QUIZ: Can you name every Ballon d'Or winner since 1990?
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated the standings, but can you name the other Ballon d'Or winning stars?
Held every year, the Ballon d’Or celebrates the top performer in world football across the previous 12 months.
It is gone under various different names and guises over the years since it was founded by France Football in 1956, but always with the same objective - to crown football’s greatest player.
During the first three decades of the award, the winning roll was dominated by top European clubs that remain powerhouses to this day.
Alfredo Di Stefano won the award twice with Real Madrid, Johan Cruyff three times with Ajax and Barcelona, and Michel Platini three times with Juventus.
