The FIFA Puskás Award is the award given to the best goal of the season in the main professional football competitions and bears the name of Ferenc Puskás, who was the captain and maximum reference of the Hungarian national team. Lionel Messi could never win this trophy.

Since the season 2008/2008 the prize is awarded and Cristiano Ronaldo was the first winner. He did it with his bombshell in the Champions League against Porto FC in the return match for the quarterfinals. It was the only time the Portuguese managed to win it.

Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d’Or award seven times and won the Golden Shoe six times. the FIFA The Best award. However, he never won the FIFA Puskás Award.

He has been nominated seven times for the best goal of the year, but had no luck reaching the top position. This is a compilation of those many special ones.
