Inter Milan maintained their pursuit of the Serie A title with a hard-fought 2–1 away victory over Hellas Verona, highlighted by a moment of individual brilliance from Piotr Zieliński.
The Polish midfielder opened his 2025–26 league account with what can only be described as one of the finest goals of the season — and, perhaps, one of the most aesthetically pleasing strikes in recent memory.
Watch: Piotr Zieliński incredible volley against Hellas Verona
The moment arrived in the 16th minute when Hakan Çalhanoğlu delivered a precisely weighted, back-spinning corner kick from the left. Zieliński positioned himself on the edge of the 18-yard-box and met the cross with a first-time volley using the inside of his right foot. The replays just make it better and better.

INCREDIBLE from both him and Çalhanoğlu. pic.twitter.com/RnJjBAsJRK— Inter Xtra (@Inter_Xtra) November 2, 2025
Çalhanoğlu’s link-up with Zieliński off the corner is reminiscent of that between David Beckham and Roberto Carlos at Real Madrid, with even the legendary left-back not being capable of keeping the ball from touching the ground before scoring.
