Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has another award nomination.
The Egypt superstar is up for the best forward award in last season's Champions League, after notching 11 goals in the Reds run to the final, reports the Press Association.
He is up for the award alongside Cristiano Ronaldo - who left Madrid for Juventus earlier in the summer - and Barcelona's Lionel Messi.
Manchester City were thrashed 5-1 on aggregate by Premier League rivals Liverpool at the quarter-final stage but that has not stopped Kevin De Bruyne being nominated in the best midfielders category.
The Belgium international joins Real Madrid pair Toni Kroos and Luka Modric as the trio of players up for that award.
New Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker could also be named as the Champions League's best goalkeeper for his performances at former club Roma, but the Brazilian will need to see off Madrid's Keylor Navas and Gianluigi Buffon - who played for Juventus but is now at Paris St Germain.
The best defender award will definitely go to a Real Madrid player as Marcelo, Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane are the three nominees.
