Scott McTominay's incredible bicycle kick against Denmark has broken the record for the highest bicycle kick in football history, reaching an astonishing 2.53 meters! This beats Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 2018 kick against Juventus, which measured 2.38 meters, and Paul Onuachu's recent effort, which reached 2.41 meters.
This goal wasn't just a record-breaker; it also secured Scotland's spot in the 2026 World Cup, their first appearance since 1998. McTominay's impressive leap and technique have drawn comparisons to basketball legend Michael Jordan, and his manager, Steve Clarke, called it the "best overhead kick" he's ever seen.
The Scottish midfielder is having a dream season with Napoli, and this goal cements his status as one of the most athletic players on the international stage.
