FC Barcelona’s fourth goal in the historic comeback in the last 16 of the Champions League against PSG, scored by Neymar, is one of the strikes on a short list selected by UEFA for their best goal of the Champions League award for 2016/17. The Brazilian’s goal came in the 88th minute of the encounter and sparked off an amazing seven minutes for Barça. Neymar scored twice in the comeback and his fantastic free kick from the edge of the box has led him to be among the candidates for the prize.
