Cristiano Ronaldo, Manuel Neuer and Arjen Robben have
made the final shortlist for the 2013-14 UEFA Best
Player in Europe Award.
- Ronaldo: Real will repeat as champs
The trio made the initial longlist released last month,
which also included Angel Di Maria, Philipp Lahm,
Thomas Muller, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Diego Costa
and James Rodriguez.
And UEFA has now whittled that selection down to a final
three, with the award -- won last year by Bayern
Munich's Franck Ribery -- due to be handed out on Aug.
28 at the Champions League group stage draw.
Ronaldo, who has yet to win the award since it was first
handed out in 2011, is among the final nominees for a
fourth consecutive year after inspiring Real Madrid to
Champions League glory.
The Portugal captain also broke the record for the most
goals scored in a Champions League campaign along
the way, netting 17 times.
Neuer played a key role in helping Germany to a fourth
World Cup in Brazil, keeping four clean sheets in seven
games.
The Bayern goalkeeper also helped his side to a
domestic Double last season and was named German
Footballer of the Year for a second time.
His club teammate Robben, meanwhile, struck 21 times
last term to help Bayern to their domestic Double, while
he also scored three goals in Netherlands' run to the
World Cup semifinals this summer.
