In recent years the winners of the Ballon d'or have been produced by the team that won the Champions league and their domestic league cups
The Ballon d'or is creeping slowly and we are just left with less than a month to October 28th when the best player in the world will be revelaed.
Among the nominees are players from Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, Aston Villa, PSG, Bayern Leverkusen, Inter Milan, Athletic Club, Roma, Borrusia Dortmund and Atalanta.
Real Madrid has the most nominees (7) but Mbappe joined the team just a few months ago so voting for him will be based on his performance before joining Real Madrid.

For the third time in history of the award, it will be given based on the results of the season instead of the calendar year.
This is the period from 1st August 2023 to 31st July 2024. This means the award will be given to the best player of the previous season.
When you look at the winners of the Champions League and look at the player who won the Ballon d'OR for that year, you will notice that the teams that won the champions league produced the winners of the prestigious individual accolade.
In 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 the award was won between Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric.

In these years, despite the winner being based on the calendar year performance, their teams had already won the Champions League and their domestic cups or completed a treble.
In 2020, the award was cancelled because due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in that year Robert Lewandowski was the top candidate for the prize. The football world all clamoured that he was robbed.
Last season, Real Madrid secured their 15th Champions League trophy and the 36th La Liga title. During this time Vinicius Junior was their best player helping them push through to the Champions League final and even scoring in the final.
Based on this Vinicius is the best possible player to walk away with the Ballon d'Or or any other player from the Real Madrid nominees. What do you think?
