Declan Rice

Arsenal vs Real Madrid, 08.04.2025

Rice had already delivered one brilliant free kick earlier in the match, but his second attempt is the one that stole the spotlight. In the Champions League quarterfinal against Real Madrid, he curled a stunning strike into the top corner. The one that the goalkeeper can't carry. Now, that masterpiece stands as one of the favourites to win the Puskás Award.

Lamine Yamal

Barcelona vs Espanyol, 15.05.2025

Yamal opened the scoring in the Catalan derby by cutting inside and bending an unstoppable shot into the top corner. It set Barcelona on course for a comfortable 2-0 win. The goal showcased his maturity and technique despite very young age.

Carlos Orrantia

Atlas vs Querétaro, 16.04.2025

Orrantia scored the first goal of the game with outrageous composure, juggling past a defender before smashing a top-corner volley. This strike made him the first Mexican player since 2014 to be nominated for the Puskás Award.

Kevin Rodrigues

Kasimpasa vs Rizespor, 09.02.2025

The defender hit a thunderous first-time volley from 25 yards out after a loose header bounced into his path. He struck the ball with such clean technique that it flew like a missile into the far top corner. That goal put Kasimpasa ahead in what became a dramatic 3-2 win.

Lucas Ribeiro

Mamelodi Sundowns vs Borussia Dortmund, 21.06.2025

Ribeiro made a remarkable solo run starting in his own half during a FIFA Club World Cup thriller. He surged past multiple Dortmund defenders and took the risk of going one-on-one against the goalkeeper, though his teammates were open. Ribeiro finished the attack with precision, and that was later voted the goal of the tournament.

Pedro de la Vega

Seattle Sounders vs Cruz Azul, 31.07.2025

A long pass swung all the way from the right flank to the left, landing perfectly at De la Vega's feet in space. He didn't think twice and unleashed a stunning first-time volley that flew into the corner before the goalkeeper even knew what was happening. It was the standout moment of a night where the Sounders crushed Cruz Azul 7–0.

Amr Nasser

Pharco vs Al Ahly, 17.04.2025

Nasser stunned the crowd in a heated Egyptian League Cup clash with a lightning-quick bicycle kick. His improvised finish gave Pharco a huge breakthrough against one of Africa's strongest sides to win 2-1, and reminded everyone of Ronaldo's famous bicycle kick.

Santiago Montiel

Independiente vs Independiente Rivadavia, 11.05.2025

After Independiente Rivadavia cleared a corner, Montiel saw the opportunity. He brushed his opponent away and scored the winner with a spectacular overhead kick from around 25 yards out. The ball arched perfectly over the goalkeeper, sending the home supporters into chaos.

Rizky Ridho

Persija Jakarta vs Arema, 09.03.2025

Persija Jakarta's captain sprinted from the back to the middle of the pitch, exchanging passes with his teammate, before noticing the goalkeeper off his line. He lofted the ball into the net with perfect accuracy from just past the centre line, catching the goalkeeper completely off guard.

Alessandro Deiola

Cagliari vs Venezia, 18.05.2025

Deiola capped off a slick passing sequence with a brilliant curling finish from a tight angle. His strike put the final touch on Cagliari's 3-0 victory. It was a goal built on teamwork but finished with real class.

Alerrandro

Vitória vs Cruzeiro, 19.08.2024

Alerrandro's teammate whipped a beautiful curling ball into the middle, but a defender's touch sent it looping awkwardly into the air. Alerrandro improvised brilliantly, spinning and unleashing an acrobatic volley that flew into the top corner. The strike doubled Vitória's lead and instantly became one of the standout moments of their season.
