Six Barca players nominated for UEFA.com’s Team of the Year 2010

Editor’s note: Voting ends soon, so vote for our Barça players and ensure that they make it to Team of the Year, as chosen by fans!

Last year, six players and coach Pep Guardiola were selected by UEFA.com users as their Team of the Year. This year, UEFA has put up its candidates and while there is no Victor Valdes, Dani Alves and Guardiola, there are six Barca players who made the cut. Centrebacks Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique, midfielders Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, and forwards Lionel Messi and David Villa are in contention for the UEFA Team of the Year 2010. Since its inception in 2001, Carles Puyol has been selected as the fan’s favourite defender five times. If Lionel Messi makes it this year too, it will be his third consecutive appearance.

Vote for the Barca players here.

    There are so may great players, but in the end football is a teamsport, you need to do it together.So all this talk about who is the best player and these prices are a little bit annoying. The nice thing about Messi is that he seems genuinely humble and not too much affected by all this talk, he always praises his teammates and he seems aware that he excels thanks to the other players and people he is surrounded with.
    But since this price exists they should give it this year to Xavi. He is the ultimate teamplayer. I think everybody in the world of football loves Xavi, his fighting spirit, great technical and tactical skills, the way he makes other players better and the way he keeps his feet on the ground on and off the pitch. He is one of the greatest attacking midfielders ever and it's wonderful to watch him play. When he plays he is really in the game, goes for it 100% and doesn't look like he is all the time preoccupied with what people think of him. Last year he has been of great importance to Barca and the Spanish team and helped them win the worldcup for club and country!
    Messi, Iniesta and Xavi all deserve it, but they should give it to Xavi!

    I really didnt want to add in the madrid players but they are really talented so I had to keep it as unbiased as possible

    Sergio Ramos is even nominated… after his asswipe behaviour… what a Farce…
    The whole Barcelona team should be in the nomination list including reserves lol…

    Gk Casillas
    Even though he is Madrista through and through, he is one of the very few madrid players I respect and he is a genuinely good human being who is respectful towards others. I love Valdes to bits but i still think this man is the best gk in the world. He has nothing on Valdes for charging at players and making those amasing blocks but penalty stopping and pullling off a wonderful dive out of nowhere he is the best.
    LB Contrea
    Didnt really like left back choices cant believe Abidal was not in it ahead of these guys shocking
    CB Puyol
    El Capitan, mr consistent when we need him. The crasy one :)
    CB Pique
    Piquenbauer
    RB Lahm
    One of my all time favourites, amasing player. He has always played well with any team mate and i think he is definitely underrated
    CM Xavi(c)
    The best
    LM Robben
    What a turn around for him last season, was amasing
    AM Sneijder
    Done great for Inter and Holland
    RM Iniesta
    Dont need to say anything
    FD Messi
    Don't need to say anything
    FD Forlan
    One of the most underrated and overlooked strikers in the world. He also had a magnificentworld cup with Uruguay, which is harder to do than with a team like Spain
    MGR
    Quicque as he won Europa League using a team that was in a dire state, also Atletico beat teams Like Liverpool to get there

  10. sssssss says:

    it means youre not objective, you choose your favorite player not the best performing player…………..I like Cesc and i hate Inter but no way in this world taht Cesc is better player than Sneidjer last year……….thats completely bullshit…………..except for lucky assist in the final Cesc completely dissapeared in WC and he cannot bring any trophies for Arsenal……………Sneidjer is better
