Top 5 players who have the best chance of winning the Ballon d'Or

#2 Antoine Griezmann

Antoine Greizmann

The French forward has gone on to establish himself as one of the best in the business and is perhaps the best striker in the modern world, other than the duopoly. He was a key part of the French team that lifted the World Cup this year as he scored 4 goals and assisted twice in 7 games. These performances helped him bag the Silver Boot and the Bronze Ball.

The Atletico Madrid star scored 29 goals and contributed in 15 more in 49 appearances last season. He is definitely ahead of Messi and Ronaldo due to the World Cup exploits and significant performances with his club. If luck favors him, he could have a Ballon d'Or in his hands on the day of the gala.
