Many of Romarios goals from the 1993/1994 season with Barcelona. Edited by spanish TVE Thanks to whoever capped the actual footage! I do not take credit for anything regarding this video.
Romario, Ronaldo, Zidane. Perhaps the three greatest footballers in the past 20 years. Your wonderful goalscoring record and virtuoso performance at the '94 World Cup will always be remembered. Brazil may have won three straight World Cups if you hadn't been hurt on the eve of the '98 Tournament. Viva, Romario!
When Romario was the best player in the world, he choosed to play in Brazil league again, just because he misses a lot his city an his country. He did the things that a normal guy did not do. Because of that he is a king in Brazil. Here, nobody argues about who's was the better, Ronaldo or Romário. The little one wins! He gaves us a world cup again after 24 years later. He scored more than 1000 goals!
I love how he almost never bothered tring to curl the ball. Not like Van Persie and his ilk, getting a protractor out, working out the angles and trying to put sufficient spin on the ball so that he could score a 'beautiful' goal. Romario's finishing was surefire.
Romario. Baggio. Batistuta. Weah. All fantastic with very special gifts. Baggio was really an attacking midfielder or a withdrawn striker. Passing to demolish defenses. Romario, the purest striker inside the box. Weah a true #9, big strong, and could head a ball like a king. Bati-gol....well a foot like a cannon and a nose for goal from distance. Some of my favorite players of mid 90s. Barcelona, Juventus, Fiorentina, and Milan...that's when football still had artistry and not just raw running.
When it comes to finishing, very few come even close to Romario. I would even state that in modern times, no striker can match his deadly finishing. Van Nistelrooy would be the only one who could give Romario a run for his money.
Romario was better than Ronaldo. And i can say this. I'm Brazilian, we love both players. But 90% here consider Romário better than Ronaldo. LEGEND. The best strike ever. All skills, goals with the right foot, left, with the head, technique, tricks.. Legend!
nice video bro!! love it the sound of the fans.. Romario is god.. im very happy because he came from my club here in Brazil.. amazing player.. thanks for sharing..
@KaleMasta No way man. Messi may have equal tecnique to finish but Romario had an inhuman cold-blood merciless spirit. The coldness that some of the best players ever had on the midfield Romario had inside of the goalarea. Every great player have already chickened in front of the keeper at least once. Except Romario.
Romário é violino. Ronaldo é bateria. Ronaldinho é cavaquinho. Messi é piano. Neymar é guitarra. È que cada pessoa tem o seu instrumento predileto que mais soa melhor aos ouvidos. Eu gosto do Romario, porque ele é o futebol total. tridimensional, jogadas que você não acredita serem possiveis, e realizadas com tanta classe e tanta energia em sua finalização.
I have no hesitation in callin romario the greatest finisher of all time. However Ronaldo was better. Two world player of the years by 21. Very gifted in the dribble. Two great great players. These genius finishes by Romario were truly great, thank you for the video.
I know Ronaldo did more as a striker but I just like Romario that bit more. Sometimes Torres or Eto'o score a goal that reminds me of Romario but nothing compares to the original. I wonder what it would have been like if Romario was around in the 1982 Brazil team then I realise that he would have been sent home for fighting with Zico.
Realmente.....disse que ia fazer 30 gols no campeonato e fez.......o melhor atacante de todos os tempos.......um gênio.....craque!!!....🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
@leapunk Si, es verdad, tiene un físico parecido y algunos de sus movimientos hacen recordar al genio de Romario, claro que Agüero quizá nunca llegue a ser un Romario (en todo caso el tiempo lo dirá), pero es un gran futbolista el argentino. Viendo este video refresco la memoria y claro, Romario, el chapulin era un genio dentro del area.
Actually Im 24, and Ronaldo is the best striker Ive seen in my life. Romario is inmediattely after him in the second position. Romario did many and beautiful goals, but Ronaldo made the important ones showing he's the most complete striker.
Always loved Romario but Ronaldo for me was better. Left foot ,right shot outside the box , poach inside the box ,speed, strength. Ronaldo had everything. Romario was beautiful to watch
@kaqio I agree with you in the fact that defensively the midfield can be strengthened by using two but I would use the 4-5-1 formation vs the best countries and adopt it as my system because that extra man in the midfield can make the difference by repelling total domination in the middle by applying extra pressure. with di maria as my winger and tevez as my other winger as he played for man u with messi playing lone striker. i wud play zanetti with cambiasso, they kno each other well from italy
@omarfrancis the 1982 Brazil team was missing their best forward (Careca) due to injury before the tournament in any case - so they already were meant to be better than they were even without Romario ;)
when messi wins 3 world cups we can talk about the greatest player ever. messi will never reach pele and when he puts on that argentina jersey hes nothing like what he is in barcelona. the reason he is so good at barca is because he has the players around him to make him that good.
