Messi is just a crowd favorite bro. That "Messi&friends game" was nuts haha
I know Cristiano Ronaldo is going to have a fit if he loses regardless who wins.

 

I have a sneaky feeling Bale might be in with a shout. His stock has certainly risen this year and maybe UEFA might finally look at the rest of Europe, rather than just Spain.

 

It'll be between Bale or CR7 I'm assuming.

 

I would give it to Lewandowski who appeared to single handedly dismantle Real Madrid with his 4 goals against them.

 

What do you think about this picture?



Will this be true or do you really think that Messi deserve it this year?

I would treat a Champions League winner. Maybe not Ribery, I prefer Müller or Schweinsteiger.

 

If for contribution it has to be Messi.

But I have a feeling they'll give it to Muller. He was phenomenal last season

 

Bale for me. He was nearly unplayable last season. God knows wher Spurs would have ended up without him

 

Officially! Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Franck Ribery are the top 3 candidates to be elected "European Footballer of the Year"! The UEFA had just known.

 

MGHimovic8 are these the top 3 contestants to win 13/14 season you mean?

 

1 of this 3 can only win it now.

 

Id have to go with messi tbh

 

Ribery deserves it most.

 

And the winner is... Franck Ribéry!



In my opinion he deserved it. What do you think?

 

Bale or ronaldo, but i think bale will win

 

He deserved it, but the votes were a bit messed up. Best player in Europe, basically saying best player in the Champions League. Ronaldo had 12 goals in the CL and was very decisive for his team, much more than Messi was for Barcelona. 3 votes is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. Especially with Barcelona getting thrashed 7-0 to Bayern. I think he deserved more. Not saying he deserved the award. Ribery clearly did, but I think he deserved more.
