'My goal was the most beautiful' - Ronaldo questions Salah's Puskas award

The Liverpool forward scooped the goal of the year prize for his effort against Everton last December but Ronaldo thought his goal was better

Cristiano Ronaldo believes he was wrongly overlooked for the Fifa goal of the year award and claims his overhead kick for Real Madrid against Juventus last season was the "most beautiful".

The Portugal international was shortlisted for the Puskas Award alongside Gareth Bale's own bicycle kick in the Champions League final against Liverpool and Mohamed Salah's curling effort against Everton.

Salah would eventually claim the award to much surprise during a ceremony in London in which Ronaldo also missed out on the Men's Best Player prize, which was given to Luka Modric.
