Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, one of the favorites for FIFA’s prestigious Puskás Award, has shared what he plans to do first if he wins. Known for his jaw-dropping bicycle kick goal against Everton last season, the young Argentine is now in contention for one of football’s highest accolades.

Garnacho’s Remarkable Goal

Garnacho’s stunning effort at Goodison Park, which earned him the Premier League’s Goal of the Season award for 2023, is now among the highlights of the Puskás Award shortlist. Speaking about his goal, Garnacho said, “Honestly, I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even see it happen. I just listened to the crowd and thought, ‘Oh my God.’ This is one of the best goals I’ve ever scored.”

The goal evoked memories of Wayne Rooney’s iconic bicycle kick in the Manchester Derby and firmly established Garnacho as a player for the big moments.

A Competitive Field

While Garnacho’s strike is a favorite, the competition is fierce. The shortlist includes Mohammed Kudus of West Ham for his solo effort against Freiburg, Walter Bou’s long-range scissor kick, and Federico Dimarco’s impossible goal near midfield for Inter Milan.

Despite the competition, Garnacho remains optimistic and grateful for the recognition.

His First Move as a Winner

When asked about what he would do first after claiming the Puskás Award, Garnacho responded with confidence: “If I win, the first thing I’ll do is thank my family. They’ve supported me through everything. This award would mean so much to us.”

The young star’s humility and determination continue to win the hearts of Manchester United fans and football enthusiasts worldwide.

Looking Ahead

Should Garnacho secure the award, it would be another milestone in his burgeoning career and a testament to his growing influence on the world stage. With this iconic goal already etched in memory, fans eagerly await the announcement to see if Garnacho will bring home the Puskás Award.
