Every Player Messi and Ronaldo Voted for in FIFA Best and Ballon d'Or Awards
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's votes for the FIFA Best and Ballon d'Or awards have been revealed.
Over the years, Messi and Ronaldo have dominated the individual awards.
The pair have a combined total of 13 Ballon d'Or awards, with Messi winning eight and Ronaldo winning five.
However, as they approach the latter stages of their careers, neither superstar was among the Ballon d'Or nominees in 2024.

That year, Manchester City star Rodri took home the award, with Paris Saint Germain star Ousmane Dembele winning this year's trophy.
Although the Ballon d'Or is now voted for by journalists, Messi and Ronaldo did get the chance to vote at one stage.
When the France Football accolade merged with FIFA, Messi and Ronaldo did not pick one another.
A few years later, Messi voted for Ronaldo in the FIFA Best Awards, placing him in his top three in 2018 and 2019.
Ronaldo would return the favour a year on, putting Messi second in his top three for 'The Best', which was won by Robert Lewandowski.
On Tuesday night, Dembele is looking to secure the double crown as the 2025 FIFA Best Awards ceremony takes place in Doha, Qatar. Barcelona star Aitana Bonmati is also looking to win the female version of the award.
