Lionel Messi Has Been Nominated For The UEFA Men's Player Of The Year. by Almiron(op): 4:12pm On Aug 17, 2023
2022/23 UEFA Men's Player of the Year nominees*

Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium & Manchester City)
Erling Haaland (Norway & Manchester City)
Lionel Messi (Argentina & Paris, Inter Miami)
🐐

*Listed in alphabetical order

The award winner will be announced at the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony, which will take place on Thursday 31 August at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

How was the shortlist selected?

The initial shortlist of players was selected by the UEFA technical study group based on their performance during the 2022/23 season at both club and national team level.

The top three nominees were then voted for by a jury composed of the coaches of the clubs which played in the group stages of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League, together with the coaches of the men's national teams of UEFA's member associations. A group of journalists selected by the European Sports Media (ESM) were also part of the jury.

Coaches and journalists were asked to select their top three players from the shortlist by allocating them five points, three points and one point respectively. The final result was based on the total number of votes cast by the coaches and journalists. The coaches were not allowed to vote for players from their own team.

The rest of the players who received votes

4 İlkay Gündoğan (Germany & Manchester City, now at Barcelona) – 129 points
5 Rodri (Spain & Manchester City) – 110 points
6 Kylian Mbappé (France & Paris) – 82 points

Re: Lionel Messi Has Been Nominated For The UEFA Men's Player Of The Year. by Almiron(op):
Lionel Messi is the first player outside Europe to be nominated for UEFA Men’s player of the year award

Penadogs we told y’all it’s gonna be an everlasting wailing. Ballon d’or is coming too

Re: Lionel Messi Has Been Nominated For The UEFA Men's Player Of The Year. by Almiron(op):
In 2009, Lionel Messi won his first UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award 🏆

Nearly 15 years later, he's one of three nominees for the 2022-23 UEFA Men's Player of the Year award.

Longevity 🐐

Re: Lionel Messi Has Been Nominated For The UEFA Men's Player Of The Year. by Almiron(op):
While penadogs are celebrating penado influenced semi retired, finished and washed players moving to the lowly rated and inconsequential desert league.

Leo Messi the only globally recognized 🐐 is being nominated and recognized by those who matter in the history of the game, across the world, ballon d’or still loading

Highest goal scorer in PSG
Highest goal scorer in France
Highest goal scorer in the World Cup

But he's not fit enough for top 3

However, his team mate who ghosted all season is among the top 3

Lol grin grin grin

I stopped taking awards like this seriously since 2017. It is all a shitshow of off-the-pitch politics.

You don’t know why Messi who won the World Cup as the best player, Ligue 1 and French Super Cup is doing in the list but you want Vini there who has no trophy or better individual stats there. You must be high on dust

Penadogs go cry tire, they are now celebrating mediocrity, and the awards for “i influenced semi retired and washed players to the desert” awards go to Pristiano Penado.

The man who scored the highest penalty in the history of football 🤣😂🤣🤣

Lol Messi and Ronaldo fans wan start bashing lmao. UEFA competition meant for the champions league not the world cup winner and beside Messi doesn't have anything to prove to anyone even without the world cup he's still better than Ronaldo with 7 balon d'or.

Na Halland or kelvin de bryne get this award most especially idk. Among their 2, kdb gave more than 20 assist.
