Real Madrid's Gareth Bale has claimed that his overhead kick in the Champions League final should have secured him the Puskas Award over Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
This year's award, handed to the scorer of the year's best goal in world football, was presented to Salah for his winding run and finish in last season's Merseyside derby.
Other notable nominees included Cristiano Ronaldo's overhead kick against Juventus and Bale's comparable effort in the Champions League final.
Bale, though chivalrous in his protestations, said he was surprised that Mo Salah's derby goal won him the prize, stating it has "diminished" the award.
