Since 1956, the Ballon d'Or has been a prize steeped in prestige. But it's not without its fair share of controversy, either. Over the years, plenty have taken exception to the voting of the prize not least Real Madrid, who cancelled their delegation last year upon learning that Vinicius wasn't winning the award. So with the 2025 full standings revealed, have France Football delivered another dud?

Arsenal managed to level the match in the 21st minute through Frida Maanum. Beth Mead managed to pick Maanum out with a brilliant pass, which went through the legs of Oona Siren, and the Norwegian midfielder smashed the ball past Megan Walsh. The Gunners then made a quick start to the second half as Stina Blackstenius found the bottom-left corner following a backheel assist from Russo in the 52nd minute, before Caitlin Foord headed home from Mariona Caldentey's cross 10 minutes later.

Dare mention Alessia Russo was a good pick for player of the match after her three assists against the Netherlands, and you will be accused of being influenced by PRusso.

Salah's 28 goals and 18 assists this season helped Liverpool clinch the Premier League title, making him a standout player with record-breaking contributions.
