Video: The Puskas Award nominees have been chosen but who should win?
Last Updated: November 26, 2020 1:33 pm
The nominees
Each year, the Puskas award delivers goals of pure excellence and often ridiculous imagination, with this year no exception – overhead kicks, long-range strikes and goals where the player’s body contorts into shapes looking completely out of the ordinary are all featured.
There can only be one winner, though, and it is going to be tough to single one goal out from the latest batch. 2020’s selection features strikes from top-tier divisions in both men and women’s football, as well as Dundalk from Ireland, and even a wonderful Austrian strike from Zlatko Junuzovic, set up by the famous Dominik Szoboszlai.
