People's Puskas 2025 | "Can you BEAT THAT?!"
People's Puskas is back, and we have one question for you: "Can you BEAT THAT?!" Over 10 million goals have been recorded with Veo in 2025. We’ve seen some incredible bangers. But we know there are goals that can beat what we’ve seen so far. Maybe you scored it, maybe it was your teammate, maybe it was that kid who never scored until they absolutely had to.
