The winners were made aware of the name of the winner

It may be necessary to be attentive to the Twitter accounts of the winners of the Ballon d'Or. Well, there is very little chance that the info leaked on social networks, but one thing is certain: the 30 competitors at the Ballon d'Or 2018 were kept informed of the name of the winner. It's the editor-in-chief of France FootballPascal Ferré, who unveiled the information during a chat on the Twitter account of the French weekly. "It's simple as a phone call. The laureates were warned by me. I called them, "he simply explained.

In addition to the men's Golden Ball, the winners of the Women's Golden Ball and the winner of the Raymond Kopa Trophy (best young under 21) have also been put in the know. "I do not hide that it was moving in most cases to hear their reaction," continued Pascal Ferré. All we have to do is wait for the verdict on December 3rd. Or search on Twitter accounts, so.
