For me, Diego Maradona, against England in 1986 in the quarter-finals. In this game, Diego Maradona, in addition to scoring the famous The Hand of God, also scored the formidable Goal of the Century. All in the same game.

If there's one thing that enchants, it's artistic gymnastics. And Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci, at the age of 14, got the first “perfect 10” in Olympic history in artistic gymnastics, that was incredible!

During the 2022 World Cup, I saw one of the most brilliant performances in history. Mbappe played a magnificent game throughout the match, and even though he didn't win, his performance was historic for the entire world of football. He almost won the World Cup for France on his own merit. This was one of the most remarkable games of the 2022 World Cup.

People always remember the matches of great attacking stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but forget about the one who represents the “enemy” of the sport, the goalkeeper. Remember that the apex moment of the sport we love, soccer, is the goal and there we have the goalkeepers to inhibit those moments. With that in mind, what Courtois did in the Champions League final against Liverpool is unimaginable, frightening. It was his day and his moment, and I would venture to say that we will NEVER see another performance of that level from a goalkeeper.

Messi dribbles past the entire opposing team and scores a magnificent goal.

From the very beginning of his career, Lionel Messi showed he would be one of the greatest football players of all time, and one of his most remarkable qualities is his effective dribbling. In this video, we see Messi's full potential in action, dribbling past the entire opposing team from midfield and scoring a spectacular goal for Barcelona.

I'm no a fan of Floyd Mayweather, but I can't deny his perfect performance in the Lightweights categories. With the 50 wins and 0 losses in the professional boxing he retired himself undefeated.

He was fast, strong and accurate with his punches and you can see that in this highlight I shared here. And the best part is how was difficult to his opponents make an hit on he! And this can be seen in the minute 4:20 of this video one of my favourite fights he had, the fight against Ortiz!

Usain Bolt set the world alight with his performance at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

Setting both the 100m and 200m World Records and annihilating the existing world records in the process, is my nomination for the greatest sporting performance of all time. From the sporting performance itself, to the charisma and entertainment provided by an athlete at the very pinnacle of his discipline.

Goosebumps.

Like MQC, I nominate Michael Jordan's flu game.

Sure, many have always said that he exaggerated his illness, but regardless of that, you need extraordinary willpower to spend the early hours of that day dealing with vomiting and diarrhea, skip the team warm-ups, and then step onto the court and give it your all in that crucial Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals, putting the Bulls on the brink of their fifth championship.

My pick is Ronaldo, the real Ronaldo, R9, "O fenômeno" against an amazing Alex Ferguson Manchester United Team. Just look at the line-ups of both teams, you just dont see class like this anymore in football. Dare I say it either of these teams would win the Champion's league today no bother. I remember watching this as a kid on free to air ITV (lol even the commentary is soo much better back then), before you had to pay a fortune to watch football and just being blown away by how good Ronaldo was, you could just tell Man U were nervous every time he got near the ball, he was incredible, and this is him after 2 career ending injuries, but no he still showed why he is one of the GOATS and the Old Trafford Crowd gave him a standing ovation when he was subbed off. Incredible stuff. PS the last goal is just magic. Absolutely phenomenal game of football too!

No VAR, No over dramatics, Just quality players playing outstanding football with Passion. The late 90s and early 2000s were just absolute quality!

Michael Jordan

Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals: Chicago Bulls vs. the Utah Jazz

https://www.youtube.com/embed/h5b1bUcFaYw?feature=oembed

This game left one of the sporting moments that have undoubtedly gone down in history; Jordan, who was ill with fever, scored 38 points in a precarious state of health, ending up completely dehydrated and having to be helped by Pippen to be able to return to the bench.

In that game he scored:

  • 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, a block and three turnovers in 44 minutes and 17 seconds on the court, with 13-27 in field goal attempts and 10-12 in free throws.

Those numbers are incredible, beyond the epic of having played sick and the fact that it was the Finals.

Ronaldo’s hat-trick against Spain in the world cup 2018.

As a portuguese, that match was just amazing. In the middle of all that struggle Ronaldo made everything look easy.

Usain Bolt set world records in the 100m (9.69s) and 200m (19.30s) at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and improved these times further at the 2012 London Olympics (9.63s in the 100m and 19.32s in the 200m). His ability to run at unprecedented speeds has made him a global icon.

Impact: Bolt has become the symbol of speed, inspiring millions around the world. His personality and running style have become legendary, and his dominance of these events has defined an era in athletics history.
