As reported by the French publication L’Equipe and reproduced by the ANSA agency, the other top candidate is the Italian nationalized Brazilian midfielder Jorginho, who won Euro 2020 with “Azzurra” and the Champions League with his team, Chelsea.
Further back appear the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo (he won two titles with Juventus, from Italy, before moving to Manchester United, from England); French striker Karim Benzemá (Real Madrid, Spain) and Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, from Bayern Munich (Germany).
Lewandowski is driven by UEFA’s best European player of the season award; while Benzema has just won the Nations League with his team.
Messi is the highest historical winner of the award, with six (including the last, delivered in 2019 and later suspended by the Covid-19 pandemic), followed by Cristiano Ronaldo, with five.
