Sign Up Now By ROBERT SUMMERSCALES Published:02:47 BST, 23 June 2025 |Updated:02:57 BST, 23 June 2025 Claudio Echeverri scored the first goal of his Manchester City career on Sunday night by nailing a brilliant free-kick against Al Ain. The 19-year-old — making only his third appearance for City following a £12.5million move from River Plate in January 2024 — found the net in the 27th minute when he aimed a dipping effort over a five-man defensive wall from 21 yards. Al Ain's keeper was unmoved and fans on social media were quick to hail an outstanding strike. 'What a player we’ve signed,' exclaimed one excited City supporter. Another called it an 'insane free-kick', while a third fan declared: 'Claudio Echeverri has arrived'. Meanwhile, multiple fans on X (formerly Twitter) compared Echeverri's maiden City goal to an iconic free-kick scored by France legend Zinedine Zidane against England at Euro 2004. 27' GOLAZOOOOO @ManCity ECHEVERRI scores his FIRST for Man City — a stunning free kick masterclass! 🎯⚽ Watch the @FIFACWC | June 14 - July 13 | Every Game | Free | https://t.co/i0K4eUtwwb | #FIFACWC #TakeItToTheWorld #MCIAIN pic.twitter.com/fCQznypYQu— DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) June 23, 2025 Teenager Claudio Echeverri scored the first goal of his Man City career on Sunday night Echeverri found the net with a brilliant free-kick over a five-man wall of Al Ain defenders Many fans compared the goal to a famous free-kick scored by Zinedine Zidane (left) in 2004 Zinedine ZidaneManchester CityClub World Cup Share or comment on this article: 'What a player we've signed': Man City wonderkid's first goal for the club likened to iconic Zinedine Zidane strike Add comment Share what you think No comments have so far been submitted.
