Here is the list of 30 players nominated for the Ballon D’Or award earlier this week. The trophy will be officially presented on December 3. Spanish based players dominate the shortlist with almost half the players (14) playing in La Liga. The Premiership has the second highest number of representatives at 11, but weirdly enough, there’s no player plying their trade in Germany on this list. 3 Ligue 1 players and two from Serie A complete the shortlist.
30 player shortlist: Aguero, Alisson, Bale, Benzema, Cavani, Courtois, Cristiano Ronaldo, De Bruyne, Firmino, Godin, Griezmann, Hazard, Isco, Kane, Kante, Lloris, Mandzukic, Mane, Marcelo, Mbappe, Messi, Modric, Neymar, Oblak, Pogba, Rakitic, Ramos, Salah, Suarez, Varane
