David Alaba, Kingsley Coman, Alphonso Davies, Serge Gnabry, Leon Goretzka, Joshua Kimmich, Lewandowski, Thomas Müller, Neuer and the now departed Thiago have all made the cut.

Dortmund's Haaland - who was only outscored by Lewandowski in last year's competition - is also in the running, as are a further four men that starred as Bundesliga players in 2019/20.

The RB Leipzig trio of Angelino, Marcel Sabitzer and Dayot Upamecano all make the cut, as does Kai Havertz who featured in both the Champions League and Europa League for Bayer Leverkusen last term.

It means a total of 15 Bundesliga representatives have made the shortlist, more than any other league in Europe.

There are also more German players (six) than any other nationality, while Canada international Davies (20) is the youngest in the top 50, split between five goalkeepers, 15 defenders, 15 midfielders and 15 attackers.

Fans have until January 2021 to select their favourite XI.
