Surprisingly low?

Another PSG man in, with more to follow...

Unlucky for some? At 13...

The atmosphere is building in the French capital.

The Champions League final Man of the Match is ranked 14th.

A sensational scoring season from the Swede sees him come inside the top half.

After coming so close last year, a long drop for the Real Madrid superstar.

The first Barcelona player to appear so far.

Serie A's MVP and Scotland's star midfielder comes in at 18th.

The PSG procession continues inside the top 20.

It is time for the top 20...

Dortmund's Champions League hero with a high placing.

Do we have a surprise new contender!?

Liverpool are being well represented so far.

The first of many PSG nominees to learn their position...

Another impressive season for the attack-minded wing-back.

A note on the timings for today's ceremony (all times CET - the local time zone).

19:30: Stars will begin to arrive at the Théâtre du Châtelet ahead of the ceremony.

21:00: The Ballon d'Or ceremony will start and the 13 prize winners will be revealed.

The top 20 rankings for the women's Ballon d'Or have been revealed.

Some early results!

Speaking of Vini Jr, as a result of the tension and fallout from last year, Real Madrid will again be absent from the ceremony.

Vinícius Júnior's numbers before and after his Ballon d'Or snub last time out tell quite the story.

Ousmane Dembélé is a big favourite and he is sharply dressed ahead of the gala. Despite PSG playing a rescheduled clash against Marseille at the same time as the ceremony, injury means the winger would not have played a part in any case.

Who are the five favourites to get their hands on the men's award? Let's take a look. Either way, a first time winner is guaranteed.

The main things you need to know before the ceremony are here.
