De Bruyne, Neuer & Lewandowski Nominated For UEFA Player Of The Year Awards

Lewandowski and Neuer also were part of a Bayern squad that won the domestic treble this season.

In total, he scored 55 goals in 47 appearances last term.
Captain and goalkeeper Neuer also impressed with 6 clean cleans and making 28 saves. The German also missed just one game the entire season.
De Bruyne was key in helping City reaching the Champions League quarterfinals. The midfielder also provided a record-equalling 20 assists in the Premier League last season –the highest in Europe — and was voted the PFA Players’ Player of the year.
