A super goal was born in the Champions League: 5 people were blown away and a record-breaking run of 68 meters! Fans stood up to pay tribute

In the fourth round of the Champions League, Tottenham defeated Copenhagen 4-0 at home. This game gave birth to a super world wave: Tottenham defender Van der Ven started dribbling the ball from the backcourt, ran 67.7 meters and scored. This is the longest running goal record in the Champions League since statistics began! Breaking the 64.9-meter scoring record set by Vinicius a year ago.

In the 64th minute of Tottenham vs. Copenhagen, Van der Ven performed a super running performance:

Tottenham stole the ball in the backcourt, and Van der Ven got the ball in the penalty area. The Dutch defender ran wildly with the ball. Facing the pursuit and interception of five Copenhagen defensive players, he still accelerated in a straight line.

Van der Ven rushed faster and faster, leaving the Copenhagen defender behind. After breaking into the penalty area, Van der Ven shot hard with his left foot and the ball flew into the net!

At 63 minutes and 38 seconds, Van der Ven got the ball in the penalty area and started running towards it; at 63 minutes and 47 seconds, Van der Ven shot hard with his left foot. In just 9 seconds, Van Deven went from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area, as if he was in no one's land.

After Van der Ven scored, the Tottenham team sent congratulations, and the fans cheered and celebrated, standing up to salute! Such a super goal is rare, and you are lucky to witness it live. This is a masterpiece worthy of booking the Puskas Award.

OPTA gave statistics that Van der Ven’s sprint distance with the ball reached 67.7 meters! This is the longest scoring distance with the ball since OPTA began to collect statistics. The previous record holder was Vinicius. In October 2024, in the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Dortmund, Vinicius dribbled the ball 64.9 meters and scored.

Van der Ven’s super run and goal this time is reminiscent of Son Heung-min’s goal. On December 7, 2019, in the match between Tottenham and Burnley, Son Heung-min ran 72.3 meters with the ball and scored, winning the Puskas Award (FIFA Goal of the Year). Van der Ven and Son Heung-min have similar starting points, but Van der Ven sprints in a straight line, while Son Heung-min has some "twists and turns".

The 24-year-old Van der Ven is 1.93 meters tall, but the Dutchman is not a traditional central defender, but a modern defender with both speed and technology. Van der Ven's speed is very amazing. In the 2024-25 season, the fastest sprint speed officially announced by the Premier League, Van der Ven has become the top speed of the Premier League with a maximum speed of 37.12 kilometers/hour (10.31 meters/second), faster than forwards such as Elanga and Mbemo.
