On Tuesday, "FIFA Pro" and FIFA announced the surnames of five footballers who are nominated to become the best goalkeeper of the year.
Among the nominees are two goalkeepers playing in Spain - Iker Casillas and Victor Valdes. The list also includes Petr Cech, Gianluigi Buffon, and Manuel Neuer, who won all possible trophies last season with Bayern.
For the past five years, the captain of Real Madrid has left no hopes for his rivals, winning this award five times in a row. However, there are doubts whether I. Casillas will receive the trophy this year.
Candidates for the best goalkeeper of the year title:
1. Gianluigi Buffon ("Juventus")
2. Iker Casillas ("Real Madrid")
3. Petr Cech ("Chelsea")
4. Manuel Neuer ("Bayern")
5. Victor Valdes ("Barcelona")
