The two winners for the best goals of 2025 were announced on Wednesday as FIFA’s Puskás and Marta awards were given out.

The Puskás award is given to the best goal scored by a men’s player in a calendar year, while the Marta award goes to the women’s player with the best finish. Let’s meet our 2025 winners.

On the men’s side the Puskás award winner was revealed to be Independiente’s Santiago Montiel. The 25-year-old netted an insane game-winner during a playoff match in Argentina.

Just when we thought the United States women’s national team’s attack couldn’t get stronger, Emma Sears announced herself with a hat trick against New Zealand on Wednesday during the USA’s 6-0 friendly victory.

Sears, 24, had previously only scored one goal for the USWNT in 10 appearances. On Wednesday she took advantage of being named in head coach Emma Hayes’ starting XI and put on a show for the fans at CPKC Stadium in Kansas City.

The United States women’s national team got their 2025 summer off to flying start on Saturday with a stellar 3-0 victory against China in a friendly.

USWNT head coach Emma Hayes will be pleased with her side as they controlled just about every aspect of the game. The big highlight was a brilliant Sam Coffey strike in the first half to double the USA’s lead.

In the 35th minute Catarina Macario received the ball in the box and laid it off to a wide open Coffey. The 26-year-old Portland Thorns midfielder made no mistake and ripped a shot into the net.

Paris Saint-Germain won their first Champions League title in style on Saturday with a dazzling 5-0 victory against Inter Milan full of world class moments. One highlight we loved was a fantastic Ousmane Dembélé backheel vs Inter that sprung the attack for PSG’s third goal.

In the 63rd minute the Frenchman was being closed down by two defenders and escaped the pressure with a perfect layoff to Vitinha. The clever move opened up the Inter defense and Vitinha slipped the ball through to Désiré Doué who finished coolly.

United States men’s national team and Celtic center back Cameron Carter-Vickers put on a fantastic audition for playing as a forward on Saturday with a sensational long distance goal vs. Kilmarnock.

In the 21st minute the American defender unleashed a fierce strike from distance that nobody saw coming. Carter-Vickers found himself in a pocket of space and decided to try a shot. And what a shot it was.
