UEFA has today announced the names of the nominees shortlisted for the 2018/19 UEFA Men's and Women’s Player of the Year Awards. The awards will be presented at the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony, which will take place in Monaco on Thursday 29 August.

For the men's award, the shortlist of three players was selected by a jury composed of 80 coaches of the clubs which participated in the group stages of the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League, together with 55 journalists from each of UEFA's 55 member associations, selected by the European Sports Media (ESM) group.

The coaches and journalists were requested to select a shortlist of three players by allocating respectively five points, three points and one point to each of them. The final result was based on the total number of votes cast by the coaches and the journalists. The coaches were not allowed to vote for players from their own team.
The three players who received the most points overall following the conclusion of the voting, in alphabetical order, are:

Lionel MESSI (Argentina – FC Barcelona)

Cristiano RONALDO (Portugal – Juventus)

Virgil VAN DIJK (Netherlands – Liverpool FC)

Messi fans incoming with red eyes.

E go do una lyk film.

VVD, Ronaldo, Messi FTW in that order.

You guys can start your own Nou D'Or if he too vex una.

-Lord

Messi shouldn't be on this list......he is way above these players, it more like they are ridiculing him......he's not a human....he's the god if football and shouldn't be shortlisted with mere men
If you want to shortlist him it should be for awards like........uefa extraterrestrial awards

Who's winning?

Like for Van Dijk

Like for Messi

Like for Ronaldo

Mane, Allison, Bernaldo Silva are robbed again.. .

"Icon of football marketing" must always make the nomination!!

Awards is all about popularity nowadays!!! What is Cristiano doing there

This is another injustice just to massage the ego of a player that was defeated by Modric last season!!!

Is that the reason why UEFA is afraid of omitting him??

Sorry Mane, sorry Allison, sorry Bernaldo Silva!!!

If this award is really based on individual performance, then Messi has it. CR7 did quite well also, VVD shouldn't have made that list, he was always avoiding dribbles by hiding at the back of his team mates. Mane was robbed, he deserves the spot given to VVD.

You guys should stop this senseless sentiment.

Mane had only 4 goals this season in the UCL. And he got to the final. Last season, he had 10.

VVD won the PFA.

Or would VVD have to score more goals than Mane before you take him serious? What else does he have to do?

-Lord

People can argue and all, but this Top 3 is fine.

Messi fans with red eyes right now...

I think VVD should win this.

He won the UCL and super cup.

Messi- Laliga player of the year

Van dijk- EPL player of the year

Ronaldo- SerieA player of the year

So??

You mention that VVD won the PFA but you failed to mention that Mane won the EPL golden boot, you forgot that Mane scored 6 goals in the UEFA competition including the brace that seal the UEFA super cup that you just include in VVD 'achievement'. What did VVD do for Netherlands in the UNL, the best player if that team was Memphis.. (if you truly watched the tournament).. Mane, on the other hand, was the leader of Senegal with 4 goals which gave him a Silver boot!!! If Mane is an European, I know that he will not be unfairly placed inferior to VVD or Ronaldo. The Injustice is louder than ever..

So??

That Ronaldo won SerieA player of the year ahead of Quagrilera, does not make him to be on the same level as Bernaldo Silva who won in the most difficult League in the World in the most competitive way ever!!! Bernaldo Silva further distinguish himself like Modric by winning the best player of the UNL!! He got sidelined because of his Weaker fame power obviously!!!

Lol... Clown... Did Bernado silva play better than Messi this season!?

Don't use Messi as an excuse for Ronaldo.. Messi still record his usual stat last season., why Ronaldo had arguably the worst stat of his illustrious career!!

Bernaldo Silva pulled a Modric last season but Ronaldo got spared!!! UEFA and FIFA are little more careful this time around.
Since Ronaldo was already campaigning on Instagram, any failure to recognize him in the final nomination will lead to tantrums from him, his agents and others(I don't want to mention more names)!!!

Well said.

I'm waiting for CAF awards to see how they will Rob Mane this year.
I go register for Twitter and destroy CAF Twitter handle if Mane no carry African best.

I Dy wait.

Since January no African or perhaps no European has played at his level except Sterling and Bernado Silver.
