Premio al Jugador del Año de la UEFA
Según la UEFA, el premio "reconoce al mejor jugador, independientemente de su nacionalidad, que haya jugado para un club de fútbol dentro del territorio de una asociación miembro de la UEFA durante la temporada anterior". [91] Los jugadores son juzgados por sus actuaciones en todas las competiciones, nacionales e internacionales, y a nivel de clubes y selecciones nacionales a lo largo de la temporada. [91]
En el pasado, el premio lo decidía únicamente un panel de 53 periodistas deportivos destacados. [92] Sin embargo, en 2018, la UEFA incorporó a su jurado a 80 entrenadores de los clubes que participaron en la fase de grupos de la UEFA Champions League y la UEFA Europa League de ese año. La cantidad de periodistas seleccionados por la Asociación Europea de Medios Deportivos también aumentó a 55, en representación de cada una de las asociaciones miembro de la UEFA. [93]
Delantero de la temporada de la Liga de Campeones
Los premios posicionales de la Liga de Campeones se introdujeron en 2017 para "reconocer al mejor jugador de la temporada en cada posición en la principal competición de clubes de Europa". [98]
Jugador de la semana de la Liga de Campeones: MD5/ 2015–16 , MD1/ 2016–17 , MD3/2016–17, MD5/2016–17, R16/2017–18 (vuelta), MD1/ 2018–19 , MD2/2018–19, MD5/2018–19, MD10/2018–19, MD11/2018–19 [105]
Nominado a Jugador de la Semana de la UEFA: 8/2016 [106]
La Bota de Oro Europea se otorga al máximo goleador de Europa . Se otorga según un sistema de puntos ponderados que permite a los jugadores de las ligas más duras ganar incluso si marcan menos goles que un jugador de una liga más débil. Los goles marcados en las cinco mejores ligas según la clasificación de coeficientes de la UEFA se multiplican por un factor de dos, y los goles marcados en las ligas clasificadas del sexto al vigésimo primer puesto se multiplican por 1,5.
Desde que se estableció el sistema de puntos en 1996, Messi es el único jugador que ha ganado el premio un récord de seis veces y también el único que lo ha ganado con un récord de 100 puntos (temporada 2011-12). Messi también fue el primer jugador en ganar el premio cinco veces. [149] [150] [151]
Cristiano Ronaldo es el máximo goleador de todos los tiempos de la UEFA Champions League con 140 goles, mientras que Messi es segundo con 129 a su nombre. [155] Ambos habían roto el récord del otro en el transcurso de 2015, después de que Messi superara al poseedor del récord anterior, Raúl , en noviembre de 2014. [156] Ronaldo abrió una brecha en la temporada 2015-16 cuando se convirtió en el primer jugador en anotar cifras dobles en la fase de grupos de la Liga de Campeones, estableciendo el récord en 11 goles.
