Gerrard captained Liverpool to last season's Champions League
|
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been voted the best player in Europe at Uefa's annual awards ceremony.
Gerrard was voted last season's most valuable player by a panel of coaches, with Chelsea duo Petr Cech and John Terry named best keeper and defender.
"I'm shocked, looking at the players that have won this award in the past and some of the unbelievable players involved last year," said Gerrard.
"It is a great honour and I am really lucky to be receiving it."
AC Milan's Kaka won the best midfielder award, with Barcelona's Ronaldinho named the best forward.
The awards ceremony took place before the draw for the group stages of the Champions League.
