Who has the most right to win the balloon! His achievements in 2018, I do it! Surprise in the TOP 3 – www.sport.ro

This season will mark the end of Messi-Ronaldo's domination of the Golden Bull. Luka Modric, Kylian Mbappe, Raphael Varane, Antoine Griezmann and Mohamed Salah are among the favorites to win the trophy.

Modric, the main contender, has already won the FIFA Best trophy, becoming the first player outside Messi and Ronaldo to win the award from Kaka in 2007.

However, a LeoVegas study determined, based on certain calculations, that Kylian Mbappe was best placed to receive the Golden Ball in 2018, followed by Griezmann and Modric.

The calculation method is based on player scores for various achievements in the last 12 months. Footballers earned four points for winning the World Cup, three points for winning the Champions League and three points for winning an internal competition.

Thus, based on this calculation methodology, Mbappe has collected 12 points in total, knowing that he had won the World Cup with the national team of France, three trophies at the national championship with PSG and that he was twice the man of the match of the World Cup in Russia. .

Antoine Griezmann, who scored 9 points after winning the World Cup with France, won the Europa League with Atletico Madrid and was three times the man of the match in Russia.

Finally, the third place belongs to Luka Modric. The Croatian won 8 points by winning the Champions League trophy, finishing the World Cup in second place with the Croatian national trophy and the honors of the three-man match in the same competition in Russia.

Raphael Varane, Ivan Rakitic, Mario Mandzukic, Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez are among the players with 7 points.

Neymar and Lionel Messi complete the top 10 with 6 points each.

The Golden Ball will be awarded on Monday, December 3rd!
