UEFA: A surprise among the 3 finalists for the title of best player

Who says August says start of the season and also the Champions League draw as well as the presentation of UEFA trophies for the previous year. This Wednesday, the European football body announced on its official website and on its social networks the names of the three finalists for the title of best UEFA player.

The three finalists are Manchester City’s Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Lionel Messi. If the presence of the first two seems logical, that of the former Parisian is quite surprising.

Eliminated at the stage of the knockout stages of the Champions League with Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentinian did not achieve a brilliant European exercise both collectively and individually. The now number 10 Inter Miami has scored 4 goals and delivered 4 assists in 7 games including 0 in the knockout phase.

Nevertheless, the Argentinian world champion is not the big favorite in the first place. Norwegian striker Erling Haaland appears to be in the best position to win this individual trophy for the first time in his career. Case to follow. Reply August 31.
