Leo Messi won his sixth Golden Ball yesterday at a gala held in Paris . The FC Barcelona forward beat Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk central and Cristiano Ronaldo in the final vote, who completed the podium ahead of the attacker 'red' Sadio Mané .

The most 'original', so to speak, was the Sri Lankan journalist, whose podium was formed by Liverpool side Alexander-Arnold , Arsenal striker Aubameyang and Antoine Griezmann .

Another of the 'originals', although somewhat less than Sri Lanka, was Ivory Coast , which chose Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson , also winner of the Yashin trophy for the best goalkeeper of the year. In second position Mané and third Mahrez , the midfielder of Manchester CIty.
