Alejandro Garnacho and Walter Bou have both been nomimated for the 2024 Puskas award.

Walter Bou was also nominated for his goal with Lanús against Tigre. He controlled the ball with his chest and hit a bycicle kick.
Giovani Lo Celso had a bittersweet evening, scoring a stunning goal before being sent off in Real Betis’ 2-1 away defeat to Mladá Boleslav on Matchday 4 of the UEFA Conference League.
The Argentine midfielder, recently back in action after recovering from an injury, gave Betis an early lead in the 17th minute with a brilliantly taken free-kick that curled over the wall and into the net.
However, frustration boiled over late in the match. In the 88th minute, with Betis trailing 2-1 after conceding twice in the second half, Lo Celso made a reckless challenge from behind on an opponent near midfield. The referee wasted no time in showing him a straight red card.
Fellow Argentine Ezequiel “Chimy” Ávila also featured for Betis, starting the match but being substituted off in the 55th minute.
Alejandro Garnacho scored for Manchester United in their thrilling 3-2 home victory against Bodø/Glimt on Matchday 5 of the UEFA Europa League.

Fellow Argentine Lisandro Martínez also started for the Red Devils but was substituted in the 60th minute.
Manchester United’s win keeps their hopes alive in the competition as they eye qualification for the knockout stages.
