Following Lionel Messi's record-breaking Ballon d'Or win in December 2019, thoughts are already turning to the 2020 edition as the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Virgil van Dijk and Kylian Mbappe set their sights on the prestigious award.
Barcelona icon Messi became the first player in history to win six Ballons d'Or, the key man again as Barcelona won La Liga.
Van Dijk missed out despite bringing the Champions League back to Anfield and mounting a blistering Premier League title push, while Juventus' Ronaldo pipped Van Dijk's team-mates Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah into third after winning Serie A and the UEFA Nations League.
