Since its inception in 1956, the Ballon d'Or has celebrated the best football player annually, with Ronaldo and Messi dominating until recent years.
This year's ceremony is notable as it features no former winners, suggesting potential for fresh talent to emerge as the new favorite.
Vinicius Junior is the current bookies' favorite, but his focus on El Clasico the day before the ceremony might influence his performance.
The Ballon d'Or ceremony will take place in Paris at the Theatre du Chatelet, reinforcing the tradition of this prestigious event being held in France.
