Barcelona’s Uruguay forward Luis Suarez was on Wednesday
named on a three-man shortlist for UEFA’s Best Player in Europe award for
2014/15.
The 28-year-old joins perennial top player nominees Lionel
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Suarez’s Barca teammate Messi won the inaugural UEFA Best
Player in Europe award in 2011 while Real Madrid’s Ronaldo is the current
holder.
Messi is the big favourite as Barcelona won the treble of
Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey last season, while he helped
Argentina reach the Copa America final.
The award will be handed out in Monaco on August 27 during
the draw for the group stages of the Champions League.
Behind the top three, Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon
was fourth, Barca’s Brazil forward Neymar fifth and Eden Hazard of Chelsea
sixth.
