Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will once again headline the shortlist for the title of world’s best footballer amongst a 24‑strong list of the world’s best.
The pair, who have dominated the global award in its varied forms for a decade, will be favourites to collect yet another accolade.
Ronaldo enjoyed another remarkable season in which he inspired Real Madrid to a Spanish La Liga and champions League double while Messi topped him in the Spanish goalscoring charts for Barcelona while going past a career landmark of 500 goals for the club.
Othe top players include Neymar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Luis Suarez, Harry Kane and Alexis Sanchez.
