They are Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City and Belgium), Robert Lewandowski (Poland and Bayern Munich) and Manuel Neuer (Germany and Bayern Munich).
One of the three will be named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year.
The winner will be confirmed during the 2020-2021 UEFA Champions League draw ceremony in Nyon on 1 October.
