Andy Robertson Drops a Funny Hint About His Puskás Award-Worthy Goal
Liverpool’s left-back Andy Robertson recently spoke humorously about his late winning goal against Ajax, joking that his deflected free-kick deserves the FIFA Puskás Award, which recognizes the best goal of the year.
The goal, a free-kick that was deflected and landed in the net during a dramatic late moment in the game, not only secured a victory for Liverpool but also drew attention from fans and commentators alike for its remarkable timing and impact. Robertson smiled off the suggestion that the goal was a prime candidate for the prestigious award, calling it a bit of a joke while sharing the anecdote.
He also recounted the reaction of Arne Slot, Ajax’s coach, describing it as an emphatic and memorable moment — a mix of shock and frustration from the opposing side. Robertson’s lighthearted comments were well received by Liverpool supporters, underscoring both the competitive and jovial atmosphere following such a key match.
This playful comment adds to the ongoing discussions within the football community about what kinds of goals should be considered for the Puskás Award, with Robertson’s intention clearly more about celebrating the team’s late success than seriously campaigning for the individual accolade.
The incident highlights Robertson’s character both on and off the pitch — fiercely competitive and yet approachable with a sense of humor and humility. His goal will be remembered for securing an important win for Liverpool, regardless of any awards it might or might not attract.
