Who will win Ballon d'Or 2018? Messi, Ronaldo & the favourites, outsiders, underdogs & latest odds
Messi and Ronaldo both have five Ballons d'Or apiece, so who could win the award this year to break up their decade-long dominance?
The Ballon d'Or 2018 award will mark precisely 10 years since Cristiano Ronaldo first scooped up the award in 2008, leading to an entire decade of him and Messi solely dominating the trophy as both winners and runners-up.

Messi and Ronaldo crashing out early in Russia has led to other stars to establish themselves as Ballon d'Or contenders. But who are the favourites to win the trophy, and who are the underdogs to claim the prize? Goal has all the information.
