🎥 It is time to watch 12 of the greatest ever first touches | OneFootball

On Monday night, Georgian teen sensation Giorgi Chakvetadze exhibited one of the best first touches we’ve seen in a while when he did this against Kazakhstan …

It got us thinking about some of our favourite touches of all-time, and here is a very tasty selection for your viewing pleasure.

Dimitar Berbatov

It’s no exaggeration to say Berbatov had one of the sweetest first touches of all-time but this one during his stint at Fulham was erotic, even by his standards.

Ricardo Quaresma

Quaresma’s name has become synonymous with unfulfilled potential in football but this touch is a reminder of just what he’s capable of.

Neymar

But sorry Ricardo, Neymar did it first, and Neymar did it better.

Ronaldinho

We could have chosen several examples of the buck-toothed Brazilian treating a ball dropping out of the sky like a new born baby falling from a burning building but this is our favourite.

Antonio Cassano

Given the trouble he caused pretty much everywhere he went, it was often hard to understand why the bad boy of Italian football got so many chances. This is why.

Bernardo Silva

The most recent example on this list comes from the man his Manchester City team-mates call Bubblegum.

Wilfried Bony

But Silva has nothing on former City player Bony.

Lionel Messi

Of course, there’s been a multitude of mind-blowing Messi touches over the years but we have a soft spot for this one.

Mesut Özil

Back when Özil was still a Real Madrid player, you might remember him doing this against Barcelona.

Roberto Baggio

Pure. Genius.

Zinedine Zidane

Obviously Zidane’s name had to be on this list and obviously it had to be this touch.

Dennis Bergkamp

The undisputed King of Control. It was impossible to just pick one Bergkamp first touch, so here’s absolutely loads of them.

Immortal technique.
