Aymeric Laporte stuns Messi's Miami from his OWN HALF

Without Cristiano Ronaldo and with Leo Messi on the bench, Al Nassr-Inter Miami did not promise much excitement. Well, Aymeric Laporte took it upon himself to present his candidacy for the goal of 2024... on 1st February.

With a 2-0 lead, the Spain international waited to take a free kick in his own half. He tried to leave time for his team-mates to position themselves correctly, but his path was lit up when he spotted the opposing goal.

From deep in his own half, Aymeric Laporte fired the ball straight at goal. With a perfect effect, the ball was sent into the back of the net without bouncing. A work of art rarely seen in football.

The stadium's disbelief at the goal contrasted with Al Nassr's laughter and Leo Messi's poker face on the bench. To the 3-0 defeat he had to add the nomination for the Puskas award.
