Dimitri Payet staked his claim for the title of the world's leading free-kick specialist on Monday night with yet another astounding dead ball effort.
With France having conceded an 88th minute equaliser at home to Cameroon, the Euro 2016 hosts looked headed for a disappointing draw in their penultimate warm-up game before the tournament starts on June 10th in Paris.
But Payet had different ideas. The pressure was on when he stepped up in an awkward position for a right-footed player out on the right. He shaped as if were going to cross, before disguising a beautifully arched shot into the top-left corner.
Add that goal to the two direct free-kicks he scored for West Ham in the Premier League this season, including a goal of the season contender against Crystal Palace, two beauties in the FA Cup at Manchester United and Blackburn and yet another in March for France at home to Russia.
After his latest goal from a dead ball, Payet said he is so effective from free-kicks that he thinks "the crowd expect" him "to score every time".
This comes less than two months after the Frenchman insisted that after practising free-kicks early on in the season, he now just "takes a few before each game when I am warming up".
The questions ahead of this summer's European Championship are therefore whether anyone is capable of stopping a Payet free-kick when he makes a clean connection with the ball, and also whether there is anyone else going to France who can rival his ability from dead ball situations?
Hakan Calhanoglu
Turkey's goal-scorer in their recent defeat to England at the Etihad is one of Europe's primary set-piece specialists, and he has attracted the attention of some of football's powerhouses as a result, linked with a move to Old Trafford for the past few windows.
Since he moved to the Bundesliga in the summer of 2013, he has scored 22 goals, 11 of which have been scored from free-kicks - including the utterly outrageous swerving effort above, hit from just outside the centre circle two years ago.
He will be in France this summer and will be a serious set-piece threat - though far from the only one.
Zlatko Junuzovic
He may he some way behind Calhanoglu but Werder Bremen midfielder Zlatko Junuzovic is still the closest Bundesliga challenger, with five free-kick goals in league games in the last three years.
That is only one fewer than Cristiano Ronaldo in the same time frame, though he has had just 41 attempts from dead balls to Ronaldo's 89.
Junuzovic will be in France with Austria this summer as one of Austria's most experienced and valued players.
Doesn't get the same kind of opportunities at Real Madrid as he did at Tottenham, but Bale remains a significant threat from set pieces. His lethal ball into the box was turned in by Sergio Ramos to open the scoring in the Champions League final, while he also scored a free-kick away to Israel in qualifying for Euro 2016.
Cristiano Ronaldo
The reason Bale doesn't get on free-kicks at the Bernabeu, Ronaldo remains the main man - and probably will do for a while yet. His unerring confidence means he is never dissuaded from set piece duty and that is what bring about his success.
He is La Liga's highest scorer from direct free-kicks during his seven years in Spain, with 19 goals. Fairly unsurprisingly, he has also had the most shots, with 283, which is more than every team bar Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Antoine Griezmann
His penalty taking might not be up to much, but the French striker is lethal from free-kicks, having scored two set-pieces in the league this season from just five attempts. With both him and Payet available, France are spoiled for options.
Gylfi Sigurdsson
Iceland won't get too many chances at Euro 2016 and may have to make the most of set pieces. Luckily for them, they have a capable specialist in Swansea City midfielder Sigurdsson.
Since moving to the Premier League he is the third-most effective free-kick taker, with five goals, behind only Christian Eriksen and Juan Mata, neither of whom will be at the Euros.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Scored a stunning free-kick in Sweden's Euro 2016 playoff win over Denmark, and is Ligue 1's top set-piece specialist, scoring seven goals since his arrival in France. Can take delicately curled shots or lace them at goal. We all know what Zlatan is capable of.
Lorenzo Insigne
No Andrea Pirlo for Italy but no problem, with Napoli's Insigne in the squad. He can't quite do what the floppy-haired veteran can, but with two goals from just eight free-kick attempts this season he isn't the worst alternative.
