There is one award that all young soccer players dream of having, and it is the Ballon d’Or, the award that is given to the best soccer player every year.

There are 30 nominees this year, and many of them are top-class players. Each deserves to be there, but not everyone should win it. Let’s go over the top five that should win it.

The fifth is Martin Odegaard. He has had a great season, scoring 13 goals in 34 games, which is impressive because he played in the premiere league, which is one of the most elite leagues. He has shown his great dribbling and passing abilities while playing.

Number four is Lionel Messi. He is one of the best soccer players of his generation, and has the best dribbling abilities ever seen and revolutionized the game. He is also a great goal scorer!

Number three is Vinicius Junior. He has had a great season and a very impressive Champions League season, winning the whole thing! Junior has won seven trophies, including the top goal scorer, which is very good for a 23-year-old player.

Number two is Neymar (Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior). Neymar is considered one of the best Brazilians of all time, and inspires many people to play the Brazilian way, which is cracking people’s ankles with moves so clean that he could be in a Mr. Clean commercial. He has racked up some goals as well, scoring 140 goals in 240 princes.

Number one is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been considered the greatest of all time (GOAT), and there is no doubt that he should be considered for that title, as he is the best scorer ever with 859 goals in 1188 matches, and has created one of the best-shot techniques; the knuckleball. He overall should win the Ballon d’Or.
