Lionel Messi finished level on total votes with Erling Haaland, in spite of the Norwegian’s brilliant treble winning season. The Argentine won the vote on the basis of the total votes by national team captains, winning the FIFA World Cup with Argentina, and then moving to Inter Miami and winning the Leagues Cup with them.

Guardiola finally helped City win the Champions League this past season, and did so in the best way possible – while also completing the treble. The Catalonian was also asked a trick question, being asked to compare his Barcelona and Man City treble winning squad – to which he had a simple response.

Wiegman has won the best coach award for the second straight time, and fourth overall. She guided the England women’s team to the finals of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, but ultimately fell short of the mark against Spain.
