The Ballon d’Or is finally here.

After a crazy 2021-22 season where Real Madrid clinched another Champions League and their 35th LaLiga title, where Manchester City won a fourth Premier League in the last five years, where Lyon shocked Barcelona in the UWCL final and where Senegal was crowned king of Africa, the Ballon d’Or ceremony is coming to award those that dominated and helped their teams succeed throughout the season.

The four awards that will be given out by France Football on Monday, Oct. 17, will be the Yashin Trophy (best goalkeeper), Kopa Trophy (best u-21 men's player) and the men's and women’s Ballon d’Or (best player). As you can see by the title, we’re so anxious to see the winners that we decided to name them on our own.

To decide the winners, we asked The18 staffers to name and rank the players who they think should take the 2022 Ballon d’Or awards home. 

The18’s voting system

Yashin Trophy winner: player with the most votes

Kopa Trophy winner: player with the most votes

Men and women's Ballon d'Or winners: player with the most points

Players placed between first and third place were given points as follows:

  • 1st - 5 points
  • 2nd - 3 points
  • 3rd - 1 point
