Latest Ballon d’Or Power Rankings After Euro 2020 & Copa America – Top 10 Favorites
As you would expect, Lionel Messi sits at the top of our Ballon d’Or power rankings after winning his first international trophy, Copa America.
The Argentine was named the best player of the tournament, having contributed 4 goals and 5 assists in 7 games.
He is followed by Gigi Donnarumma. The Italian goalie makes his first appearance in our rankings as Italy’s Euro 2020 triumph propels him right into second place. The 22-year-old was absolutely phenomenal in penalty shoot-outs against Spain and England.
The top three is completed by N’Golo Kante. Despite France’s disappointing Euros campaign, the Chelsea man had a fantastic season with the club, playing a crucial part in the Blues’ Champions League victory.
While Jorginho is another new name in the top 5. The 29-year-old bossed the midfield for Italy and Chelsea, and while he missed the penalty in Euros final shoot-out, he is very much in running for the Ballon d’Or.
