That goal against Newcastle is one of the greatest goals ever scored. His awareness of where the defender is and the technique and ability to control the ball and touch it round him was just pure magic.
He was selfless and could have scored more goals but realised his age and what henry could do. If you look at Henry's interviews he always thanks Dennis.
As a Man Utd fan, I must say Dennis Bergkamp was a football genius and I always consider him among my favorite, great skills and very intelligent player. Great players always scored great goals in great fixtures. He not only scored these beauties in the premier league but also scored one of the greatest goal in World Cup history during France 1998 against Argentina.
Makai Cunningham ronaldinho has street style football and quick feet while bergkamp has precise movement. I would think bergkamp is more elegant out of the two.

His first touch and ball control is second to none. The none flying Dutch was a master of his craft. His goal against Argentina in 98 was a thing of beauty too.
There are some players that you watch where you cannot help but get emotional when you admire their skill, Dennis Bergkamp is one of those....just pure class.
1:56 i still don't understand how he could control the ball like that, it feels like he was above the rules of physics in that moment. Amazing, amazing Goal!
The mind is always ahead of the feet mate . The ability to out think a defender needs quality, and the immaculate technique on top of that is the cherry on the cake .
Best player to ever wear the Arsenal shirt,had the pleasure of seeing him play live on many many occasions,met him several times what a humble man always had time for fans
I think he had the greatest influence on English football, more than any other single player. He set a standard that was on a totally higher level. Higher than those of 2018. English football as a whole just stood and looked and felt like uncommitted amateurs. He revolutionised English football.
I m a die hard gooner.and cut me and I bleed Sir Dennis,who just happens to also be my fave player of all time.. but this remark is a tad biased!! Cantona.henri..and a list of others who equally left their indelible Mark on our game! And thats not including home grown talent that I left out!u see my point?❤
Greatest player I have ever seen. He was the solid gold engine room of midfield, with a vision that covered every blade of grass and the finest first touch on the ball I have ever seen. A truly gifted technician on the ball and selfless. All he thought about was what is the best interest of the team.
Greatest Premier League footballer of all time I am a Geordie and was at the game when he scored that magical goal against us the guy was a footballing genius thanks for the memories Dennis
Back again after the PL reminded me of how emphatic this man for us and im so happy that he won the PL with us as well. His goals will never get old ajoy to watch every forward we sing is jsut brilliant and King Kai about tob e one of them
@@MagicMike_101 You start talking about GOAT. When Mohammed is talking a bout artist. That is a big difference, and Mohammed is right. Bergkamp was a artist on the field.
Charles Pampliega Have you ever heard Thierry Henry speaking about Bergkamp? He said Dennis is the best player he ever played with. Henry played with Zidane, Trezeguet, Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, Ibrahimovic, Iniesta... It's quite fair to say that Bergkamp was Arsenal's best player.
One of my favorite Bergkamp anecdotes: RVP telling L'Équipe that one of his first great lessons, upon coming to Arsenal, was watching Bergkamp work for an hour on one-touch passing with his left foot. After training had ended. 🙌🏼
That chip is so outrageous to even contemplate, let alone to execute. Out of this world. Bergkamp is the reason I started watching Arsenal and EPL. Never had a football jersey with another player's name.
As amazing as the numbers are for players like Ronaldo and Haaland, there's a certain magic, a certain style about players like Bergkamp and Zidane that is just beautiful to watch.
Just dropped a single liquid drop from my eyeballs.. remembering the moment he scored the goal against newcastle as a young lad watching the game we all love.
dmc431 yes he did, in an interview some time later, he said that he did meant to flick it, but it was lucky in the sense that the defender didnt intercept the ball, the defender didnt tackle him and the ball landed right on his feet after the turn.
Obviously I'm not an Arsenal fan, but this man was something else. Bergkamp and Berbatov were the most elegant and techniques players that I ever seen.
Dennis Bergkamp is definitely one of the most technical football players ever with the most refined ball handling and, in my opinion, in combination with his graceful way of moving and presence on the field, he is the best Arsenal player of all time. 🙏
is hard to chose betwen henry and bergkamp they were both so good ,whoever you choose is not wrong when players are so close to each technicallity than you choose by preferences
The player that lifted Arsenal high! If he wasn't there neither Henry or other players would look so great. Henry was a top world class player but when Dennis decided to leave his mark it was an eternity of perfection!
Stopped watching EPL post Bergkamp retirement though I still follow the fortunes of Arsenal. Oh, how we miss the sumptuous football of Wenger's Arsenal.
One of the greatest players ever, just wow! I watched him as a kid, and was amazed, I'm even more impressed years later after watching so many football matches. Wow!
yeah true also i will say henry and hazard were the same as good as bergkamp technicality not bay stats in PL but all 3 are a litle bit diferent from each other but i will put all 3 in the same level
Беркамп, один самых недооцененных футболистов, несправедливо остался без Золотого Мяча. Тройка лучших голландцев - Круифф, ван Бастен, Беркамп - в любой очерёдности будет справедливо!
Lets be real His move against newcastle is prolly the GREATEST SKILL MOVE EVER CREATED I have never seen another person pull off this incredible skill (ik that doesnt necessarily make it the best move ever, but i think the fact uve never really seen it replicated adds more awe to it) Its a great technique as well, ive tried doing it over and over and have yet to get that spin of a touch like that
To me, what makes it incredible is that it's not one skill, it's a succession of very difficult skills, executed with perfect timing...with enough strength to hold off the defender. The initial positioning to receive the pass. The first touch to send the ball with spin in one direction. The ability to move the other way quickly and efficiently. The first touch to control the ball again. The strength to hold off the foul from the defender. The patience and exquisite footwork timing to bait the keeper to committing and then calming slot the ball under his side.
And the fact he did it with the inside of his foot. If I get played a ball in Training with a defender behind me I can pretty easily let it spin around the defender with the outside of my foot, but then to turn around yourself to the other Side and go around the defender is harder already. Also he 'pulled' his foot towards him as he gently touched the ball which came from the Side, if you think physics you know that you will rarely get a ball that you can actually control the way Bergkamp did, so doing that in a match and scoring is brilliant!
That goal against Newcastle is one of the greatest goals ever scored. His awareness of where the defender is and the technique and ability to control the ball and touch it round him was just pure magic.
The key was to put spin on the ball so that when it hit the round it spun in the right direction to retake possession.
Fun fact the leicester goal was better according to him.
J10Wilshere so good the commentator didn’t know what to say “AND THEN THIS”
You are so right. Every football player should learn to do that. But sooooo hard to do it with a defense player next to you.
Imagine being the defender! Player goes one way. Ball goes the other way... GENIUS!
Feel as if he is underrated by world football due to Thierry Henry shining alongside him. What he did with a ball was unreal
He was selfless and could have scored more goals but realised his age and what henry could do. If you look at Henry's interviews he always thanks Dennis.
Sonu Yasir Awesome..!
+Salz1991 underrated? they made a statue about him
Agreed
+Tobias Svejdal Well it looked like Arsenal had to think hard before finally getting him a statue even though he was a better player than Henry.

