Like the Golden Ball which will be awarded on October 17, Karim Benzema is obviously the big favorite to win this trophy.

He has just had an exceptional season, scoring 44 goals in 46 games in all competitions last year, becoming the second top scorer in the history of Real Madrid, and adding four trophies to his list (Champions League, La Liga, Spanish Super Cup and European Super Cup on Wednesday against Frankfurt).

By the way, Thibaut Courtois himself assured, just after the coronation in the European Supercup: "Only Benzema deserves the Golden Ball".

The ranking from 4th place to 15th place was also revealed.

Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich, now Barcelona) and Luka Modrić (Real Madrid) complete the top 5. The two Liverpool strikers Sadio ManĂ© and Mohamed Salah finish 7th and 8th respectively.

Kylian Mbappé finishes in 8th place.