@JWD1012 Pele also scored over 1200 goals. he had 94 caps for brazil and scored 77 times. messi's stats are not even close to maradona and people want to talk about hes the best player in the history of football...?
@LUVFAMILIA Defensively I would also add Coloccini, how is he not there? the midfield would be Cambiasso,Zanetti,Gago,DiMaria,Tevez. Messi would play lone striker but in a roaming role in which he could switch with tevez and di maria often. Eventhough Barca dominates games many managers including Wenger have said that Messi is not "always in the game". He just needs that one chance and I think DiMaria beside Ozil and David Silva is the best passer in the world and Tevez can also supply
I presume your talking about Tevez? Tevez for the national side is as dangerous as it gets. He is lethal from outside the box and inside it as well. He unlike Aguero can shoot from range and is better at positioning himself and in the air.
@kaqio I wish they could but its not possible when you have people like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Xavi Hernandez and Wesley Sneijder who are veterans to deal with. Teams national levels change from generation to generation unlike the club level which is more stable due to mobility. Argentina of today cannot compete in the midfield, neither can Brazil for that matter. Brazil had focused on being physical in the middle but the game has changed and speed and posession have become the new thing
Just because Tevez refused to play for Mancini vs Bayern doesn't make him lack potency especially as a winger which he played as at United. The 4-3-3 formation would be best for argentina with Messi as target man similar to van persie for arsenal with tevez and di maria acting as his supply route either for the assist or the means of drawing defenders away. cambiasso and zanetti in midfield and sabella with strong defensive quality. this team would be strong defensively and killer on the counter
@brazilrules11 Would probably be a valid argument if Pele hadn't played in some of the best international sides of all time, surrounded by brilliant and legendary players.
@JWD1012 If people want to compare messi to ronaldo,zidane and a player like romario then please do because thats the level he is in. But then again ronaldo won 2 wc and both zidane and romario won 1 as well...
@kaqio The world cup argument isn't legitimate. If you think about it the national level has no mobility, you are stuck with certain players unlike at the club level which is more competitve and more objective for judging player. This generation of Argentines has no midfielders, they are all aging, Zanetti is 38, Cambiasso(31) and Riquelme retired, the midfield is weak. Argentina has the best strikers in the world led by Messi, Tevez,Milito,Aguero,Higuain,Maxi Rodriguez... The chain is broken.
@brazilrules11 They play in different generations and now people do football for a living and not just a side hobby when they are not working their real job as it was back in the day. Many of Pele's game's were not even televised. Today people watch you and analyze your weaknesses, players are built for certain positions, dieting is better and so physique is tuned. Cont
@LUVFAMILIA true about club level are more competitve then national level..but the fact is World Cup is the Ultimate Football tournament..conquer the World Cup will makes Messi the best of the best..two years from now Sabella n Messi must found the broken chain..
Messi needs to win the world cup to suprass Romário and Ronaldo! When he get it, he will be the best of all time.... But to win a world cup is not a easy step.
Also reading it, I would play a 4-1-3-2 with Messi, and Higuain And/or Aguero, a player like pasture etc, Lavezzi and Di Maria. idk though, I don't watch much Argentina.
@LUVFAMILIA yeah,Football change in every generation...tecniq and skill replace by speed n power..posession in first priority..but thats evolution they must face...Argentina have a lot of attacking midfield,but i think they have to secure the Defensive midfield role,,the one who can protec Messi's move.. i prefer 4-4-2 with 2 DM and 2 winger,,so Messi can focus in front with his partner..just my opinion..btw great view by you (y)
But what about his general play? He never passes and always runs around like a headless chicken. Aguero and Messi are the only good thing i've seen from Argentina over the past year. They play for each other, whereas Tevez plays for nobody other than himself.
¿Ronaldo? Ronaldo apenas tuvo 2 años de brillo en los 90 ¿Van Basten? Van basten apenas brilló a principios de los 90. En dado caso sería con el permiso de Gabriel Omar Batistuta o de Roberto Baggio. De igual manera, Grande O Baixinho.
@peboguxX Oh yes, there is one who can. In the all-time top 100 of most beautiful goals he would appear 20 times and according to Ronaldo this is still the best player he ever got the chance to play with in the same team: watch?v=3yv4BUoHp1w
WITHOUT ANY DOUBT, THE BEST STRIKER BRAZIL HAD FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS, MAYBE THE BEST EVER. THERE WAS NO ONE LIKE ROMARIO
Old Firm Importados I would argue that Ronaldo was better than Romario. But both are fantastic players and among the best strikers ever for Brazil
