The only thing that will make Zlatan not to win this puskas award is because it is really afraid of him 😜😜

Most beautiful goal to watch Zlatan goal, hardest goal to score Messi goal. That night against Real Betis I was watching live, it was one of the best performance of Leo Messi this season that goal came from nowhere it was just stunning. we can also say that goal was some kinda lucky
