BIG NAMES MISS OUT
Erling Haaland, Vinícius Jr., Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane headline the list of high-profile names who have failed to crack the Ballon d’Or 2025 top 10. Despite impressive seasons, they now watch on as the final countdown begins for the ultimate award.

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
The spotlight now shifts to the top 10, with Ousmane Dembélé tipped to lift the golden ball. The big question remains: will the PSG forward live up to the hype and be crowned the world’s best at tonight’s ceremony?
