Neymar vs Paris Saint Germain – 21 April 2015
Barcelona’s Neymar is one of two Barcelona players who have been nominated for goal of the season, and the Brazilian ended a fabulous flowing move with a calm finish to give his side a 2-0 win against Paris Saint-Germain at the Nou Camp. The goal ended the Champions League tie after the Catalan club had already won the first leg 3-1, with 5-1 being the aggregate scoreline after 180 minutes of football.
Neymar received a pass from Iniesta, who had embarked on a sparkling run from his own half unchallenged. The 23-year-old winger had a lot to do even after receiving the ball, but showed his composure by taking a good touch, rounding the keeper and coolly slotting the ball into the net.
