Serie A Goal of the Month

The Serie A Goal of the Month, officially known as the Goal of the Month by Crypto.com for sponsorship reasons,[1] is an association football award that recognises the player who is deemed to have scored the best Serie A goal each month of the season. The award was introduced for the 2021–22 season.

Lorenzo Pellegrini was the first player to win the award and the only player to win it three times.

The first award was assigned to Roma player Lorenzo Pellegrini for his back-heel goal against Hellas Verona on 19 September 2021.[2] Pellegrini later went on to win the award a record three times. AC Milan players have won the award a record five times, while Italy is the most represented nationality, with ten winners. The most represented foreign country is France, with three awards.

Napoli player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is the current holder of the award, winning for May 2024 after his free-kick against Fiorentina.[3]
