Something’s wrong here.
Uefa have announced their team of 2015, but it features one glaring omission. No, not the fact there’s no Premier League players, but the absence of Luis Suarez.
The Barcelona forward had a stunning 2015, winning five trophies with Barcelona and scoring decisive goals in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, including the second in their 3-1 win over Juventus in the final.
He also did this to David Luiz.
However, despite reaching incredible heights as part of arguably the best front three in football history, there’s no place for the 28 year old amongst the 11 best players of last year.
Thomas Muller is another who could possibly feel hard done by through missing out.
The team was decided by a poll of Uefa’s website, and over seven million votes were cast.
Manuel Neuer was, unsurprisingly, voted best goalkeeper. Bayern Munich teammate David Alaba was selected at left-back, beside Sergio Ramos and Barcelona pair Gerard Pique and Dani Alves.
In midfield, Andreas Iniesta, Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba and Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez received most votes.
While Lionel Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo make up the front three.
On the basis of their form in 2015, should Ronaldo have been selected ahead of Suarez?
And although he’s undoubtedly a talented player, does James Rodriguez merit inclusion?
