It's a fairly obvious one, but if Cristiano Ronaldo wins the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia with Portugal, he'll be the first ever reigning Ballon d'Or champion to do so. Plenty of players have won the Ballon d'Or as a result of winning the World Cup, but no player has ever arrived as the Ballon d'Or holder and won the World Cup.

The closest a footballer has come before was in 1994 and 1998, with Roberto Baggio and Ronaldo Nazario having won the Ballon d'Or in 1993 and 1997 respectively, but suffered heartbreaking defeats with Italy and Brazil in the final of the FIFA World Cup.

This is the one trophy that will cement Cristiano Ronaldo's status as the world's best, and we can be sure that he will be pulling all stops to ensure A Selecao win silverware yet again after their Euro 2016 triumph.
