The Puskás Prize, recognizing the best goal of the year, has a strong contender in 2014. Surprisingly, this contender doesn’t hail from the football powerhouses of England, Spain, Italy, or Germany. Instead, it comes from Israel, a nation where the football league is often overlooked. Barak Itzhaki, the striker for Maccabi Tel Aviv, showcased his exceptional skills with a stunning bicycle kick against Maccabi Haifa on the 16th day of the championship. This remarkable goal serves as a testament that extraordinary moments in football aren’t limited to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, or Neymar.
Witness this remarkable goal for yourself – an achievement likely to be discussed and celebrated for a long time. Watch it unfold.
