Barcelona attacker Neymar and PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic are among the 10 nominees up for Fifa’s Puskas award for the best goal of the year, Goal reports.
As part of the lead up to the annual Ballon d’Or ceremony, 10 of the top strikes over the past 12 months are available for football fans to choose from, with the options to be whittled down to the three most popular on December 9.
Neymar gets the nod for his strike against Japan for Brazil at this summer’s Confederations Cup and he could become the first player to win the award twice.
Sweden forward Ibrahimovic is also on the list for his outrageous overhead kick from over 25 yards out against England in a friendly last November.
The only major European league on the list is Serie A, which has two entrants: Antonio Di Natale for an acute volley in Udinese’s clash with Chievo in April, and Bologna’s Panagiotis Kone with his acrobatic, twisting volley against Napoli.
