The names are like a who’s who of footballing greats: Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Andres Iniesta, David Beckham…
They’ve all had glittering careers and won countless trophies, but there’s something else they all have in common – none of them has won the men’s Ballon d’Or.
The prestigious annual award has been handed out since 1956 when two French sportswriters wanted to recognise the world’s best talent.
At first it only included European footballers, but now it is open to players from across the globe.
There are superstars throughout the winners’ list, with Zinedine Zidane and Brazil team-mates Ronaldinho and Ronaldo all scooping the top award.
A period of domination started in 2008 as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi battled it out for the number one spot.
In the decade that followed, no-one else got a look-in as the two greatest players on the planet shared the top prize.
But which big names are conspicuously absent from the list of winners?
