Barça Oscar winners revealed!
The votes have been cast, counted, and the winners of the five Barça Oscar categories of Best Performance, Best Nutmeg, Best Outfit, Best Save, and Best Late Drama can be revealed:
Best Late Drama: Sergi Roberto vs PSG
The magical end to a great comeback in Barça's recent history and the man who crowned that moment, Sergi Roberto, have won the Oscar for best late drama. Time was almost up when the Catalan stretched out a leg and scored the sixth goal against PSG on a night that will never be forgotten.
The other candidates were Iniesta's goal against Chelsea (2009), Pedro's goal against Estudiantes in the FIFA Club World Cup (2009), and Piqué's goal against Sevilla in last season's Copa del Rey.
Best Performance: the comeback against PSG
And one again the game from 8 March 2017 at Camp Nou, the most epic day in Barça history, gets an award.
The other candidates were the 2-6 at the Santiago Bernabéu, the 5-0 Clásico at Camp Nou, and the 2011 Champions League final.
Best Nutmeg: Messi vs Milner
One of the best remembered Barça nutmegs was this one by Leo Messi on Milner. In the 37th minute of a 3-1 first-leg defeat of Manchester City (3-1), the Argentinian superstar left his English marker standing with a deft touch with the outstep of his left boot.
The other candidates were Messi on Spahic against Sevilla in 2012, Xavi on Guardado in the 5-1 against Valencia in the 2012/13 season, and Luis Suárez on David Luiz in the win against PSG (1-3).
Best Outfit: Leo Messi
The Argentinian superstar's outfit received the most fan votes. He was up against Dani Alves, Memphis, and Ansu Fati. The Barça legend proves he is peerless both on and off the pitch.
Best Save: Ter Stegen vs Lewandowski (2015)
May 12th, 2015. Munich. Barça had beaten Bayern 3-0 in the first leg, but the return was no easy matter. Ter Stegen made what would be voted the best save of that season's Champions League in which Barça ended up winning the title in Berlin.
The other candidates were Valdés against Henry in the Champions League final (2006), Valdés against Drogba in 2009 in the same game as Iniesta's Late Drama entry, and Ter Stegen again against Dybala and Juventus in Turin in 2017.
