This Friday (8/10), France Football announced the 30 players nominated for the best player in the world. Among some surprises, stamped stickers such as Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland were present. Ederson is in contention for the Yashin award, which honors the best goalkeeper of last season.
Neymar, by the way, is the only Brazilian on this list, which has four Italians, very much driven by the 2020 Euro Cup title. This logic no longer happens between teams. Manchester City, champions of the Champions, had more nominees than Chelsea, the champion, 5×4.

Simon Kjaer is another surprise on this list. Milan’s Danish defender was well known after granting first aid to Christian Eriksen when the midfielder suffered a sudden illness in the Euro Cup.
