Goal of the year award is up for grabs. FIFA

Alessandro Florenzi, Wendell Lira and Leo Messi all have the opportunity to will the Puskas prize given out by FIFA this season, that recognizes the best goal scored during 2015

Alessandro Florenzi (Roma 1 - 1 Barcelona)

The Italian managed to surprise Ter Stegen in the Champions League by taking a pot shot from pretty much the half way line. the precise and unstoppable shot meant that Stegen could only helplessly watch the ball fall into the back of net.

Wendell Lira (Goianésia 2 - 1 Atlético GO)

This spectacular over-head bicycle kick rightly gives Lira a place in the top-three. The build-up play is incredible, and the technique to steer the ball past the keeper is second to none.

Leo Messi (Barcelona 3 - 1 Athletic de Bilbao)

You know a goal is special when a player beats five players before calmly slotting it in the back of the net. This goal happened in the final of the Copa del Rey, and it’s hard to see Messi missing out on winning this title.
