    Uefa Team of the Year nominees revealed with 15 Premier League players making cut – but who gets in ultimate XI?

    BRUNO FERNANDES and Erling Haaland are on Uefa’s shortlist for the 2020 Team of the Year.
    Fans will vote for the top XI from the 50 players selected in Tuesday’s announcement.

    Last season’s pandemic-affected Champions League and Europa League campaigns saw the last-eight in both competitions battle in a unique mini-tournament.
    Atalanta and RB Leipzig were the surprise packages in the premier competition, the Germans even reaching the semi-final.
    But Bayern Munich won the crown and are well-represented on this year’s shortlist.
    Manuel Neuer, David Alaba, Joshua Kimmich, Alphonso Davies, Robert Lewandowski, Leon Goretzka, Thomas Muller, Serge Gnabry, final goalscorer Kingsley Coman and recent Liverpool signing Thiago Alcantara all feature.

    Eight Liverpool players make the cut, including Thiago, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
    The right-back is joined by Raheem Sterling and Harry Kane as the four Englishmen on the shortlist.

    Chelsea have Thiago Silva and Kai Havertz in the running but both players only signed for the club midway through the year.
    Bruno Fernandes is the only Manchester United star selected having netted penalties in both of his side’s games in the Germany run-off.

    Kevin De Bruyne completes the 15-man Premier League contingent after Manchester City’s disappointing defeat to Lyon in the quarter-finals.
    Pep Guardiola’s conquerors have two men nominated in Houssem Aouar and goalkeeper Anthony Lopes.
    Two other sides exiting earlier than many expected, Barcelona and Real Madrid, have just one man featured apiece in Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos.

    Paris Saint-Germain follow Bayern in boasting the most nominations.
    Seven stars of the Ligue 1 champions make the cut, including Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, following their first-ever appearance in a final.
    Europa League champions Sevilla have just Ever Banega on the list, the Argentine now plying his trade with Al Shabab in Saudi Arabia.
    Beaten finalists Inter Milan earn two more nominations with Romelu Lukaku, whose own goal gave Sevilla the trophy, in alongside Nico Barella and Stefan de Vrij.

    Josip Ilicic leads Atalanta’s trio of nominations after banging an amazing four goals in the last-16 dismissal of Valencia.
    There are also places for Matthijs de Ligt, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ciro Immobile to complete the Serie A selection.
    They will compete with Borussia Dortmund hotshot Haaland who took to the Champions League like a duck to water.
    After impressing for RB Salzburg, the Norwegian switched to Germany in January and racked up a total of ten goals in the Champions League.

    UEFA TEAM OF THE YEAR NOMINEES

    GK: Alisson Becker, Keylor Navas, Jan Oblak, Anthony Lopes, Manuel Neuer
    DEF: Thiago Silva, Virgil van Dijk, Angelino, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Dayot Upamecano, Sergio Ramos, Andrew Robertson, Presnel Kimpembe, Joshua Kimmich, Hans Hateboer, Stefan de Vrij, Matthijs de Ligt, Alphonso Davies, Juan Bernat, David Alaba
    MID: Thiago Alcantara, Kevin De Bruyne, Houssem Aouar, Ever Banega, Bruno Fernandes, Nico Barella, Kingsley Coman, Papu Gomez, Leon Goretzka, Kai Havertz, Jordan Henderson, Josip Ilicic, Marquinhos, Thomas Muller, Marcel Sabitzer

    Arsenal fans rage as ticket website crashes with thousands of fans desperate to watch Rapid Vienna clash next week

    ARSENAL fans raged on social media this morning after the club’s ticket website crashed under the weight of demand.
    Gunners supporters were desperate to secure one of just 2,000 tickets for Thursday’s clash against Rapid Vienna.

    Trying to buy @Arsenal tickets this morning was an especially maddening experience. This is a club that specialises in undermining the good will of fans
    — Robert Peston (@Peston) November 28, 2020

    So gutted – I’ve waited 9 months to watch @Arsenal at the Emirates – I get my chance to get tickets and the website crashes so I can’t get in. Finally get in and all tickets gone 😢 #Arsenal
    — Kim Swead (@kimswead) November 28, 2020

    Hey @Arsenal @TicketmasterUK got to the front of the queue for tickets and then the system crashed multiple times and booted me out of the queue…what do I do now?
    — Rob Gevertz (@robgevertz) November 28, 2020

    Arsenal supporters haven’t seen their club in action since March but will be allowed up to 2,000 fans per match from Wednesday as part of London’s Tier 2 restrictions.
    But eager Gunners were left frustrated as Arsenal’s website went down.
    One fan said: “So gutted – I’ve waited 9 months to watch Arsenal at the Emirates – I get my chance to get tickets and the website crashes so I can’t get in. Finally get in and all tickets gone.”
    Another wrote: “Hey Arsenal, TicketmasterUK got to the front of the queue for tickets and then the system crashed multiple times and booted me out of the queue…what do I do now?”

    And even ITV political editor Robert Peston tweeted: “Trying to buy Arsenal tickets this morning was an especially maddening experience.
    “This is a club that specialises in undermining the good will of fans.”

    Arsenal announced earlier this week that there would be no fan ballot and that the Rapid Vienna tickets would only be available to top members.
    But the system still meant a mad scramble among desperate Gooners.

    A statement read: “We will not be running a ticketing ballot for the match against Rapid Vienna.
    “For this match only, we will be running a ‘first come, first served’ priority sale to gold and premium Members who made their initial payment and registered for the ballot in September.”
    Fans are able to return to stadiums from Wednesday under new government guidelines.

    Up to 4,000 can attend in Tier 1 areas – but there are none in the country – and 2,000 in Tier 2 regions.
    Clubs located in Tier 3 places, like Manchester United, will still be forced to play behind closed doors.
    Arsenal are preparing to travel to north London rivals Tottenham next weekend in a game that will be played in front of 2,000 Spurs fans.
