It is likely to mark the end of an era.
Karim Benzema is the overwhelming favorite to win the Ballon d’Or on Monday, and the Real Madrid star’s expected success could finally signal the end of the stranglehold Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have had on the award. Either Messi or Ronaldo have won the Ballon d’Or 12 of the 13 times the prestigious trophy has been awarded in the last 14 years – including sharing it 10 consecutive years between 2008 and 2017 – with Luka Modric the only player to win it during that time frame in 2018.
For the women’s award, a trio of England’s Euro 2022 winning side – Millie Bright, Beth Mead and Lucy Bronze – headline the nominations while Barcelona and Spain star Alexia Putellas is in the running to win the Ballon d’Or Feminin for the second consecutive year, despite not playing since suffering an injury ahead of last summer’s Euros.
