Ballon d’Or 2017: How, What, Who, When and Where
The 2017 Ballon d’Or is here and yet again like they had done in previous awards, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are at it again.
Either way, it would be another day in history for both super talented footballers. If Lionel Messi wins the award he would be claiming his 6th Ballon d’Or title while a victory for Cristiano Ronaldo will take him level with Lionel Messi on 5.

The Ballon d’Or is the award given to the best player in the world.
