The election of the most beautiful goal of the year took place for the 13th time. From the many nominees (view all goals below) 3 super nominees remained: Patrick Schick with his goal from the center line at the European Championship, the retro of Mehdi Taremi (Porto) against Chelsea and the rabona of Erik Lamela.
The latter eventually received the most votes, so that he succeeds his then teammate Son on the honors list. “I wasn’t really thinking about that much,” said Lamela, who now plays for Sevilla. “I didn’t realize how special it was.”
It was not the first time that Lamela could score with a rabona. 6 years ago he already did it in the Europa League, just like in his early years in Argentina. “Yet I don’t really train for that. It’s just a hunch of the moment.”
