Manchester City’s brilliant treble has finally been recognised in terms of individual award nominations … by Fifa.

After being snubbed by Uefa in their recent awards, while second-placed Liverpool had Virgil Van Dijk lifting the PFA Player of the Year trophy as well as providing three of Fifa’s ten-man short-list for player of the year, some Blues fans were disgusted by the lack of recognition.

But Fifa have now announced their short-lists for The Best Fifa Football Awards – and they include City keeper Ederson and manager Pep Guardiola .

The Best Fifa awards were launched three years ago, with the main award, for men's player of the year, seen as the successor to the Ballon D'Or.

Ederson is named alongside fellow Brazil keeper Alisson and Bracelona’s Marc Andre Ter Stegen for the Best FIFA men’s goalkeeper award.

And Guardiola is pitted against Liverpool rival Jurgen Klopp and Spurs Mauricio Pochettino for the best FIFA men’s coach award.

The winners will be announced in Milan on September 23.

The short-lists were drawn up by a ten-man panel which included former England manager Fabio Capello, Brazil great Kaka, Germany legend Lothar Matthaus, Italy defensive great Franco Baresi, former Real Madrid ace Hugo Sanchez, ex-Manchester United midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron and Barcelona legend Xavi.

Ederson had another great season for City, dazzling with his ability with his feet as well as his shot-stopping.

And Guardiola became the first manager in English football history to win all three major domestic trophies.
