This Thursday (17) UEFA announced that De Bruyne, Haaland and Messi are the three finalists for the award for the best player in Europe in the 2022/2023 season. Along with the three players, the organization shared the 11 athletes who were competing for the award. Vinícius Junior's name was not among them, which caught the attention of people all over the world.
The only Real Madrid representative on the list is Modric, who finished seventh. No Brazilian managed to be in the top 11, even though Cria do Ninho had a great season in Spain. The voting to decide who are the great players in Europe works as follows:
- A technical study group was created by Uefa to make a list based on the performances of the players, by club and national team, in the season last year;
- A jury was then formed, which included coaches from clubs that played in the group stage of the last continental competitions - Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. Also in this group were coaches of men's national teams that are part of UEFA and journalists selected by European Sports Media (ESM);
- Each judge selected for the voting group made their individual top 3. Each position gave players a score: the first place received five points, the second received three and the third received one.
- Once decided, the final result was calculated from the sum of these votes, and coaches could not vote for players on their own team.
Thus, it can be seen that the name of Vinícius Junior was already out of the 'competition' in the first stage. It was the technical experts who understood that the star was not up to the standards of the 11 greatest players on the continent.
The winner of the UEFA award will be named on 31 August at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco during the draw for the group stage of the next Champions League.

Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.
Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.
In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.
Léo Duarte and Kauã Santos' moment in EuropeLéo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.
