It looks like a straight fight between the Juve and Inter men for Serie A's Player of the Year Award, as Kaka failed to impress last term.
The Italian Footballer's Association (ACI) has announced the nominees for the 'Oscar Del Calcio 2008' (Player of the Year) awards and, as expected, all the usual suspects have made the list.
The winners are voted for by their fellow professionals but the best referee and coach are also up for the prize.
Milan's Kaka won the best player of the year accolade last term, and Juventus star Alessandro Del Piero, who finished last season as Serie A's top scorer, is amongst the favourites to scoop the golden statue this time.
The Bianconeri legend has never won the award, which has been running since 1997.
