The race for a Golden Ball holder heats up and the only two contenders are, obviously, Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi. National team managers & captains and sporting journalists around the globe will decide who will get this prestigious award this year.

One of those who are electing is Neymar, Brazil’s captain, many would say the third best player in the world, just behind his teammate Messi and Ronaldo, and a few would have even thought that Neymar would go for – Ronaldo!?

Messi is probably not going to like this decision…
