Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk has been named UEFA Men's Player of the Year for 2018/19.
The 28-year-old Holland international beat Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo of Juventus to win the award after playing a starring role for Liverpool in their triumphant Champions League campaign.
The former Celtic and Southampton centre-half, who succeeded Real Madrid's Luka Modric as Europe's top player, was man of the match in the Champions League final win against Tottenham.
He was also named PFA Player's Player of the Year in April after leading Liverpool to a second-placed finish in the Premier League.
Liverpool signed Van Dijk for a reported fee of £75m from Southampton on New Year's Day 2018 and the Dutchman has added both much-needed steel, as well as guile, to Liverpool's defence and is widely regarded as one of the world's best central defenders.
England defender Lucy Bronze won the 2018/19 UEFA Women's Player of the Year Award.
The 27-year-old, who has been with French club Lyon since 2017, was England's star performer at the Women's World Cup earlier this year when she won the Silver Ball as the tournament's second-best player.
The former Sunderland, Everton, Liverpool and Manchester City full-back also scored one of the goals of the tournament in England's 3-0 quarter-final win against Norway.
