The Ballon d’Or has been cancelled so the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year will be the most important individual award for last season.
UEFA has now unveiled the three-man shortlist for the 2019-20 UEFA Men’s Player of the Year.
- Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
- Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
- Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)
Kevin De Bruyne had a fantastic individual season last term, though Manchester City failed to win any trophy. The Belgian is arguably the best midfielder right now in world football.
Neuer also played a huge role at the back in securing a continental treble for Bayern Munich, his second with the club after 2013.
But, Bayern’s Lewandowski is probably the outright winner for this year’s UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award. He has been phenomenal for Bayern. He has scored goals almost for fun and finished as the top scorer in both the Champions League with 15 goals and the Bundesliga with 34 goals.
Lewandowski would probably feel robbed of the Ballon d’Or this year but would hope to win the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year award on 1st October.
