Dimitri Payet has always been a player that is capable of producing moments of jaw-dropping magic, and the Marseille star did just that during a Europa Conference League clash with PAOK as he fired in an early contender for the 2022 Puskas Award.
Ligue 1 heavyweights were already leading 1-0 as half-time approached during a continental outing against Greek opposition, but the roof was taken off Stade Velodrome by a stunning volley from a mercurial France international.
Former West Ham star Payet loitered on the edge of the box as Marseille lined up a corner in the 45th minute, with the ball fired into him as he spun on the spot and made a perfect connection with a 25-yard thunderbolt that scorched into the top corner.
