UEFA Club Football Awards

The UEFA Club Football Awards are traditionally started in 1998 and ran until 2010 before being replaced by the UEFA Best Player in Europe Award in 2011.

New voting procedures were introduced in 2005/06 with the head coaches of the 16 sides which reached the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds all having a say.

In 2009/10, Diego Milito's goals helped FC Internazionale Milano claim a historic treble and earned him the final UEFA Club Footballer of the Year prize as well as the title of UEFA Club Forward of the Year.

It proved to be a unique clean sweep for Inter, in fact, with Nerazzurri playmaker Wesley Sneijder scooping the midfielder award, right-back Maicon being named top defender and Júlio César taking the goalkeeping honour.
