Lionel Messi has been overlooked despite a sublime season with Barcelona

The final shortlist for the UEFA Men's Player of the Year has been revealed, with Chelsea and Manchester City dominating proceedings.

The three midfielders have been given the nod ahead of Lionel Messi and each received more votes, despite the 34-year-old's sublime final season with Barcelona and his triumphs with the Argentina national team.
