Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo & Andres Iniesta up for Uefa award

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will go up against each other again for Uefa's Best Player in Europe award.

Last year's winner Messi is joined in the final three by Barcelona team-mate Andres Iniesta, while Real Madrid's Ronaldo makes it two years in a row on the shortlist.
The winner will be announced on 30 August in Monaco on the same day as the Champions League group stage draw.

How they compared in 2011-12

• Lionel Messi: 60 apps, 72 goals
• Cristiano Ronaldo: 61 apps, 66 goals
• Andreas Iniesta: 46 apps, 6 goals

Bangor City's Les Davies did not make the final round.

The 27-year-old winger was a surprise inclusion on the original 32-man list.
A single nomination, believed to be from a Welsh journalist, was enough to earn Davies's place on the 32-man list, but he did not make the final cut.
