We need, IDK, Giovani Lo Celso to do a backheel nutmeg half-volley off of a corner kick at Stamford Bridge while flipping home fans the bird or something. Make the other clubs come and take the Puskas away from us. That rabona goal in a North London Derby rules. Others are going to say it’s stupid to celebrate a team winning consecutive FIFA The Best individual awards like it’s somehow important. Asteras Tripolis in 2015 is better, and that didn’t even get NOMINATED for a Puskas. The one he scored in the Europa League vs. What’s wild is that it’s not even the best rabona goal Lamela has scored in a Tottenham shirt.
The Argentinian scored a rabona goal from outside the box, a shot. Last season, that award was taken by Son Heung-Min for his 90-meter dribble and goal against Burnley. Yet his goal after 29 minutes in the Europa League tie with Asteras Tripolis last night was almost worth his price-tag alone. It’s also the first time EVER that a player from the same club has won the award in consecutive years, even though Lamela has since been sold to Sevilla.
It’s the second straight year that a Tottenham Hotspur player has won the Puskas Award, given to the person who scored the dopest goal in world football during a calendar year.
