No. uefa has a panel that does that. Ronaldo was picked. the fans pick is just for fun. when they did that of PFA, the fan voted Mane, but it was Van Dijk that won it officially. the fans does nt pick any award. they create a committe for that comprising of coaches and retired footballers. the fans vote is just for fun.

UEFA is not PFA, and the goal of the tournament is simply a recap of the goal of the week. It's not a big award like player of the tournament which is decided by a panel. They shortlist best goals and the winner is voted by fans.

UEFA used the same format they use in awarding goal of the week. You would understand this if you have voted the goal of the week before. See the goal of the tournament here.

big lie

the PFA is a whole different issue

each goals from the week in week out in d UCL are been voted for by the fans which is d same as the finale goal of the tournament

how then can it win the goal of the tournament

In Case You Missed It.
If the goal is not exceptional, it would not have won it. Those who adjudged it to be the best know what they are doing.

Please look at that goal again. I believe you follow football. That smash-in is just too regular to compete for a GOT. Maybe there is something about it I'm missing

Mbitiouz69:


Madzukic of juve, has scored over 160 goals with his head, Ronaldo is just tryin in that aspect

How many goals has he scored in his entire footballing career as a professional for him to have scored over 160 with his head? .
For both clubs and country, he has scored a total of 212 goals. If you subtract 160 from that, you will get 52. According to you, Madzukic has scored just about 50 goals with his legs and about 160 with his head right? If Madzukic sees this aerial ability comparison to C. Ronaldo, he will give you a hot, dirty slap. In the history of the game, only about 6 players can be compared to C. Ronaldo when it comes to aerial ability and they are; 1. Sandor Kocsis, 2. Uwe Seeler, 3. Dixie Dean, 4. Oliver Bierhoff, 5. Horst Hrubesch, 6. Carlos Santillana. Ronaldo is better than some of these but when it comes to heading the ball, these are the ones that can be mentioned in the same sentence with C. Ronaldo. C. Ronaldo is one of the greatest headers of the ball dead or alive. You can take that to the bank!

It is not just because it is a smash in, it is about the execution and timing. Anyone can smash a ball into the net but that particular execution is exceptional. He even timed his leg movement while running with the ball such that he connected with the ball the next time his leg was in position. Timing a long range pass from opposite side or a diagonal long range pass is easier to deal with but timing a long range pass from same side while running is not easy to control talk more of giving it a one-time connection to beat one of the best goal-keepers in his near post. The execution is superb and not more than 5% of footballers can score that without giving the defender and keeper any chance. The goal needs to be stored in a museum. If it is not an exceptional goal, it won't be voted as the best by UEFA.Mind you, the committe that voted included some of the greatest players of the game in the past including the legendary Raul, who to me, is the greatest one-on-one finisher of all time.

The fans picks are equally relevant that's why they asked for it and also post about it, what fans feel bout it and feel and what the committee feel bout it

See the UEFA official goal of the tournament here. Of the top 10, the top 4 were shortlisted and fans picked the winner like they do every week. Messi's goal wins the award.

What are you saying? Go back to the first page and see my post. Messi won the fans' vote for goal of the tournament and I never said he did not. Ronaldo won the panelist vote as his goal was no 1 on the list. Is this too difficult to understand? Ronaldo's goal was adjudged as the best by the panelist. A fan vote was subsequently conducted and Messi won it. Do you understand?

Quagriella is 36 n Ronaldo is 34...No BIG deal .

He won player of the season because he was the best, simple.

Messi should goan win trophy with his country fess so that we can confirm him. Or else he remains a local la liga champion

that was a top 10 shortlist and not an award. Same way you have top 10 for Ballon d'Or and votes from coaches and journalists determine top 3 and the eventual winner.

UEFA favours fan vote for their best goal award. They do it every week and at the end of the tournament. You people just like pushing meaningless anti-Messi agenda.

Have you seen any UEFA source that explicitly refers to Ronaldo's goal as the best? You see their post on their website where 'winner' is written next to Messi, and you are still arguing about the position of names on the top 10 list. Even a list that is not sorted in any particular order must have an item at the top. It means nothing unless they say otherwise.

Go give Ronaldo the award na. Someone whose goal wasn't even recognized as goal of the group stage.

I think the main issue we are having here is comprehension.If you cannot understand what I have written, I do not know how well to explain my points to you. You have even left the main argument to do a personality attack on Ronaldo who does not even know you exist. I referred you to the first page of this thread where I clearly stated that although, Messi won the vote, Ronaldo's goal for me, was the best. We provided the panelist list subsequently to show the load down from 10-1 as agreed by the panelist. Someone posted another link where Messi was said to have won and we never doubted it. I clearly stated that Messi won the fans vote organised in conjuction with Nissan. I do not know why you are being unnecessarily belligerent. Comprehension!

where is the personality attack on Ronaldo in my post?

Don't try to shift goal posts now, your post was clear enough. You guys are trying to imply that Ronaldo's goal was rated the best by professionals and wins the official award, while Messi's goal won an inconsequential fan vote.

There is no official panelist list that did a countdown from 10 to 1. They simply had a shortlist of 10 goals (its on the UEFA site too) in no defined order, and Ronaldo's goal was the first on the list. Nowhere did they tell you that that was a ranking of the goals, and that Ronaldo's own was adjudged the best.

If it was they would have said so explicitly like they did for Messi's goal that was eventually voted the best and given the title GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT.

Also notice how it is not FANS GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT.

all those are personal skills and achievement not world record. wise up bro

naturalwaves:

What about it? Messi's goal in there is totally different from this. This is a one-time shot on the same side as where the ball was coming from. In the other one, he had the chance to control and run up to fire the ball....a good defender would have stopped that. This particular goal is no match. The defender and keeper stood no chance.

OK
