The other winners at the gala Monte Carlo, in which three galactic like Zidane, Baresi, Charlton and Eusebio were the hosts alongside Platini, the Uefa president, were three other players from the Premier: Cech, the Chelsea goalkeeper who overcame in voting to Almunia, Queen and Van der Sar; Terry, the captain of Chelsea which was imposed on Puyol, Barca great defense and the selection and finally Lampard, def players like Torres and Cesc Fabregas, who also opted to these awards.