It is almost funny to see how much better he was then his opponents, amazing! A true legend.
Romario was the best striker of the history. Was Magic, Was genius, was ilusionist, was sensible touch, was supreme.
Romario, Ronaldo, Zidane. Perhaps the three greatest footballers in the past 20 years.
Your wonderful goalscoring record and virtuoso performance at the '94 World Cup will always be remembered. Brazil may have won three straight World Cups if you hadn't been hurt on the eve of the '98 Tournament.
Viva, Romario!
Ellegant, classy and efficient.
Never more than 3 contacts with the ball.
We could only enjoy Romario for 1 year. But it was a GLORIOUS year, will never forget that
Laudrup was an awesonme player as well. Lethal combination with Romario.
When Romario was the best player in the world, he choosed to play in Brazil league again, just because he misses a lot his city an his country. He did the things that a normal guy did not do. Because of that he is a king in Brazil. Here, nobody argues about who's was the better, Ronaldo or Romário. The little one wins!
He gaves us a world cup again after 24 years later.
He scored more than 1000 goals!
Another amazing thing about Romario was that very rarely he would be caught in offside position.
If only modern day football was like this, and the players played the game like him!! Happy memories
I love how he almost never bothered tring to curl the ball. Not like Van Persie and his ilk, getting a protractor out, working out the angles and trying to put sufficient spin on the ball so that he could score a 'beautiful' goal. Romario's finishing was surefire.
The best center foward of all time.
Objective,simple,beautiful strikes.
2 or 3 touch on ball and score.
Ronaldo=marketing.
Romário, one of the greatest attackers of all time, was in idol 2 rival clubs of Rio de Janeiro, Vasco da Gama and Flamengo.
Stunning finisher, probably one of all time best. Thanks for vid here in Scotland
Romario was one of a kind ! A goal machine
Romario. Baggio. Batistuta. Weah. All fantastic with very special gifts. Baggio was really an attacking midfielder or a withdrawn striker. Passing to demolish defenses. Romario, the purest striker inside the box. Weah a true #9, big strong, and could head a ball like a king. Bati-gol....well a foot like a cannon and a nose for goal from distance. Some of my favorite players of mid 90s. Barcelona, Juventus, Fiorentina, and Milan...that's when football still had artistry and not just raw running.
Inside the box? Definetly the best ever.
Amazing player Romario was!
what a team. romario, stoichov, koeman, laudrup amazing
great player one of the best ever
When it comes to finishing, very few come even close to Romario. I would even state that in modern times, no striker can match his deadly finishing. Van Nistelrooy would be the only one who could give Romario a run for his money.
simplismente genio.........
Romario was better than Ronaldo. And i can say this. I'm Brazilian, we love both players. But 90% here consider Romário better than Ronaldo. LEGEND. The best strike ever. All skills, goals with the right foot, left, with the head, technique, tricks.. Legend!
When romario gets the ball he does something exciting with it, problems is he rarely gets the ball.
Romario is the BEST!
soy de barcelona, tengo 37 años, y es lo mas grande que he visto en un terreno de juego, y no veré jamas nada igual, ROMARIO EL MAS GRANDE!
romario eres mi IDOLO...eres lo mas grande
Pure Genius!
Schmeichel, Alves, Koeman, Maldini, R.Carlos, Iniesta, Xavi, Zidane, Laudrup, Romario, Messi. El once perfecto de los que he visto jugar en directo.
fantastic !!!
Nobody can finish a play like Romario. Nobody.
Romario and laudrup.. insane combo, nobody could touch them
nice video bro!!
love it the sound of the fans..
Romario is god.. im very happy because he came from my club here in Brazil..
amazing player.. thanks for sharing..
o melhor jogador de todos os tempos e continuara sendo por um bom tempo
@KaleMasta No way man. Messi may have equal tecnique to finish but Romario had an inhuman cold-blood merciless spirit. The coldness that some of the best players ever had on the midfield Romario had inside of the goalarea. Every great player have already chickened in front of the keeper at least once. Except Romario.
0:26 OMFG!!! Genius!!!!
Yes!Genius!
It s a pitty that the most people don't know how good he was. But the same you can say about Laudrup.
Romario and Ronlado Greatest Footballers Who Have Ever Lived
Romário é violino.
Ronaldo é bateria.
Ronaldinho é cavaquinho.
Messi é piano.
Neymar é guitarra.
È que cada pessoa tem o seu instrumento predileto que mais soa melhor aos ouvidos.
Eu gosto do Romario, porque ele é o futebol total. tridimensional, jogadas que você não acredita serem possiveis, e realizadas com tanta classe e tanta energia em sua finalização.
my god look at the pitch at 2:37 my how far football has come since the 90's even.
My fav strikers:
Romario, Van-Basten, Ronaldo (from Brazil)
Romario TOP 5 Striker EVER!
So small, but:
So quick, accurate, you cannot take the ball of his leg, slice through the defense. Goal keeper starts to pray.
I have no hesitation in callin romario the greatest finisher of all time. However Ronaldo was better. Two world player of the years by 21. Very gifted in the dribble. Two great great players. These genius finishes by Romario were truly great, thank you for the video.

