Messi's phenomenal run against Athletic Bilbao in the 2015 Copa del Rey Final has shortlisted him for the FIFA Puskas Award 2015. It was an amazing goal from the little genius around the 20th minute of the first half where defenders could no longer contain his magic.
The Messiah of soccer as some aficionados call him has always created fantastic goals or golazos which is the expression for an awesomely amazing goal. And his goal against Athletic Bilbao on that final has all the ingredients to snatch the Puskas Award.
It is simply a Golazo not just another goal on the net. To fans all over it really matters how a goal is created whether it is long range shot that hits the bar and then goes in or is a long ball sent from the sides then converted in a goal by a fantastic header. All this details really count as an spectator; and Messi's exceptional goal will be in the memory of many for years to come.
That day Barca was creating opportunities to score but Athletic Bilbao would not give in. Messi once again made the decision to run with the ball from half field, dribbling four opponents and beating the goalkeeper with a near post goal. That golazo was indeed of quality, spectacular skill and creativity that deserves to be the winner but all of the shortlisted goals are impressive so we'll just have to wait and see what the decision makers come up with.
