My bad.

It seems this is FIFA's version of world player of the year.

Still a huge trophy nevertheless.

Ronaldo, Modric & Salah - the three best players of last season.

Let the best man win.

The fuss is about if it’s an individual award then why does their teams winning something/reaching a final mean anything in the judging?

Messi was obviously a top 3 player in the world last season, as was Ronaldo. Should’ve been them two nominated plus 1 more

Who cares tho really apparently CR7 isn’t even turning up tonight

Ron isn't turning up because Modric is winning it, thereby breaking the Ron/Messi cycle.

To think that Xavi and Iniesta never won it but Modric..

This award lost all credibility as soon as Henry didn't win.

Considering the other nominees were Schmeichel for some reason and Lloris whos a bit shit, Courtois deserved it

Anyone got a link for Salahs goal?