My favourite ever player. I remember one BBC Match of the Day Goal of the Month when the top three were all Bergkamp goals.
@@martinwright7093 YES..prob the only time that's happened!!!
I don't think i will ever witness a player as technically brilliant as Sir Bergkamp

Amen

@jimboslice613 ronaldinho possibly but I cant see neymar doing it
@jimboslice613 Easy to say once you'e been shown the way. The trick is to come up with it in the first place!
not an Arsenal fan but i WORSHIPPED Bergkamp.. to me he was just the very definition of a perfect Number 10.
I'm a Chelsea fan, and I must admit, with all respect, that Bergkamp-Henry were two of the best forwards to have ever graced the game. :)
,
the greatest arsenal player ever
Ummmmm..... Have you heard of Thierry Henry?
drummerman558 lmfao calm down, why you gotta get so butthurt. I never said Bergkamp was bad I just think Henry is better

Jedi Mind Tricks But Henry isn't exactly gonna say himself is he..? :P - @acharich
The best first touch I ever seen in football.✨"it's magnificent"
True
Yes!
That goal against Leicester was exquisite! 👌🏾 One of the best, and he did exactly the same against Argentina in the World Cup.
Messi mimicked Maradona, but only Bergkamp can mimic Bergkamp.
Real talk.still my fave goal of all time.and I,ve lived long enough to have quite a few worldies!!
One of my favorite Bergkamp anecdotes: RVP telling L'Équipe that one of his first great lessons, upon coming to Arsenal, was watching Bergkamp work for an hour on one-touch passing with his left foot.

