The Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Xavi and Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid are the three finalists FIFA Golden Ball award from last year jointly awarded FIFA and the magazine France Football. This is the second time this trio of cracks monopolize the podium of the controversial prize, as they did in the edition of 2009 (1 º: Messi, 2: CR7; 3: Xavi).

To Messi this is the fifth consecutive nomination, having been third in 2007, second in 2008 (both times just one spot behind Christian), and first in the last two editions. If you re winning, like almost everyone predicts will be the fourth player in history to get three golden balls, as did Cruyff (71, 73 and 74), Platini (82, 83 and 84) and Van Basten (88, 89 and 92), also it would be the second in a row, like the current president of the UEFA , And surpass them all in their early maturity 24 years insulting.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the fourth time he is nominated as one of the three best players of the year. In 2007 Kaka fell behind in 2008 was the winner and in 2009 was again second, after Messi. Absent last year, this issue becomes a finalist, but seems not to have a good chance to unseat his nemesis Argentina. Of the nine finalists of the last three years, only Christian has broken the hegemony of Barcelona, ​​twice, the other seven, all Blaugrana.

Meanwhile, Xavi Hernandez is the third consecutive year that is in the top 3: in 2009 was after the Flea and CR7 and last year shared the podium with his fellow Messi and Iniesta. Having not won last year carrying the band director of the national team playing the world champion, it seems that this year is going to collect what they owe ...

Since last year's Golden Ball France Football joined the FIFA World Player, in addition to reward the best player of the year, also does the same with the coaches in both areas in both male and female side, in addition to Puskás Award for the best goal of the year of which I just spoke to Gabriel.

In 2010 Jose Mourinho was named the Best Coach Cup, thanks to the treble of League, Cup and Champions League with Inter Milan, ahead of Vicente del Bosque, coach of newly crowned world champion, and Pep Guardiola, who in 2010 had won the Spanish League. In this year Mou (who in 2011 won the Cup and reached the semifinals of Champions) and Pep (League, Champions League, Super Cup runners-up Spain and Europe and the Copa del Rey) repeat as finalists with Alex Ferguson, who During last won the Premiership and Champions League finalist. Guardiola suggests the pools because it seems that this award only caters almost achieved during the year honors.
