Who will receive the European Footballer of the Year award on October 1?
UEFA, which is conducting the elections in cooperation with European Sports Media (ESM), announced the remaining three nominees on Wednesday. The majority of the votes went to Bayern forward Robert Lewandowski, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and Manchester City playmaker Kevin De Bruyne.
One of this trio will receive the trophy in a week as part of the Champions League group draw. Your prominent competition is already looking at the tube. Barça’s Lionel Messi, who was fourth last year, isn’t in the top three this time either. The same applies to Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who last only finished 10th. PSG offensive artists Neymar and Kylian Mbappé were also lost.
And who wins the race among the coaches? Again, Bayern are favorites. Hansi Flick is nominated, as are Liverpool’s master builder Jürgen Klopp and Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann.
For women, British Lucy Bronze (Lyon, new Manchester City), Danish Pernille Harder (Wolfsburg, new Chelsea) and French Wendie Renard (Lyon) are available. Jean-Luc Vasseur (Lyon), Lluis Cortes (Barcelona) and Stephan Lerch (Wolfsburg) are fighting for the title of Female Coach of the Year. (mpe)
