In the next 24 hours, we'll know which stars have earned their place on the prestigious nominee list. And on October 30th, Paris will host a soirée that'll make even the Eiffel Tower jealous – the Ballon d'Or gala!
But hold your horses; we've got some plot twists to share. Remember Cristiano Ronaldo? Well, he's packed his bags and waved goodbye to Manchester United, opting for a desert adventure in the Saudi Arabian league. Maybe he wanted to work on his tan! ☀️
So, Ronaldo won't be competing this time, leaving the Ballon d'Or podium without its charming smile.
Then there's Messi, who ditched Paris for a sunny MLS adventure in the USA earlier this year. Yep, he's kicking it on American soil now, but don't worry, he's still in the Ballon d'Or race!
Alongside Messi, we've got Kylian Mbappé, who's still dazzling for PSG, Kevin De Bruyne, the midfield maestro from Manchester City, and Erling Haaland, the goal-scoring sensation also repping Manchester City. They're all ready to bring the thunder.
Who would've thought the Ballon d'Or would turn into a "Manchester City vs. the World" showdown? 🌎💥
The nominee announcement will soon set social media on fire, with fans passionately defending their favorites.

As we count down to the October 30th award ceremony in the City of Love, Paris, the anticipation is palpable. Who's gonna snag the Ballon d'Or this time? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – it's going to be a grand reveal, filled with surprises, goals, and maybe even a few laughs.
