FIFA has announced the finalists for the FIFA Puskás Award. This award is given to the player who is deemed to have scored the most aesthetically pleasing goal, regardless of the competition in which it was played and regardless of the player’s gender or nationality.
Mario Balotelli
Adana Demirspor v Goztepe | 05/22/2022
The Italian capped a devastating individual display with a terrific goal in this Turkish Super Lig clash. After fooling a Goztepe defender with a series of passes, Balotelli then unleashed an incredible rabona shot into the bottom corner. The goal was his fifth in Adana’s 7-0 win.
Amandine Henry
FC Barcelona-Olympique Lyonnais | 05/21/2022
With the clock just past five minutes in the UEFA Women’s Champions League final, Lyon midfielder Henry lit the fire in the match with a brilliant 30-yard strike. Henry won possession with a perfectly timed sliding tackle before picking himself up off the ground and unleashing an unstoppable effort past Barca goalkeeper Sandra Panos.
Theo Hernandez
AC Milan v Atalanta | 05/15/2022
Hernández’s remarkable solo run began when he took possession just outside his own penalty area. The Milan full-back proceeded to deftly overtake a crowd of Atalanta players and, having run almost the entire length of the pitch, fired a powerful low shot.
Alou Kuol
Iraq Under-23 v Australia Under-23 | 04/06/2022
The Australian striker’s acrobatic effort in this U-23 Asian Cup clash took our breath away. Joshua Rawlins’ cross was slightly behind Kuol, but he miraculously manoeuvred his body to land a scorpion kick that shot towards the net.
Kylian Mbappe
Argentina v France | 12/18/2022
With Argentina on two goals for good and seemingly cruising to victory in the FIFA World Cup™ final, Mbappe shocked the world with a 97-second brace to level the score. His first goal was a penalty, while his second was pure brilliance. Proving once again that he is a man for big occasions, the French superstar displayed immaculate technique to meet Marcus Thuram’s lofted pass with a deadly volley.
Francisco Gonzalez Metilli
Rosario Central v Club Atlético Central Córdoba | 01/08/2022
The angle was against Metilli when he saw a goal-scoring effort from a Renzo Lopez cross, but that didn’t stop the 25-year-old from attempting the spectacular. The midfielder couldn’t catch his volley sweeter, his sensational left-footed shot leaving goalkeeper Gaspar Servio caught in the air.
Marcin Oleksy
Warta Poznan v Stal Rzeszow | 06/11/2022
Polish amputee player Oleksy combined exceptional athleticism, imagination and scoring ability with an impressive scissor kick. His goal set off wild celebrations among his Warta Poznan teammates, and footage of the jaw-dropping goal soon went viral.
Salma Paralluelo
FC Barcelona-Villarreal | 04/02/2022
With his back to the goal and from more than 30 meters away, Paralluelo’s wonderful turn allowed him to dodge two Barcelona challenges in a single movement. He then switched the ball to his left foot and sent a deflected shot into the top corner. Paralluelo joined Barça from Villarreal just a couple of months later.
Richarlison
Brazilian ace Richarlison won the Qatar 2022 Goal of the Tournament™ award for this splendid effort. The attacker controlled Vinicius Junior‘s driven pass before turning his frame and sending an incredible acrobatic volley past Serbian stopper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic.
Alessia Russo
England v Sweden | 07/26/2022
Russo’s audacious effort in the Lionesses’ semi-final win over Sweden, one of the stars of England’s triumphant UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 side, was one of the competition’s most memorable moments. Scoring seemed impossible as Russo was pressured by two defenders and drifted away from goal, but conjured up an extraordinary backheel that dropped the Swedish keeper and sent the home crowd into ecstasy.
Dimitri Payet
Olympique Marseille v PAOK Thessaloniki | 07/04/2022
Marseille captain Payet added another special goal to his growing collection of magnificent long-range goals in this UEFA Conference League quarter-final encounter. After being selected by Cengiz Under, Payet found the back of the net with a signature bolt from the edge of the box.
