FIFA have announced the 10-goal shortlist for the 2019 Puskas Award, with Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic both featuring.
Messi’s chip against Real Betis and Ibrahimovic’s acrobatic strikes against Toronto FC make the shortcut.
Crystal Palace’s Andros Townsend is also on the shortlist for his thunderous volley against Manchester City last season.
Liverpool's Mohamed Salah won the 2018 vote for his strike against Everton at Anfield - the decision was met with derision in a year where Gareth Bale scored a spectacular overhead kick in the Champions League final for Real Madrid against Liverpool.
