UEFA Best Player In Europe 10 Nominees Revealed
UEFA has announced the 10 man shortlist for the 2015-16 Best Player in Europe Award, featuring the likes of Lionel Messi, Gareth Bale and Antoine Griezmann, as well as Euro 2016 winners Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe.
Wigan Athletic’s Will Grigg just missed out despite matching the likes of Paul Pogba and Hugo Lloris in votes (25th overall) as European football’s governing body confirmed the finalists via its official website.
Argentina’s Messi and Uruguay’s Luis Suarez are the only non-European stars to make the final 10, while the inclusion of Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer (both of Bayern Munich) and Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) means Germany are the most well-represented nation.
The Sun‘s Dream Team couldn’t help but notice the remarkable rise made by Wigan and Northern Ireland star Grigg, who failed to make an appearance for his country in any of their four matches at Euro 2016.
