Hmm, this is difficult question. Let's see my list:
- ~~Ronaldo~~
- ~~Messi~~
- ~~Neymar~~
Failed at UCL and WC so a big no.

- ~~van Dijk, potential UCL winner~~
A defender.

- ~~Modric, WC runner up~~
- ~~Hazard, WC 3rd pos, good EPL stats~~
No trophies

- Mbappe, WC & Ligue 1 winner, Ligue 1 top goalscorer
- Salah, EPL top goalscorer & potential UCL winner
So between these two strikers, I would recommend Mbappe

The award should go to the best player, it doesn't matter how well their team performs. This is a team sport, You can be the best player in the world but there is only so much you can do when there are 10 other people on the field with you. I would still give it to Ronaldo.

Messi is my #1 candidate. Won the league title and was the top goalscorer of La Liga and Champions League, he also has the chance of winning the league cup tomorrow, and is close to winning the European Golden Boot...The guy literally carried Barcelona on his back this season with outstanding performances. Plus, he'll also play in the Copa America, if he wins this trophy, he'll 100% win the Ballon d'Or.

There's also van Dijk. Key player in Liverpool, with a lot great performances throughout the season. If he wins the CL and also the UEFA Nanations League, then it's very likely that he'll be a strong candidate.

Last but not least, there's Mané, pretty good 2nd half of the season with some poor performances here and there. Also Salah, but same as Mané, decent first half of the season, 2nd half was better, both finished as top goalscorer of the EPL...If both win the CL, one of them will probably enter the top 3 nominees but will probably not win it if van Dijk and Messi are also among the top 3.

Btw, some of you are saying Mbappe? is this for real or are you guys just joking? I can't tell Huh

who will be able to make messi get the Ballon D'or I think only if he gets the Copa America Cup, if only the number of goals I think the criteria is not enough. The dominance of C. Ronaldo & Messi must end in the race for the Ballon D'or, I think this year it's time for new players to get that individual award like Ballon D'Or.

Just for the heads up, The last summer world cup will definitely not be taken into consideration, neither should it have any impact whatsoever in deciding which player should get this year's Ballon D'Or, The world cup was only influential in last year's edition which Luka Modric had won earlier this year.

Messi for me is still the standout candidate eligible for the prize and Barcelona's slump in the champions league shouldn't not deprive him of that, Mbappe also had a great season too but that was only in the ligue 1, Sadio Mane is another I consider very brilliant this season, he was decisive for Liverpool all through the season.

Gerard Pique.

Are you Serious? Gerard Pique?
Without being baised, I would Pick Van Dijk or the wonder kid of Ajax De Ligt over Pique any day. Is there anything Extraordinary Pique did this season?

Definitely champions league and Nations competitions carry a lot of weight when it comes to picking the winners so before we know the winners of the CL trophy. Here are my picks for the top candidates.
- Mbappe ( World cup winner)
- Salah (Still has to play African cup of nations to play)
- Mane (Still has to play African cup of nations to play)
- Messi (still has COPA America to play)

Final results of all that and the outcomes of UCL winner could change the tide.

I also think Pique is not worthy of being a candidate who won the Ballon D'or, if the chosen one from the defender I think Van Dijk is more feasible because this season he appeared impressive and brought Liverpool to be a UCL Finalist and also runner up in the Premier League. We will see who are the strong candidates who will win the Ballon D'or after UCL ends.

A strong candidate for the Ballon D'or that is widely reported is Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gerard Pique. The candidate is certainly just a prediction of many people. If we look at the extraordinary this season, of course Mbappe & Lionel Messi. It seems like the Champions League is not very influential on the Ballon D'or. So that's what I think is a strong candidate for this trophy.

I think that Lionel Messi should win this year's Ballon D'or trophy. He made 50 goals this season, 36 of them in La Liga that he also won with Real Madrid.

If Salah wons UCL, Mbappe will be out of the list.Since Copa America is ahead so A big factor will be copa America.IMO If messi can win Copa this year probably he will take the Ballon D'or.

Yup, Messi also still has the opportunity to get the Ballon D'Or because so far only he has a lot of Goals among all the candidates who are on the condition that he must win the Cup for his country.

big names like Ronaldo & Messi, in my opinion this year are not worthy of being a Ballon D'or winner because they both failed to bring their team to win UCL, you recommend Mbappe that makes perfect sense because they won the World Cup but if Liverpool won the UCL this year I think " M.Salah "has the chance to get it.

The Champions League is almost over, the interesting thing to talk about next is Who will get the Ballon D'or trophy? We know before that the strong candidates for the title are Lionel Messi & De Jong because the Barcelona and Ajax teams have the chance to win Trible but now Barcelona & Ajax are not competing in the UCL Finals. Who do you think the decent players will get the best player title?
