Scissoring beats shooting around, but Lorenzo Insigne is still on the podium of the 2020/2021 UEFA season goal. His goal against Belgium during the quarter-finals of Euro 2020 finished in second place. Mehdi Taremi’s spectacular scissor goal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Porto and Chelsea was chosen as Uefa.com’s goal of the season with around 30% of the votes received. Complete the podium, in third place the goal of Kemar Roofe during Standard Liège-Glasgow Rangers, scored in the group stage of the Europa League.
Only the goals scored in the Uefa club and national competitions held from October 2020 to July 2021 were taken into consideration. The ten finalist goals were selected by the UEFA technical observers. The Uefa.com portal dedicated to the award was the only channel to participate in the voting, and received over 600,000 votes. Users also had the opportunity to watch the goals on the UEFA.com YouTube channel and UEFA.tv, and participate in the debate on Twitter and Facebook via the hashtag #GoalOfTheSeason.
