Guilherme Madruga has won the FIFA Puskas Award after his 25-yard overhead kick was voted the best goal in the world scored in 2023.
Brazilian midfielder Madruga's incredible piece of acrobatic brilliance came for Botafogo against Novorizontino during a Serie B game in June.
Madruga is the third Brazilian to win the FIFA Puskas Award - after Neymar in 2011 and Wendell Lira in 2015.
