DELE ALLI is heralded as one of England’s great hopes of developing into a world class player.
And in this video, he tries, and succeeds, to recreate THAT goal scored by Ronaldino for Barcelona against Chelsea in the Champions League last 16 back in 2005.
Picking the ball up some 20 yards from goal, the Brazilian maverick shimmied his body from left to right and back again, before toe-poking a pinpoint effort that pinged past Petr Cech in the goal.
The goal shocked the Stamford Bridge crowd, as well as leaving the commentators on the game for TV astounded and in awe.
But John Terry's 75th minute header that night secured a 4-2 home win, and aggregate 5-4 triumph to send the Blues into the last eight.
In conjunction with BT Sports #GoalsRecreated campaign, the Spurs and England talent decided to have a go.
His first two efforts at goal flew over the bar, with the 20-year-old midfielder telling team-mates Kyle Walker, Kevin Wimmer and Harry Winks that he was concentrating too much on the body moves.
But on his third go the ball flies into the net. "I did it in three attempts guys, let's see how many it will take you," he said.

The pressure then switches to Winks, as his challenge is to recreate Alli's wonder-goal of last season against Crystal Palace.
In that 3-1 Premier League win, Alli controlled the ball with his right foot, flicked it over his head before turning and volleying into the goal.
With Walker floating it in, and Wimmer heading it to him, Winks manages to recreate the strike in just his second go.
The players then huddle around Winks, just like they did for Alli at Selhurst Park for the goal that was named Goal of the Season.
