Fifa has announced the shortlist for this year's Fifa Ballon d'Or trophy, with 23 men who were selected by their football committee as well as by experts from the magazine France Football. Containing 12 players who are home to La Liga, this year's list is seeing a Spanish domination with two-times winner Lionel Messi, who on monday already grabbed the European Golden Shoe award for scoring 50 La Liga goals last season, being eager to score his third consecutive award. Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to be a strong contender for the prestigious prize as well, having played a big role in his side's championship win last season with the help of fellow nominees Mesut Ozil, Iker Casillas, Karim Benzema, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos. The final decisions will be made by the captains and coaches of the national teams and international media representatives, leading into the announcement of the next three finalists on November 29 at a press conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
