"GOTM and a half": the February run goes live in polls tomorrow!
Pick the Goal of the Month on our social media accounts
Inspired by the iconic Fellini masterpiece, here's the new and improved format for February's Goal of the Month pageant! After the double round-robin and final four in October, the GOTM is taking a fresh twist to deal with the "overbooking" this month...
After all, given the double glut recorded in February and without dropping the ball on the captivating displays courtesy of our Primavera and Under 23 wonderkids, how could things be any different?
So much so that, if we were to draw a literary parallel, the most fitting caption for this month's contest would be "six golazos in search of a GOTM!"
Set to clash over the long weekend of March 21st-23rd, February’s finest will face off in two rounds: after a double round-robin, the winners of each group will "meet at dawn" for the ultimate showdown on Sunday.
Save the date (or rather, the dates)! Staggered on two days, the double group stage will kick off at 16:30 on Friday, March 21 (Group A), and wrap up at the same time the following day with Group B. The scramble to the top will follow suit, ending at 16:30 CET on the dot on Sunday...
So here are the nominees for February's Goal of the Month (Groups A and B). Who will progress to the final phase?
