VIDEO: Five Great Volleys (Including Dimitar Berbatov's Goal Against Liverpool)
Is there a greater skill in isolation than a volley? The ability to meet a spinning ball in mid-air and control its direction and trajectory with a perfectly-timed swish of a boot is something most of us can only dream of.
Even the best in the world don't take it for granted, and a truly great volleyed goal remains a rare and beautiful thing.
But every once in a while a player of exceptional talent produces a moment of such breathtaking brilliance you just want to watch it over and over again.
Inspired by Dimitar Berbatov's stunner for Manchester United against Liverpool, here are five volleys you can't help but get excited about,

No. 2: Marco Van Basten For Holland Against USSR

No. 3: Zinedine Zidane For Real Madrid Against Bayer Leverkusen

No. 4: David Bentley For Tottenham Against Arsenal
