The “Golden Ball”, intended for the best player in 2021, will be awarded with a solemn ceremony in Paris tonight.
The ceremony in Paris is scheduled for 20 hours and 30 minutes, and in addition to the “Golden Ball” in both competitions, awards will be given for the best young football player, as well as for the best goalkeeper.
Paris Saint-Germain’s football player, Lionel Messi, who has won this laureate six times, has the best chance to take a valuable trophy tonight.
Messi led Argentina to the South American title this summer, the only trophy he missed in his career.
Robert Lewandowski, who has been one of the best strikers in the world for years, has a serious chance to endanger him tonight.
In addition to the two mentioned, there are 28 other players on the list (Jorginho, Ronaldo, Salah, Benzema, Mbappe), but it is unlikely that any of them could reach the award this year.
Last year, the Ballon d’Or was not awarded due to the coronavirus pandemic.
