Ballon d’Or ceremony should award the best player of the previous season, with the event taking place on Monday in Paris.

Lionel Messi was the heavy favorite for Ballon d’Or.

However, those suspicions confirmed today. It looks like Messi is heading for his sixth award.

An anonymous Twitter source leaked the results. One of the most surprising is that Ronaldo is below Mohamed Salah, and Sadio Mane – who had an incredible season – is below both of them.

Many reliable sources already proclaimed Messi as a winner, too. Additionally, the future also looks bright, with Mbappe, De Jong, and De Ligt all making it into the top 10.

As things stand, the Argentinian will finally get the well-deserved accolade.
