There have now been 10 Puskás Award winners since the award was established in 2009, and it’s a pretty incredible list.

So here, in ascending order, is how we’d rank them …

10. Mohamed Salah – 2018

Don’t get us wrong, this was a very, very good goal but alongside some of the others on this list, it really isn’t much to write home about. Was it even the best goal Salah scored last season? Highly debatable.

9. Miroslav Stoch – 2012

This was a tremendous volley from former Fenerbahçe winger Stoch, but every time we watch it we can’t help but feel maybe the goalkeeper could have done a bit better.

8. Neymar – 2011

The goal which effectively introduced the world to Neymar was extraordinarily brilliant but if we were being hyper-critical, we’d probably ask whether those defenders could have done more to stop it?

7. Wendell Lira – 2015

This goal might have been higher in the list had former Brazilian journeyman Lira not retired from football at the age of 27 to become a professional FIFA player and YouTuber.

6. Olivier Giroud – 2017

Only Giroud will truly know whether he knew exactly what he was doing when he scored this ‘Scorpion Kick’ in 2017 but the cynic in us still thinks he fluked it.

5. Mohd Faiz Subri – 2015

This is an amazing goal but a mere mortal should not be able to make a ball curve in that fashion. Was it particularly windy in Penang that day, or was the ball filled with helium?

4. James Rodríguez – 2014

We’ve reached the point in the list where all the goals are indisputably amazing now, and this one from James at the 2014 World Cup still gives us goosebumps.

3. Hamit Altıntop – 2010

Like volleys do you? Well you’ve come to the right place.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo – 2009

If you thought the first ever Puskás Award winner was going to be first on this list then you were wrong but blimey, what an unbelievable goal it was.

1. Zlatan Ibrahimović – 2013

Nobody had ever scored a bicycle kick from 40 yards out before Zlatan did it, and it’ll probably be a long time before somebody does it again. Until that day comes, this goal has to be considered the greatest goal of all-time (well, since 2009 anyway).
