Juventus superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, was conspicuously missing from the list of nominees for the 2019 Puskas Award, with goals by Barcelona icon Lionel Messi and former Manchester United striker, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, among the top 10 nominations.

Ronaldo had scored a sensational volley against former club, Manchester United, in the UEFA Champions League last season, but it was not good enough to get him a place in the final 10 list of goals in contention for the coveted Puskas Award.

The 34-year-old Portugal international previously won the award in 2009 for his long range strike for Manchester United in a 1-0 win over FC Porto in the Champions League.

Messi on his part has made the list thanks to his audacious lob from just inside the box in a La Liga match against Real Betis, with the Argentina international ending the game with a hat-trick.

Meanwhile, Ibrahimovic has been nominated for his 500th career goal scored in acrobatic fashion against Toronto in a Major League Soccer (MLS) match in September 2018.

The goal scored for LA Galaxy in a 5-3 win saw the Swede join Ronaldo and Messi as the only active football stars to reach the 500-goal milestone.

Okay

Messi all the way. I've signed in and voted already. Great technique to curl in that amazing goal

I prefer Zlatan ibrahimovic's goal in the MLS to win the award

Zlatan wins it already

Hope you people know the meaning of Puska award?!
It is not often for the best player...
Many players in Division 3 and a couple of unknown players have won the award.
Even players in Under 20 .

Any player can win the Puska award, as long as your federation is under FIFA, even a player from Enyimba or shooting stars!

Google Puska award, you will know the player called Puska and how the award came to be, Google is always your friend!

Below are some of the past winners of the award. and guess whose name is prominent below and look at some unrecognised names also......

hmm

To be honest and plain and the 2018/2019 season CR7 was average at best well below his standard, but then again he was learn a new league so this Season rightly belongs to Messi, Virgil Van Dirk, Mane and Benardo Silva to me... That's my opinion though

Zlatan for this

Okay

Messi lob is the greatest.. So orgasmic.

Give him the award already

Nice to know our very own Zlatan (Ibile) was nominated for his leg work... GBE body!

Ronaldo's obsession with Messi is enough dent on his great abilities. Every now and then, he is always out to try and justify why we should believe he is better than Messi. To be pragmatic though, by what we see of the two of them, Messi is just on a greater pedestal. Without bias!


BTW, watch out for Ronaldo's upcoming rant...

As a man utd fan since CR7 nor dey d list make zlatan jus win am...........next

That award is bull.shit... as they dint nominate his overhead kick against juventus last year means the award was s full of Shi.t

Messi will never win puskas.... Isèé

That free kick was a superb one

Zlatan has been doing well so.... Congrats to him
He will win

I think messi will win it ...

I already know now who the winner will be.

Dating a guy that bleach is frustrating, you will be pregnant & be expecting a cute baby like 'Ronaldo' then boom, here comes 'Balotelli'.

Ronaldo fans now
