Indeed, the footballing world has been treated to some truly remarkable goals this weekend. Wayne Rooney’s spectacular 50-meter volley for Manchester United against West Ham United was undoubtedly one of the highlights.
However, another incredible goal that captured attention came from an unexpected source: Orlando Engelaar, a Dutch player competing in Australia. Engelaar’s goal was nothing short of extraordinary, as he launched a stunning lob from over 60 meters away, leaving the opposing goalkeeper stranded.
With goals of such exceptional quality being scored around the world, the task of selecting the winner of the Puskas Prize, awarded to the best goal of the year at the Ballon d’Or gala, will undoubtedly be a challenging one for the judging panel.
Football fans continue to be amazed by the skill and creativity displayed by players like Wayne Rooney and Orlando Engelaar, reminding us all of the beauty of the beautiful game.
