Aymeric Laporte electrified the crowd during the Al Nassr-Inter Miami match, eliciting wild reactions from the fans. Despite Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence and Leo Messi being benched, Laporte, the Spanish international, amplified the score to 3-0 with an astonishing goal from his own half.

In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and with Leo Messi relegated to the bench, the Al Nassr-Inter Miami game seemed lacking in excitement. However, Aymeric Laporte seized the moment and threw his hat in the ring for the 2024 Goal of the Year contender, all on the 1st of February.

Holding a comfortable 2-0 lead, Laporte, representing Spain, prepared to take a free kick from deep within his own half. While waiting for his teammates to position themselves, he suddenly spotted an opportunity to strike at the opposing goal.

From the depths of his own territory, Aymeric Laporte launched the ball directly towards the goal. With impeccable precision, the ball sailed into the net without touching the ground—a feat of artistry seldom witnessed in football.

The stadium’s astonishment at the goal juxtaposed with Al Nassr’s amusement and Leo Messi’s impassive expression from the bench. Alongside the 3-0 defeat, Laporte’s nomination for the prestigious Puskas award added another layer of recognition to his remarkable achievement.
