Cristiano Ronaldo's performances in inspiring Manchester United FC to victory in the 2008 UEFA Champions League earned him the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year prize as well as being named Best Forward. Chelsea FC's consolation for missing out on the European title came with individual awards for Petr Čech (Best Goalkeeper for the third time in four years), John Terry (Best Defender) and Frank Lampard (Best Midfielder).
