After the suspension of the last delivery of the Ballon d’Or due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the ceremony returns with many doubts about who will be able to win the highest individual award in world football.
In the last 15 years between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo they have mostly dominated this award for the best footballer in the world. In fact, after the Croatian won it Luka Modric in 2018, ending a decade of hegemony between Messi and CR7, it was the Argentine who won it again in 2019, and could win his seventh golden ball on November 29.
However, there are strong candidates such as the German Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappé or
Karim Benzema
, which are also shaping up to raise the prestigious award.
