Among a number of awards up for grabs on the night is the Ballon d’Or, which will go to either Barcelona pair Lionel Messi and Neymar or their El Clasico rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Real Madrid goal machine has won the past two years after three consecutive victories for Messi from 2010 — when it merged with the Fifa World Player of the Year.
This time around, it’s the 28-year-old Argentine star who is favourite to take it once more after racking up 52 goals and 26 assists for the Spanish, European and world champions in the calendar year.
Nominees
Ballon d’Or: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar Women’s World Player of the Year: Carli Lloyd, Aya Miyama, Celia Sasic World Coach of the Year (Men’s): Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique, Jorge Sampaoli World Coach of the Year (Women’s): Jill Ellis, Mark Sampson, Norio Sasaki Puskás Award: Alessandro Florenzi, Wendell Lira, Lionel Messi
