The Ballon d'Or is considered the greatest personal accolade a player can achieve and this year's awards ceremony will take place in Paris on December 2.



The award, which is independent of FIFA since 2016, takes into account the performances of a player for the calendar year rather than the previous season.

Real Madrid playmaker Luka Modric broke a decade-long duopoly between Messi and Ronaldo when he won the 2018 edition.
