He was the most popular candidate and practically the big favorite. Alejandro Garnacho received the Puskas award for best goal of the year for his spectacular overhead kick against Everton in a match last season in the Premier League.
A lateral cross from Diogo Dalot was a little behind him, but the Argentine invented a magical resource to beat Jordan Pickford with a bicycle kick that many compared to the legendary Wayne Rooney against Manchester City.
“I had tried this technique many times in training,” Garnacho recently told FIFA. “I thought, ‘This is the time to do it, to see what happens.’ And I scored, so it was perfect!”
The impressive goal from the young ‘red devil’ beat nine other great goals in the voting, receiving 26 points. The goals from Yassine Benzia (22) and Denis Omedi (16) were the other two most voted for by FIFA.com users.
