Unforgettable goals, or maybe yes? The Puskas Award is the award established by FIFA on 20 October 2009. A trophy dedicated to the best goal of each football season, without distinctions of championship, gender and nationalityas stated in the criteria.
14 editions, waiting for the 15th to take place in 2023. Previously, until the controversies of 2018they were the fan to elect the best goal on the official FIFA website. From that edition onwards ifanand a selection of experts (Fifa Legends) vote among the 11 networks present online, with a weight of 50% for each of the two groups. Every registered user can select three goals ordering them based on preference (first 5 points, second 3 points and third 1). Whoever gets the highest score wins.
The assignment criteria
Do you remember the winners of each edition? Who stood on the podium with them?
(The result of the matches often refers to the goal scored by the protagonists).
Sweden-England 4-2 / 2012 friendly.
On your back and with the bow at 25 meters? For Zlatan Ibrahimović it is not a problem. CRAZY what he invented in a friendly against England. And obviously, he ended up being elected Puskás 2013. ???????? pic.twitter.com/hnnOrrARx4

The thought of being able to score a goal like that or actually doing it? I can’t decide which is the biggest folly. Zlatan Ibrahimovic maybe he wasn’t the strongest striker in history, but he was certainly the one capable of giving us some of the most incredible goals ever. Heels, acrobatics and a 25 meter overhead kick.
Benfica-Porto 2-2 / Primeira Liga 2012-13.

Before Mourinho, who then characterized the entire career of the Serbian, who moved from Roma to Rennes in the summer. Nemanja Matic he played at Benfica and on the occasion ofThe Classic he scored in this way. A flying lefty at the end of one turret which would have earned him a lot of points in a hypothetical German at the beach.

Still Neymaragain in third place, but with the shirt of Brazil. The occasion is the 2013 Confederations Cup, the Selection plays it at home and wins it in the Final against Spain. The debut match is against Japan and Neymar, ten years ago, opened it in this way.
