So the winner will be chosen through the votes of 154 journalists from the gala and 208 coaches and captains of the combinations that make up FIFA.
The fact that the three finalists belong to the same team is an extraordinary event that had happened only two times since it was granted this distinction, created in 1956. The two previous occasions, the honor went to AC Milan in 1988 and 1999, in both cases the winner was Marco Van Basten, Gullit and Rijkaard with squires the first year and second Rijkaard and Baresi.

In 2009 Xavi Hernandez was third in both awards and ruled Wesley Sneijder, he seemed the favorite but at this point, seeing that he has left out the Dutch, anything can happen. In fact 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' has been advanced that have reliable information that the prize will fall on the figure of Andres Iniesta, but Alberto Cerruti, the Italian environmental journalist and contributor to The BE Chain Stringer said on the radio last night Xavi was not at all ruled out.
