Rayan Cherki enjoyed the best season of his career in 2024-25
If the casual football fan wasn't already familiar with the name Rayan Cherki, they certainly are now.
On Thursday night, videos of his incredible goal during France's 5-4 defeat by Spain in the Uefa Nations League semi-final went viral.
After controlling a bobbling pass and setting himself up in one touch, the 21-year-old rifled a hip-height volley on the swivel past Spanish goalkeeper Unai Simon at full stretch.
You just don't see instinctive goals like that very often, certainly not from a player 15 minutes into his senior international debut.
