UEFA Men's Player of Year: De Bruyne, Lewandowski, Neuer in top three
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are not among the three nominees for UEFA Men's Player of the Year. Lucy Bronze, Wendie Renard and Pernille Harder are up for the women's award.
Kevin de Bruyne, Robert Lewandowski and Manuel Neuer have been named as the nominees for the 2019/20 UEFA Men's Player of the Year award.
Manchester City playmaker De Bruyne, who recently won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, is in the final three along with two Bayern Munich stars who helped their side to the treble last season.
Liverpool's Van Dijk won UEFA Men's Player of the Year in 2018/19
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk won the honour in the previous season, finishing ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
None of those three are on the shortlist this time, though, and whoever comes out on top will be a first-time winner.
Neuer missed only one game in Bayern's treble season and kept six Champions League clean sheets, while Lewandowski netted 55 goals in 47 appearances for Hansi Flick's team.
De Bruyne, meanwhile, produced a record-equalling 20 assists in the Premier League for City, adding 13 goals.
The final order of the top three is yet to be revealed, but UEFA has confirmed the occupants of positions four to 10.
Lionel Messi fourth, Cristiano Ronaldo 10th
Barcelona forward Messi came in at tie for fourth with Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar, while Juventus attacker Ronaldo was down in 10th spot.
Thomas Müller (6th), Kylian Mbappé (7th), Thiago Alcántara (8th) and Joshua Kimmich (9th) were the others who featured in the top 10.
Ronaldo has won the honour three times since it was first awarded in 2011, while Messi has claimed it twice.
Andrés Iniesta, Franck Ribéry, Luka Modric and Van Dijk were the other victors, with the award voted for by coaches and journalists.
Bronze, Renard and Harder the Woman's Player of the Year finalists
Lucy Bronze, Wendie Renard and Pernille Harder are up for the Women's Player of the Year accolade in the 2019/20 awards.
Bayern head coach Flick, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp and RB Leipzig's Julian Nagelsmann are on the shortlist for Men's Coach of the Year.
Winners to be revealed on 1 October
The winners will be announced at the Champions League group-stage draw on 1 October.
Messi and Ronaldo also won the previous version of the award - UEFA Club Footballer of the Year – once each. That award was replaced after the 2009/10 season, when Diego Milito came out on top.
