The UEFA Best Player in Europe Award ceremony will take place on Thursday, and the three finalists are Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), and Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich). Ribéry is considered the favorite, having played a crucial role in Bayern’s successful 2012-2013 season, winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and the UEFA Champions League. However, both Ronaldo and Messi have had outstanding individual performances as well. Ronaldo is expected to miss the ceremony as he has a friendly match with Real Madrid, and Ribéry will be preparing for the European Super Cup with Bayern Munich.