His ball control is infinity. Woah!! Unbelievable. The non flying dutchman🔥🔥🔥
The good old days :)
That chip is so outrageous to even contemplate, let alone to execute. Out of this world. Bergkamp is the reason I started watching Arsenal and EPL. Never had a football jersey with another player's name.
Goal number 5 was amazing but then I realised that there were 4 more that were better •__•
Ali Hussain same.. i watched the first two and was like, there is no way there are still three more to come lol
Аристократ
Bergkamp is the kind of man that contributed to club's legend. What a footballer !
Dennis Bergkamp is the most gifted player what belongs to technic and ball control.
Respect
there are also some others the same as good as bergkamp
As amazing as the numbers are for players like Ronaldo and Haaland, there's a certain magic, a certain style about players like Bergkamp and Zidane that is just beautiful to watch.
the legend bergkamp is my favorite player, i still remember on his brilliant goal against argentina in 1998 world cup quarter final
And the game against Brazil
Just dropped a single liquid drop from my eyeballs.. remembering the moment he scored the goal against newcastle as a young lad watching the game we all love.
Such a legend
His goal vs Newcastle has been voted the best ever premier league goal, yet it's not even number 1 on this list?
Ross James It was voted 2nd best, sadly, behind Rooney's overhead kick against City.
Bergkamp himself said that the goal v Newvastle was based mostly on luck, and he said that his goal v Leiceister was his best.
Utsavbajra No he didn't, in the interview after the game, he claimed he mean't it thus not making it "luck".
dmc431 yes he did, in an interview some time later, he said that he did meant to flick it, but it was lucky in the sense that the defender didnt intercept the ball, the defender didnt tackle him and the ball landed right on his feet after the turn.

There's only one Dennis Bergkamp!! Absolute legend.
The player that lifted Arsenal high! If he wasn't there neither Henry or other players would look so great. Henry was a top world class player but when Dennis decided to leave his mark it was an eternity of perfection!
His control was amazing
His first touches are magical.
I can't believe that Dennis Bergkamp his movement in front of the posts. He always get hold on himself and unperturbed. It's amazing~
absolute finesse in the touch
This is art! Brilliant, 4th goal leaves me speachless
Without question one of the best ever played in PL. The man is a legend. Respect!
Always loved watching Dennis, class act. Not an Arsenal fan btw
Henry and Bergkamp are the two whom I admire. Pure class.
As John gartson famously said Dennis was sooo good he cld play on snow and not leave any footprints/tracks.or words to that effect!! Lol😮
His 1st touch was everything 💥👌
he is the architect of brilliant goals!
His positioning ball control and composure where unmatched
Stopped watching EPL post Bergkamp retirement though I still follow the fortunes of Arsenal. Oh, how we miss the sumptuous football of Wenger's Arsenal.
Definition of Elegance
Great Legend
Followed the English game closely since 1971..and Bergkamp would be the most entertaining player to grace the league.
What a player. He could do anything with a ball at his feet
Still appreciated till this day- the spin 360 pass to himself against Newcastle. Legend
Respectfully
- humble Chelsea fan (ahbromivich era)
A pure Arsenal legend stayed until the end! He will never be replaced so many magical touches and goals a true true legend
One of the greatest players I have ever seen
When he came to Arsenal he changed everything. My favourite ever arsenal player.
the golden time of premier league FOOTBALL!
From a Tottenham fan in my opinion the greatest player to come into the prem
Best player ever...majestic to watch that’s why so many teams wanted him
One of the greatest players ever, just wow! I watched him as a kid, and was amazed, I'm even more impressed years later after watching so many football matches. Wow!
Insane player. An absolute goat, like many others however in that period. So many good players. Not compared to players nowadays.
The way he controlled the ball was something special. Not many had the touch he had.
Some of his assists were just as incredible.
One of the best of all time... from a man united fan!
Definition of genius.

I can watch this all day
came here after Dennis Bergkamp & Ian Wright interview
Same, Wrighty has mad love for him!
The leicester goal is my favourite one from him. The way he control that ball is unreal.
Henry named Bergkamp as the best player he played with. Above Zidane even..
I liked the turnaround on defender. Remember this guy. He was really good.
What a beautiful player. He painted a picture on the field The goal against Newcastle ! Say no more
I saw the one against Newcastle on the telly as a kid. Beautiful.
I laugh every time I see that Newcastle goal, it's just so absurd. Legend.
