Liverpool striker Luis Suarez beats Cristiano Ronaldo as my world player of the year Luis Suárez. I know, I know, it should be Cristiano Ronaldo, especially after his performance against Sweden in the World Cup play-off, but I am going to say Suárez. He has been phenomenal this year, and although there is obviously the good and the bad off the field, on the field he has been incredible and is getting better all the time. With the greatest of respect to Liverpool, the fact he is not doing it for Real Madrid makes it even more impressive. He is like a football robot. Team of the Year Bayern Munich. Bayern were amazing last year, but the way they destroyed Barcelona in a manner nobody thought possible just took it to another level. Many thought it would be a retrograde step when Pep Guardiola went in there, but they have got even better. Nobody wins back-to-back Champions Leagues, usually, but you would not bet against Bayern. Match of the Year Bayern Munich v Barcelona. It has to be when Bayern thrashed Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions Legue semi-final first leg. It was a night when people realised there was a new team in town. The brand of football and the way they took the game to Barcelona was extraordinary, it was on another level. I've also got to mention when Fiorentina beat Juventus in Florence. Fiorentina have waited three decades to do it and they really dislike Juve, so it was amazing for them. League of the Year Barclays Premier League. The Premier League may not be the best in terms of standard, as the entire bottom half are not really that good. But in terms of excitement and sheer unpredictability it has to be the best league in European football. Who could imagine Stoke beating Chelsea, Sunderland beating Manchester City or West Ham winning away at Spurs? The Bundesliga is obviously impressive due to the fact two teams from that league competed in the Champions League final but the Premier League is just, well, bonkers. Goal of the Year Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic has many contenders and this year he really has scored some memorable goals. There were the four goals against Anderlecht, all of which were brilliant in their own way but I am going for the back-heel against Bastia. It was a reverse kung-fu kick and an outstanding piece of improvisation.
