Patrick Schick’s 45-meter (50-yard) shot for the Czech Republic against Scotland was already judged goal of the tournament at Euro 2020. Erik Lamela scored with a rabona flick for Tottenham in a north London derby. Bicycle kicks by Luis Diaz for Colombia at the Copa America and Mehdi Taremi for Porto in the Champions League are also nominated. Voting is by FIFA-appointed panels of fans and former players.