Uns dels millors jugadors de la historia... Com disfrutabem als cules amb aquet jugador... Increible Romario!!
I was at the game where he scored its 1000 goal, I have the tee with the 1000 on the back they gave when he scored
THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT ROMARIO!
If you wanna talk about a possible Argentina Team, go to a forum!
un genio!!!
@leapunk Si, es verdad, tiene un físico parecido y algunos de sus movimientos hacen recordar al genio de Romario, claro que Agüero quizá nunca llegue a ser un Romario (en todo caso el tiempo lo dirá), pero es un gran futbolista el argentino.

Playing Tevez with Messi would be the worst possible option. Messi and Aguero together are the only bright spark that Argentina has at the moment.
this video is better than his 1 million plus top 20 countdownn
0:47 gol de romario, tiro potente de derecha
Always loved Romario but Ronaldo for me was better. Left foot ,right shot outside the box , poach inside the box ,speed, strength. Ronaldo had everything. Romario was beautiful to watch

O MELHOR!
Es uno de los mejores delanteros de Brasil y para mi esel mejor
@omarfrancis the 1982 Brazil team was missing their best forward (Careca) due to injury before the tournament in any case - so they already were meant to be better than they were even without Romario ;)
maestro
1:37
Esse zagueiro tá procurando o romário até hoje.
El Mejor
WHY DIDN'T HE STAY AT BARCA LONGER???????? =(
Na minha opinião, melhor que o pelé e não aceito outra opinião e fez muito mais gols, saudade desse gênio.
when messi wins 3 world cups we can talk about the greatest player ever. messi will never reach pele and when he puts on that argentina jersey hes nothing like what he is in barcelona. the reason he is so good at barca is because he has the players around him to make him that good.

three best players ever for me maradona+zidane+romario :))

Messi would play lone striker but in a roaming role in which he could switch with tevez and di maria often.

He just needs that one chance and I think DiMaria beside Ozil and David Silva is the best passer in the world and Tevez can also supply
El Argentino Sergio Aguero del Atletico Madrid es muy parecido en su juego y su fisico al gran Romario.
O rei romario
I presume your talking about Tevez? Tevez for the national side is as dangerous as it gets. He is lethal from outside the box and inside it as well. He unlike Aguero can shoot from range and is better at positioning himself and in the air.
DENTRO DA GRANDE AREA NAO EXISTIU OU EXISTE ALGUEM COMO ESSE BAIXINHO AI.
he did 1000 holas, is counted, by videos, all is achieved!
ele coloca a simplicidade do chute ao gol na terra onde os golaços são os chutes de fora da área.
e faz história.

I think you forget about the best striker of all times, RONALDO.
uh people, how about gerd muller, that man scored goals for fun and scored way more than romario. at club and international level.
Messi reminds me of him
@brazilrules11 They play in different generations and now people do football for a living and not just a side hobby when they are not working their real job as it was back in the day. Many of Pele's game's were not even televised. Today people watch you and analyze your weaknesses, players are built for certain positions, dieting is better and so physique is tuned. Cont
haha, can anyone tell me why he shoots from where he is shooting at 0.25 . it is so funny. awesome man.
Romario was amazing but Michael Laudrup almost outshines him with his no look passing in this vid.
do you think Leandro Damiao can become nearly as good as Romario? L.Damiao is deadly around the box just like Romario was.
@LUVFAMILIA true about club level are more competitve then national level..but the fact is World Cup is the Ultimate Football tournament..conquer the World Cup will makes Messi the best of the best..two years from now Sabella n Messi must found the broken chain..
the maradona of the area
Messi needs to win the world cup to suprass Romário and Ronaldo! When he get it, he will be the best of all time.... But to win a world cup is not a easy step.
What kind of pitch is 02:28? Not even good enough for fourth division!
and the music?
its like playing PES on eazy
Also reading it, I would play a 4-1-3-2 with Messi, and Higuain And/or Aguero, a player like pasture etc, Lavezzi and Di Maria. idk though, I don't watch much Argentina.

when messi wins the world cup, we will talk about his legend status.
he clearly has gerd muller blood in him
¿Ronaldo? Ronaldo apenas tuvo 2 años de brillo en los 90 ¿Van Basten? Van basten apenas brilló a principios de los 90. En dado caso sería con el permiso de Gabriel Omar Batistuta o de Roberto Baggio.
