And they say Messi is FIFA’s boy. To deserve a puskás it had to be better than the puskás that won. And it has to be during or after the 2008–09 season (Puskás didn’t exist yet). He can have more than one. Some of my top contenders:

2015 vs Athletic Bilbao

2015 vs Bayern

2011 vs Madrid

2019 vs Liverpool

2010 vs Zaragoza

    Messi’s problem re: this particular award is that he makes most of his goals look easy and does them over and over again. They don’t feel like they came out of nowhere, which is a hallmark of the Puskas. Personally, his Bilbao goal was definitely better than the 2015 winner. I’d put the Madrid 2011 goal up there too.

    But, I’ll also say that the winners deserved their awards too. The goals that won were ridiculous. 🤷‍♂️
