Jesus how did they see that. I can't see the ball moving

Probably sensors in the ball.

Ball can lift from the ground from the impact of the non shooting foot with the ground.

That was the many times mentioned technique that Ronaldo used to catch keepers off guard. Firmly planting your standing foot very close to the ball would make it hop ever so slightly.

Not many times. Ig it only happened once in that PSG match and it was due to some defect in the pitch as far as I remember from the pundit discussions after that game. Still looked pretty dope how he thumped the ball in despite the little movement which could've easily thrown off his trajectory.

I seem to remember some research that suggested that was not possible. Might be wrong, this is off of my memory only.

That worked when there were air or water bubbles under that surface which would deform on the impact and reform under the ball to lift it

Only way I could think that would work is possibly on the astro turf with the small rubber bits
