This year, Real Madrid's Karim Benzema is the favourite to win the award as he guided the Spanish giants to the UEFA Champions League and LaLiga title last season. Shockingly, 7-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi didn't make it to the top 30 list of the nominees for the Ballon d'Or 2022 award.

However, for the year 2022, the Argentinia player is not on the list of the final 30 players. Things have not been easy for Messi, since his transfer to PSG as he has managed to score just 11 goals which are the lowest since 2005-06. In 34 matches he has just 15 assists to his name.
