Journalists pick their Ballon d'Or favourites, see who made the shortlist 🥇 | OneFootball

The French newspaper Le Parisien released a survey on Friday (11) with journalists from 12 countries about the FAVORITES for the Ballon d'Or.

The number of respondents (12) is nowhere near the number of journalists who actually choose the Ballon d'Or winner (100).

The French star scored 155 points - following the scoring criteria used in the Ballon d'Or.

Striker Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) took the silver medal, with 127 points.

And midfielder Vitinha (PSG) completed the podium in the survey, with 100 points.

Salah (Liverpool) only came in fifth place. And Mbappé (Real Madrid), in seventh.

Raphinha was the best Brazilian in the survey conducted by Le Parisien - the Barça star came in ninth place, with 16 points.
