Lionel Messi's stunning goal against Roma in the Champions League last season has been selected as UEFA's goal of the season.
The goal was the product of an impressive passing sequence in which every Barcelona player appeared to get at least one touch of the ball, before the trident of Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar linked up to give the Catalans a 2-1 lead in a group stage match that would finish 6-1.
Messi won by a landslide, collecting 34 percent of fan votes - more than double the votes each of his competitors amassed.
It's the second year in a row that the Ball d'Or winner has taken home the award, after edging out Cristiano Ronaldo last season.
