What do you make of the shortlist?

 

Who do you think will win?

Domestically - it should be Suarez go question.

 

But it will be Ronaldo.

I'd be massively shocked if it wasn't Ronaldo given he won the Champions League & Euros. It's only allowed to be him or Messi anyway!

Ronaldo has this in the bag I think. Fantastic achievement for Jamie Vardy & Riyad Mahrez to be nominated for this, especially Vardy who has gone from a factory worker to non-league footballer to Premier League champion and record goal scorer in the space of a few years.

 

 

Claudio Ranieri should win the coach of the year award I think.

It'll be Ronaldo with winning the Champions League and Euro 2016.

Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'or for the fourth time after finishing ahead of Lionel Messi. Antoine Griezmann finished 3rd, Gareth Bale finished 6th, Riyad Mahrez finished 7th & Jamie Vardy finished 8th.

 

 

Predictable but deserved winner in Ronaldo but wow at the two Leicester players! Jamie Vardy in particular.
