Payet’s stunning last-minute winner against Romania on opening night provided the glitz to a curtain opener that had looked set to end in disappointment for the hosts.
Cristiano is one of three Real Madrid players nominated, thanks to his wonderfully improvised back-heel after a fine Portugal move that ended with Nani’s low cross picking out his excellent near-post run.
And another Madrid star, Croatia’s Luke Modric, is also in the running thanks to his thumping volley that earned a 1-0 victory over Turkey.
Belgium’s Romelu Lukaku, Germany’s Bastian Schweinsteiger, Hungary’s Zoltan Gera and Italy’s Emanuele Giaccherini make up the remainder of the nominees hoping to edge out Slovakia’s Marek HamsÃk after his spectacular curling effort found the top corner against Russia.
