From 19.00 CET: FIFA Puskas Award – Schick amongst finalists

"You have to imagine how many fantastic goals are scored across the world in a year…" – Patrik Schick not only paid great respect to his fellow players with this statement but also spoke from his own experience. The Bayer 04 striker scored one of the most unmissable goals of the year at the last summer's European Championships. His long-range shot from over 45 yards out has put the Czech Republic international amongst the last three for the FIFA Puskas Award 2021, which will be revealed in Zurich on Monday night.
