The verdict fell. Monday, September 23, on the occasion of its now traditional evening "The Best", Fifa has unveiled the name of the player of the year. An individual trophy awarded to Argentina's Lionel Messi, Spanish champion with FC Barcelona.

He is ahead of Dutchman Virgil van Dijk, winner of the Champions League with the English club Liverpool, who most likely pays his job on the pitch - he is a defender - and the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.
