  • Robert Lewandowski

    and

    Manuel Neuer

    are up for the vote for

    Europe's Footballer of the Year

    Kevin De Bruyne

    (Manchester City) form the final trio of UEFA

Munich / Nyon - After the triumph is before the triumph.

The group stage of the

Champions League will be

drawn

on October 1st, with

FC Bayern *

going into the race as defending champions.

But before the new season in the premier class begins, some

FCB stars

could win more titles - but individual

ones

.

Because at the same time as the CL draw,

Europe’s Footballer of the Year will also be

awarded

in Nyon

- and two triple winners * from

FC Bayern

* have good chances there.

Top scorer

Robert Lewandowski *

and FCB captain

Manuel Neuer are

among the last three.

The trio is completed by ManCity star

Kevin De Bruyne

.

He also knows the Bundesliga very well from his time at Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg.

In the run-up to the UEFA election, the three protagonists received the most votes from the 80 coaches who had participated in the group stages of the Champions and Europa League in the previous CL season, plus those of the 55 journalists selected.

On October 1st it will be announced who can take the trophy home.

Last year

Virgil van Dijk was honored

by the then CL winner

Liverpool FC

ahead of

Lionel Messi

and

Cristiano Ronaldo

.

FC Bayern: Europe's footballer of the year!

Lewandowski before the coronation - or does a teammate slide in between?

Three other FCB players made it into the top 10 in the past season in the premier class:

Thomas Müller

(41 votes),

Thiago

(27) and

Joshua Kimmich

(26).

Incidentally, the coaches were not allowed to vote for players from their own team.

Congratulations men!

For

Lewandowski it

would be the next big individual award.

He was recently voted

Germany's Footballer of the Year

.

In addition, the Pole, who scored an outstanding 55 goals in 47 games in all competitions last season, is also hoping for the world footballer's choice.

In the premier class alone,

Lewy

scored 15 goals in 10 games,

narrowly missing

the record set by

Cristiano Ronaldo

(17).

When

FC Bayern won

the triple for the last time (2013),

Franck Ribéry was

named Europe's Footballer of the Year.

The choice of Europe's best coach * is meanwhile firmly in German hands.

Hansi Flick

(FC Bayern),

Julian Nagelsmann

(RB Leipzig) and

Jürgen Klopp

(FC Liverpool) make up the category among themselves - PSG coach

Thomas Tuchel

made it to fourth place.
