Ranked: The chances of the 30 nominees winning the 2019 Ballon d'Or

The 30-man shortlist for the 2019 Balon d’Or has been announced, and one of the 30 players on that list will be given the prestigious annual individual honour by France Football magazine on Monday evening. We’ve taken a look through the entire shortlist and have ranked the chance, in our opinion, of each player winning the award from the least likely (30th) to the most likely (1st).

Hugo Lloris

He’s currently out with a bad injury but Hugo Lloris made some big saves last season as Spurs made it to the Champions League final. However, he’s not even the best goalkeeper nominated so the chances of him winning are slim!

Marquinhos

Marquinhos had a very good year with PSG as they dominated French football yet again. He also played a part in Brazil’s Copa America win but it’s unlikely that he’ll feature near the top of the voting.

Karim Benzema

Real Madrid had a relatively poor season but even so, Karim Benzema made the 30-man shortlist but he’s not likely to get close to winning.
