Puskas Award 2015: A list reduced to three crazy goals!
by |
And the best goal of the year goes to...
Messi, King of Slalom
- Athletic Bilbao - FC Barcelona - Copa del Rey - 30th May 2015
The night of the Copa del Rey Final known as the King’s Cup and the King himself settled it. Messi sheathed pass the Athletic Bilbao’s defenders. Left alone at the 50-yard mark, the Argentinean humiliated all the Basque defense, before punishing Bilbao’s goalkeeper Iraizoz, a precise shot from an acute angle. Absolutely Perfect.
Florenzi, God for One Night
- AS Roma - FC Barcelona – Champions League – 16th Septembre 2015
While Roma were without options against Barcelona, Florenzi, who spotted Ter Stegen, decided to hit from the 50-yard mark. Result, a stunning goal, to make it a draw against European champions for the Giallorossi’s.
Lira, it is Brazil!
- Atletico-GO v Goianesia - Brazilian Goiano - 11th March 2015
An unlikely chip-shot to conclude a brilliant action, Wendell Lira’s incredible half-bicycle goal kick, then playing for Goianesia!
So who deserves to succeed James Rodriguez, winner in 2014 with a volley in the Uruguayan powered skylight of the World Cup? Results, January 11th at the official FIFA Ballon d'Or ceremony.
