Who Will Win the Ballon d'Or in 2021? Here's the Full Nominees List.
The Ballon d'Or 2021 will see some of the best players
compete for the prestigious honor, and the present legends of the game,
Cristiano Ronaldo and his bitter competitor Lionel Messi, are among the
favorites. Messi has won the Ballon d'Or six times, while Ronaldo is a close
second with five. Due to the worldwide pandemic, the award ceremony was
cancelled in 2020.
The final 30 nominees for this year's Ballon d'Or have been
released by FIFA. The 30-man list is dominated by Champions League champions
Chelsea and Euro Cup champions Italy.
Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Robert Lewandowski are
among the notables. Among the frontrunners, Lewandowski is thought to have the
greatest chance. This time around, Messi and Ronaldo don't have much a chance.
Kante, Mason Mount, Azpilicueta, Lukaku and Jorginho, all of
Chelsea's Champions League champions, are on the list. Mbabane, Neymar, Salah,
Benzema, De Bruyne, and Bruno Fernandes are among the major names. Pedri, the
