The 10 nominees for UEFA's goal of the 18/19 season
An array of amazing goals, ten of them to be exact, have been chosen as candidates for the last campaign's goal of the season award 2018/2019. a varied list which includes players of all ages and genders, including, unsurprisingly, household names such as Lionel Messi, Ivan Rakitic, or Cristiano Ronaldo.
It was UEFA itself which decided on the candidates for the award, but the award itself will ultimately come down to the fans' online voting.
One of the most recognizable goals of the list is Cristiano Ronaldo's superb shot against Manchester United in the Champions League. Although the match ended with Juventus going home with a loss (1-2), Cristiano's goal stunned. His placing was just right as as the ball landed on his feet and he beautifully shot it past David De Gea with a quick ball.
Ivan Rakitic with his great volley against Tottenham at Wembley and Lionel Messi with his free-kick shot in the Champions League semifinals also made the list, making Barcelona the only team with two players to feature in the nominations.
Ex Barcelona player Pedro Rodriguez also features in the list for his highly skillful goal against Slavia Prague, alongside Portuguese player Luis Nani, who masterfully scored against Qarabag in a crushing 1-6 defeat after making the rivals' defence crumble.
Katarina Svitkova completes the list with an incredible shot from the halfway line, with Rennes' Sarr also making an appearance for his goal against Jablonet, French youngster Millot and Danilo Pereira also joining.
