Paris:Netherlands winger Arjen Robben, German World Cup-winning goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, and Real Madrid and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo are the three contenders to win UEFA's Best Player in Europe Award for 2013/14.
The winner will be declared on August 28 in Monaco, where the draw for the group stage of the Champions League is taking place.
One of these 3 men will be the succesor to last year's winner Franck Ribery.
The deciding jury consists of journalists from the 54 member associations of UEFA.
Neuer & Robben both play for Bayern Munich, who won the domestic league & cup double in Germany last season, while Manuel Neuer was the outstanding goalkeeper at the World Cup and Robben impressed the world as the Netherlands finished third.
Ronaldo did not have the best of World Cup's, probably due to a very mediocre side he was leading, but he did star as Real Madrid won the Champions League & Copa del Rey.
