UEFA have announced their 40 man shortlist for the 'Team of the Year', a list that is dominated by Real Madrid players, who boast eight names, three more than any other team.
Both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have five players on their books named on the shortlist, but it seems that Real Madrid's Champions League triumph has been taken into consideration heavily, and Los Blancos will be more than pleased with their nominees.
Barcelona's front three are all involved, however; the trio almost single handedly led the Blaugrana to the 2015/16 LaLiga title, holding off fierce competition from Real Madrid who were in formidable form towards the end of the season.
This year fans will have a direct impact on who will make the final eleven, voting online for who they think should make the team, with the full shortlist below.
GK: Keylor, Oblak, Buffon, Rui Patricio.
DEF: Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Godín, Juanfran, Piqué, Kimmich, Alderweireld, Boateng, Bonucci, Guerreiro, Koscielny.
MID: Kroos, Modric, Iniesta, Carrasco, Pogba, Ramsey, Kanté, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Krychowiak, Allen, Payet.
ATT: Ronaldo, Bale, Suárez, Messi, Neymar, Griezmann, Higuaín, Lewandowski, Aubameyang, Agüero, Ibrahimovic, Sanchez.
