Greenwood scores screamer vs Almeria

In a La Liga clash at Estadio Coliseum, the 22-year-old displayed his prowess by manoeuvring past a defender and unleashing a breathtaking strike into the top corner from the edge of the box, levelling the score at 1-1.

This goal marked his debut goal at the venue.

Here is the video:

According to Transfermarkt, the loanee from Manchester United has now tallied four goals for Getafe in the ongoing 2023/24 campaign since his arrival this summer.

Following Greenwood's strike, Borja Mayoral added another goal just before halftime, propelling Getafe to a 2-1 lead and nullifying Largie Ramazani's opener for Almeria.

The Englishman returned to football after a year-long suspension by United starting in January 2022, stemming from allegations of attempted sexual assault and coercive control, as cited by GOAL.

These charges were dropped in February 2023, but United advised him to pursue opportunities elsewhere after a prolonged investigation. He's now making a promising comeback with Getafe, showcasing his talent on the field.

Greenwood picks between Ronaldo and Messi

Sports Brief also reported that the youngster gave his verdict on the eternal football debate in a Q&A session with fans back in July 2021.

Surprisingly, the Englishman did not choose the former Manchester United great with his answer, opting to go with the Argentine legend instead, per Manutd.com.

Greenwood strongly favours Messi over Ronaldo, emphasizing the Argentine's exceptional abilities despite his smaller stature, especially highlighting his contributions to Barcelona and winning the Copa America for Argentina.
