rainbow flick
Ball over opponent
A rainbow flick is a soccer trick where a player rolls the ball up the back of one leg, then flicks it with the other heel so it arcs over their head and lands in front of them—bypassing a defender in spectacular fashion.
The move is flashy and rarely practical, more likely to appear in street football or highlight reels than serious match play: He tried a rainbow flick and the crowd went wild.
