Today, France Football has revealed its list of 30 nominees for the Ballon d'Or, which will be awarded next October 26.

Messi in, CR7 out

Without a doubt, the biggest surprise of the day has been, on one hand, the nomination of Leo Messi, who year after year continues to be among the 30. And on the other, Cristiano’s absence, as he has now gone 4 straight years without being included in the France Football award.
