After an exceptional 2017 for all three individuals, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Neymar are the three finalists for ‘The Best’ award run by FIFA.

 

 

Ronaldo is the current holder after his exploits with Portugal and Real Madrid in 2016, and his contributions to Los Blancos’ LaLiga and Champions League winning campaigns ensure he is the favourite to take home the prize yet again.

 

 

Messi didn’t have comparable team honours to show for his work in 2017, but the Argentinian finished as the top scorer in Spain with 35 goals.

 

 

He represents Ronaldo’s fiercest competition for the winning of the award.

 

 

Most of the recent headlines surrounding Neymar have been about his world record, 222 million euro transfer to Paris Saint-Germain, rather than his on-pitch exploits.

 

 

With that being said, the Brazilian enjoyed a productive calendar year and was pivotal to Barcelona in Messi’s absence.

 

 

He is a finalist for the trophy although it is isn’t expected he will be able to break the duopoly of the two icons just yet.
