The UEFA has released the list of the nominees for the Men’s and Women’s Player of the Year awards. The body has also released nominees for Men’s Coach of the Year and Women’s Coach of the Year. So the list of Men’s Player of the Year does not have a couple of big names that have been missing out. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the two names that have been missing out.
