet at the start of the Euro, but we can say without too much fear of making a mistake that we have one of the most beautiful goals of the tournament.
And to see it live, you had to follow this Scotland-Czech Republic on Monday afternoon.
We play the 52nd minute of the match, which is played in Glasgow, and the Czechs are already leading 1-0, thanks to a goal from their center forward Patrik Schick.
Launched against the back of a Scottish team pushing to try to equalize, the Bayer Leverkusen striker sees British goalkeeper David Marshall out of his goal.
The player does not hesitate, and immediately attempts a lob from the midfield.
A very beautiful inspiration, which ends in the goal of Marshall, far too advanced at the time, and which allows the Czechs to make the break.
The whole thing in front of a Scottish public, whose selection plays its first Europ since 1996, cooled by the superb goal of Patrik Schick.

According to Opta, Patrik Schick's shot traveled 45.5 meters before crossing the line and allowing its author to score a double. The most distant goal since at least Euro 1980, the first measured by the statistician. Historic, and superb.
