The above photo shows the names of Lionel Messi, Manuel Neuer and Cristiano Ronaldo being inscribed on plaques at the revered Mellerio dits Meller jewellery house in Paris.

Tonight, around 300 miles away at the Kongresshaus in Zurich, one will be inscribed on another opulent ornament.


Messi is hoping to win his fifth Fifa World Player of the Year/Fifa Ballon d’Or, while holder Ronaldo is out for his third. Neuer, meanwhile, is vying to become the first goalkeeper to seize the award in its 24-year history under Fifa.
