The striker received the ball with his chest and smoothly went for the bicycle kick in a do-or-die situation. The ball went right over the keeper’s head and nestled into the bottom corner, as he stood rooted to the spot.
The Puskas Award is given out every year for the most aesthetic goal of the season. And by any standards, this one certainly has a chance at winning even before the European season has started.
