Cristiano Ronaldo’s magnificent overhead-kick versus Juventus has been nominated for the UEFA Champions League Goal of the Week, presented by Nissan!
The Real Madrid forward’s acrobatic effort helped his side to a 3-0 lead in the quarter-final first-leg as the reigning champions eventually booked their place in the final four.
The strike has already brought debate over whether it was the greatest goal this historic competition has ever seen and will take some beating after a thrilling round of matches over the past two weeks.
Liverpool’s Mo Salah is one of those hoping to cause an upset, after the Egypt international earned a nomination thanks to his calm, chipped finish that helped dispatch Manchester City.
Salah’s team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also up for the gong after his ferocious strike in the first-leg of that tie, while Barcelona’s Luis Suarez is nominated for his neat finish versus Roma.
Juventus’ Mario Mandzukic rounds off the nominations with a fine header that very nearly inspired one of the greatest comebacks in UEFA Champions League history.
