The winner of the Men's Ballon d'Or goes to the best male player voted by a panel of soccer journalists representing the top 100 countries in the FIFA Men's Rankings.

The Ballon d'Or ceremony will be held on Oct. 28, 2024.

For the first time since 2003, though, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were not included among the nominees!

As of 2024, Lionel Messi had won the Ballon d'Or more times than any other player in the world, with eight awards in total. His most recent Ballon d’Or was awarded in 2023 following his first ever World Cup win with Argentina. Meanwhile, Messi’s professional rival Cristiano Ronaldo has won the award five times, the last time coming in 2017. Who is Lionel Messi? Born in Rosario in 1987, Lionel Messi is one of the most talented soccer players in the history of the sport. Looking at the teams Messi contributed the most to in terms of trophies, his heroics at Barcelona stand well above the rest. In 2023, Messi signed a two-year contract with American club Inter Miami. His influence was immediately felt online, with Inter Miami’s social media following surging following the announcement of Messi’s imminent arrival. Messi vs. Ronaldo Few can compare to the Argentinian when it comes to ability, but Cristiano Ronaldo is certainly part of the discussion. Ronaldo’s awards are every bit as impressive as Messi’s, with the former having won more UEFA Champions League titles. Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo is the player with the highest combined social media following worldwide, with around 300 thousand more followers than Messi as of February 2023. Ronaldo was also the highest paid athlete worldwide in the 2023/24 season, earning significantly higher than Messi in terms of salary, but slightly less in endorsements.

In 2024, Manchester City midfielder Rodri was awarded the men's Ballon d'Or. This was the fourth time the award was won by a Spaniard. The previous year had seen Lionel Messi pick up his eighth Ballon d'Or on the back of winning the FIFA World Cup with Argentina.

Context

The FIFA Ballon D'Or (Golden Ball) is a trophy for the best football player in the calendar year. The awarding was canceled in 2020 due to a pandemic, and this year there are several players who stand out in odds of winning the prize. Messi won Copa America, Lewandowski broke the record of Gerd Muller of goals scored in Bundesliga, Jorginho won Champions League and Euro, Salah is in amazing form in the outgoing season, etc...

On the 8. October, the list of 30 finalists was revealed. The announcement of the winner will be held in Paris on 29. November.

Content

I created a dataset containing statistics of each of the 30 candidates. In the dataset are included both matches from clubs as well as from national competitions.

Inspiration

As the ceremony approaches, it is increasingly interesting to predict who will win the most prestigious individual award in football? Can numbers give that answer?

The men's Ballon d'Or has been awarded since 1956, with Rodri picking up the most recent trophy in 2024. This was the midfielder's first Ballon d'Or, coming after a successful EURO 2024 campaign with Spain and a fourth consecutive Premier League title with Manchester City.

It is widely assumed that celebrities are imbued with political capital and the power to move opinion. To understand the sources of that capital in the specific domain of sports celebrity, we investigate the popularity of global soccer superstars. Specifically, we examine players’ success in the Ballon d’Or – the most high profile contest to select the world’s best player. Based on historical election results as well as an original survey of soccer fans, we find that certain kinds of players are significantly more likely to win the Ballon d’Or. Moreover, we detect an increasing concentration of votes on these kinds of players over time, suggesting a clear and growing hierarchy in the competition for soccer celebrity. Further analyses of support for the world’s two best players in 2016 (Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo) show that, if properly adapted, political science concepts like partisanship have conceptual and empirical leverage in ostensibly non-political contests.

In 2024, Aitana Bonmatí won the women's Ballon d'Or for the second time in as many years. Bonmatí's Spain teammate Alexia Putellas has also picked up the award on two occasions.

Since he made his first team debut for FC Barcelona in 2003, Lionel Messi has won numerous trophies for club and country. With the Argentine squad, Messi won the FIFA World Cup in 2022. He was also able to lift the Copa América with his team in 2021.

Elite rivalry There are few players with the accolades to rival Messi’s trophy cabinet and Cristiano Ronaldo stands above the rest. With more than one hundred awards to his name, the Portuguese forward is recognized alongside the Argentinian as being among soccer’s global elite. Their dominance within the sport can be underscored by the number of Ballon D’Or trophies between them. Messi and Ronaldo have won the prestigious award seven and five times, respectively.

Argentina’s soccer heroes
While Lionel Messi is the all-time leading goal scorer for Argentina, the South American squad has produced many legendary players throughout its history. Notable mentions include Diego Maradona, who won four international trophies with the national team, and Gabriel Batistuta, who is also one of the leading all-time goal scorers at the FIFA World Cup tournaments.
