On Thursday, the UEFA announced their three men’s player of the year finalists for the 2022–23 season.
Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, and Kevin de Bruyne are three of the top candidates.
Former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and current Inter Miami player Lionel Messi of Argentina has had a stellar year. His remarkable skill and leadership were on full display as he led Argentina to victory at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Meanwhile, Kevin De Bruyne (a Belgian midfielder) and Erling Haaland (a Norwegian striker) were instrumental in Manchester City’s unprecedented treble last season, in which they won the Premier League, the Champions League, and the FA Cup.
