Alessia Russo admitted being nominated alongside Kylian Mbappe for the FIFA Puskas award is ‘surreal’ but insisted the recognition is ‘huge’ for women’s football.
Russo’s back-heel in England’s Euro semi-final victory over Sweden is one of three goals scored by women to have made the 11-strong list of nominations for the 2022 award, which is decided by a public vote.
The Manchester United striker is nominated alongside some of the biggest names in world football including Mbappe, Richarlison and Mario Balotelli.
