It’s been a sensational week for Golazos and if you thought Neymar’s wonder goal against Flamengo could not be beaten, after all some have labelled it the “goal of the year,” check out the other goals in our top 10 and even some that narrowly missed the final cut.Valencia’s Pablo Hernandez gets things rolling with a goal that features two nutmegs before Cristiano Ronaldo reminds us how devastating he can be from free-kicks. Thiago Alcantara’s sensational summer then sees the Barcelona starlet pop up for goals 3 and 7.
Besides the aforementioned Neymar, the clear favourite to win this vote, Cosmin Mota and Leonardo pop up with excellent goals you probably won’t have seen.
Similarly the final three goals are also special, albeit from lesser known players. Jean-Louis Pascal Angan produces a brilliant turn and strike, Brad Rusin claims another individual goal all the way from the back and finally Wakaso Mubarak weighs in with a thunderbolt.
Of those that narrowly missed, the likes of Johann Gudmundsson, Bryan Ruiz, Gerard Deulofeu, David Hubert and Fernandinho will feel particularly hard done by.
After stressing that our list is compiled in chronological order (and not order of preference), and that voting can be done at the bottom of this post, all that’s left to say is sit back and enjoy!
