The giants have fallen. The nets have ripped. And now, the legend returns. After more than three years away, Mislav Oršić is coming back to the place where he forged his reputation as the ultimate giant-killer: Dinamo Zagreb. At 33, the Croatian international isn’t just a veteran; he’s a weapon. And if you need proof, just look at the wreckage he left behind.

From Atalanta to Sevilla, Chelsea FC to FC Bayern München, Oršić has haunted the best clubs on Earth. But tonight, we aren’t talking about stats. We’re talking about spectacle. We’ve curated the 12 most devastating strikes of his career, arranged chronologically to show the evolution of a master.

The Rise of the Right Wing

It started on the pitch at Poljud Stadium. On September 12, 2020, Oršić announced his arrival with a thunderous right-footed blast against Hajduk. It was a promise. Two months later, in Varaždin, he delivered on it with two free-kicks, the second a 30-yard rocket that defied physics. Then, on January 27, 2021, he replicated the magic at home, silencing the doubters.

But the real statement came in February 2021. Against Viktoria Plzen, a fifth assist from Bruno Petković set up a goal that signaled Dinamo’s European resurgence. Then, the night that changed everything: March 18, 2021. Tottenham. An empty stadium, a full heart, and a hat-trick that left José Mourinho speechless. One goal. Two goals. Three goals. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a dissertation on dominance.

Mastering the International Stage

Oršić didn’t stop there. In September 2021, a kung-fu style strike against Slaven Belupo left the goalkeeper rooted to the spot. A direct corner against BSK Bijelo Brdo added to the folklore. Then, he took his art to London. Against West Ham in December 2021, he scored from an impossible angle, a eurogoal that shattered English resistance.

The following season, the stage was the Champions League. Chelsea fell at Maksimir thanks to Oršić’s solo run, a goal that indirectly cost Thomas Tuchel his job. Milan, too, couldn’t stop the Petković-Oršić connection at San Siro. But perhaps the most important goal came on December 17, 2022. Against Morocco, for the Croatian national team, Oršić scored the winner to secure bronze at the World Cup. A moment of pure national glory.

The Final Word

And then, the latest chapter. On September 30, 2025, against Bayern Munich. Manuel Neuer stood still. The ball curved late, dipping into the net. It was the only bright spot in a heavy defeat, but for Oršić, it was just another Tuesday. He says he’s returning to Maksimir. The fans are ready. The giants are trembling. Welcome back, the giant-killer.
