What they said

"It’s an amazing achievement for Jordan to be nominated. He’s a massive part of our group and a top player. It’s not a goal you would forget easily. It’s a great achievement for him and I really hope he wins. He has every chance of it. I stay back from corners so I probably had the best view of it. I was right behind it when he hit it."

Will this powerful volley get enough votes to win the FIFA Puskás Award 2020?
