Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has been nominated for the FIFA Puskas Award that credits the finest goal scored in world football during a calendar year.
Messi, who is also in contention for a fifth Ballon d'Or at FIFA's January ceremony in Zurich, was voted through from a 10-goal selection thanks to a stunning solo effort in Barcelona's Copa del Rey final triumph against Athletic Bilbao in May.
A goal against Barcelona - Alessandro Florenzi's long-range strike for Roma in this season's Champions League - and Wendell Lira's bicycle kick for Goianesia against Atletico Goianiense in Brazil's Campeonato Goiano complete the three final contenders
