With the two stars, who shared 10 straight Ballon d'Ors from 2008 to 2017, out of contention, it is time for new names to rise. In fact, Luka Modric and Karim Benzema, the only two players to have won the award since 2007 apart from Messi and Ronaldo, too are missing from the nomination list. The new generation is ready to take over the award that is arguably the biggest individual prize in all of football.

It has been won by the greatest players of all time, with Cristian Ronaldo and Lionel Messi memorably trading the trophy for over 10 years, but the scene has opened up for a new generation of legends. Icons from the game will be present at the ceremony with plenty of glitz and glamour expected.

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior was widely expected to be crowned the world’s best player after a stunning season for the club in which he won La Liga, the Champions League and the Spanish Super Cup, but Manchester City star Rodri has made a late run for glory in the hours before the ceremony.
