A Champions League winner and PFA player of the year, but could Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk's stellar 2019 get a whole lot better? The Dutchman is odds-on favourite to win this year's Ballon d'Or - and told BBC Sport: "If I am rewarded for the season I had that would be unbelievable and I would be so proud." Should he win? And who else is in the running? We take a look... Who usually wins the Ballon d'Or? Luka Modric won the Ballon d'Or last year, beating former club-mate Cristiano Ronaldo and two men who beat him in the World Cup final The Ballon d'Or - the award for the world's best player - traditionally used to change hands most years - until the 10-year stranglehold that 6-4 second favourite Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo (five years each) had from 2008 to 2017. That ended last year with Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric lifting football's most prestigious individual trophy after a Champions League final success and Croatia's run to the World Cup final. So what do recent winners have in common? Usually they are forwards or creative midfielders - and normally they have just won the Champions League. The last defender to win was Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro in 2006 after leading the Azzurri to World Cup glory. Since then, nine of the 12 winners (well, four names - Kaka, Ronaldo, Messi and Modric) have won the Champions League that season. The only exceptions have been for outstanding goalscoring campaigns - Messi's 91 goals in 2012 and 60 in 2010, and Ronaldo's 66 in 2013. In theory, the award is for a calendar year but it is mostly the previous campaign that is taken into consideration, with the shortlist usually named in October and winner announced in December.

Beverlyjean: Just hear yourself. Ronaldo goals kept them going, by dropping a disaster class in the league. If Ronaldo goals kept them going, it means that's why he keeps standing out. So don't cry because Messi stood out this season even with the disappointment of barca. |

Messi scored 70 goals in all competition and Cristiano Ronaldo scored 38 goals. And he scored that goal playing as a playmaker (attacking midfielder) compared to Cristiano who's an out and out striker. Talking about throwing away a lead, what about Juventus who were beaten at home by a young and inexperienced Ajax team? At least, Barca defended the homecourt but Juve can't even defend their homecourt! Which is worse O pari Beverlyjean: 1 Like |

Beverlyjean:Piatek was new in the SerieA too and still top Ronaldo in goals. .. Don't say that Ronaldo is older because 36 years old Quagrilera was the golden boot winner in that Oldies League!! Did Piatek or Quagrilera win any trophy, no. If Higuain can win a double in Juventus as their target man. Either Piatek or Quagrilera would surely win the SerieA with Juventus... Juventus has won 7 consecutive league titles without Ronaldo. That SerieA win is nothing special!! It is just like PSG winning the Ligue1!!! I think FIFA want to calm Ronaldo after what Modric did to him last season!!! But it should not be at the expense of Allison and Bernaldo Silva!!! Ronaldo was hiding in Juventus until the Semi final of the UEFA Nations League tho.. . Boom, he won for club and country.. What a short cut to success!!! I pity Bernaldo Silva tho... He will never be rewarded as the best Portugal player!!! 1 Like |

Evangkatsoulis: Let me ask you a question! About the player of the season, do you agree that was given to him because of marketing and more exposure he brought to Seria A and someone else should have won it? If you think he deserve it, why? You said he scored all of Juve knockout stage goals? What was he doing in the Group stage? I remember he scored just 1 goal.... If others didn't score, will they even qualify for knockout stage?

Can you imagine this kind of injustice? Three Liverpool players that only won just one champions league are all present in the list.... Even Harry Keane that won no single trophy and wasn't even important in the champions league progression and wasn't even a highest goal scorer is there in the list.... even Small boys who knew nothing about the game(de ligte and dejong) are there............BUT THE ALMIGHTY BENARDO SILVA the best player in the world according to guardiolar, the man who single handedly won Portugal Europe trophy and was the best player of the tornament, ...mancity best player of the season for an all conquering and all winning mancity side..the only player who won five trophies for both club and country last season..... and yet he wasn't on this list. What kind of evil eufa and fifa list is this?... Mark my word, mancity will keep on winning until fifa and eufa repent 1 Like |

Evangkatsoulis:Serie A player of the season for coming 4th in goal chart and coming 3rd in assist chart in the same SerieA!!! The SerieA should be ashamed of themselves.. They give Ronaldo that award at the expense of an Italian who had an excellent tournament (Quagrilera will never be better than he was last season!!) just because of CR7 fame power.. Juventus will win SerieA even if Ronaldo decide to play only the UCL throughout the season... Higuain has done it for them in the previous season.. SerieA win by Juventus should not affect the deserved rewards of Quagrilera for his fantastic season!! He deserves to be the SerieA best player ahead of Ronaldo! (26 goals 8 assists) is better than (21 goals 8 assists) obviously!!! 1 Like |
