Who is going to stand on the podiums of the Ballon d’Or 2021?

As per the last mega-events, this is going to be one of the most awaited events since last year. People are voting for their favourite players as per the record of the goals and previous performances of in the recent seasons. There are different suggestions about which three players of years 2020 and 2021 will be standing on the winning podiums of Ballon d’Or 2021.

Some of the football experts are of the mind that Benzema or Mbappe will be pushing themselves to stand on the podiums of this event but as per the recent performances, most people think that like Ballon d’Or 2019, Lionel Messi will again hold the title of this event once again.

Future of the Ballon d’Or:

Other than these highly renowned players, there are also other predictions about the players that will be announced as the top 3 players of these years. Some of the predictions include the names of Luataro Martinez as per his last year performance in which he scored 22 goals throughout 2021 and won the Copa America & Serie A titles. But he is considered one of the players that will be a part of winning this title in the near future but might not be in this season.

Same as this youngster, another name that is coming up with time on the minds of the people include Mohammad Saleh who is currently playing in Liverpool with 26 goals scored this year. This year has not been one of the best performing years of Salah but he is leaving his marks on the overall career as he is doing well in different events and giving his best to be one of the most prominent stars, at least of Egypt.

Not this year, but in the near future, Mohammad Salah might become one of the stars that will be standing on one of the podiums of Ballon d’Or. Other than this highly energetic player, some people are of the view that one of the leading stars of the future is Kevin De Bruyne who currently playing in Manchester United with an overall rating of 7.32.

He has scored 12 goals in the year 2021 but the overall performance of this highly technical player was highly appreciated. Three assists and a goal in the last three games of the same season is suggesting that he is easily making place in the winning of this award but he is still far away from the winning spot the Ballon d’Or 2021 top 3 players.

Most favourite players considered to be the winner of Ballon d’Or 2021:

As compared to the other players discussed above in this article, there are some most favourite names of the players that are considered to be the winners or top 3 players that will win the top 3 player title of 2021.

Another name that is becoming highly famous among football fans is Erling Haarland 

He is playing in the Dortmund team with an overall high rating of 7.72 this year and is looking forward to performing more professionally and enthusiastically in the coming events. He has scored 41 goals along with 13 assists in the same year. He has already won DFB-Pokal as well.

While talking about the speed and frequent goals in the current season, Kylian Mbappe will come in the top names this year with an overall rating of 7.97. He is currently performing from PSG and has scored 35 goals and done 14 assists this year. He has won different titles in UEFA Nations League, Coupe De France, & Trophee des Champions. Lifting his silverware is elevating him to be one of the active contestants of the Ballon d’Or.

Karim Benzema is also coming up on the view of the football lovers and journalists that are seeing him as the top players in the coming years and this year as well. He is also holding a strong position in this year’s award, playing in the Real Madrid with an overall rating of 8.04. He has scored 34 goals and done 13 assists in the same year. Karim has also won the title in UEFA Nations League, playing collectively in the team is making him a big star of the football but individually, he is still far from winning the d’Or title.

Top players that might win the status of the winner of the Ballon d’Or 2021:

Other than talking about the favourites of the audience, the logical studies are showing that there are some obvious players that might go to take the part in winning the title of Ballon d’Or 2021 as per their current performance, overall rating and reports of the football journalists. First of all, we will be talking about Romelu Lukaku who was holding a strong position throughout the last year with an overall rating of 8.13.

He is currently playing in the Chelsea club and has scored 30 goals along with eight assists this year. He has also won Serie A but there are fewer hopes now with Lukaku as most journalists are of the view that this year, he is not going to win the title in the Ballon d’Or 2021 top 3 players. So, there are fewer chances that he will be coming forward in this stream.

Regardless of injury issues, N’Golo Kante is still in the top chart of the best performers of this year’s football leagues with an overall rating of 8.22, he is currently playing from the Chelsea side and has got high concerns about winning d’Or. If he will remain in a good health condition and will be playing with the same extreme, there are chances that he will be succeeded to stand on one of the podiums of the d’Or 2021.

The next player about whom we are going to talk is Jorginho who is currently playing in the Chelsea team with an overall rating of 8.40. He also got the #3 rank in the d’Or 2019. This year, he has scored five goals and done two assists along with giving an overall tremendous performance throughout the year. He has already won titles in Euro 2020, Champions League & UEFA Super Cup. It will be too early to say whether he will be standing on the winning podium or not as it depends on the voters.
