UEFA have released the names of the footballers that are in contention for the UEFA club football awards. Obviously the Champion’s League winners have quite a few players named. The awards will be presented throughout the Champion’s League group stage draw which is on the 27th August.


UEFA Club Goalkeeper of the Year
Petr Cech (Chelsea)
Victor Valdes (Barcelona)
Edwin van der Sar (Manchester United)
UEFA Club Defender of the Year
Gerard Pique (Barcelona)
John Terry (Chelsea)
Nemanja Vidic (Manchester United)
UEFA Club Midfielder of the Year
Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)
Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona)
Andres Iniesta (Barcelona)
UEFA Club Forward of the Year
Samuel Eto'o (Barcelona, now Inter Milan)
Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United, now Real Madrid)

Obviously I am hoping that Van Der Sar and Vidic win.
Would you be happy if Cristiano Ronaldo won the forward of the year?
