There was no mention about the position of Nigerian star, Ademola Lookman, who was the only African player to make the shortlist.

After scoring in the final of the UEFA Champions League to seal a 24-goal season to help Real Madrid to European and LaLiga honours, Vinicius was seen as the most likely candidate to cart away the award.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti had already alluded to Vinicius being the most deserving player for the award after his incredible hat-trick against Borussia Dortmund and was backed up in that sentiment by Barcelona defender Inigo Martinez, and Brazilian great Neymar.
