    marcelo,kroos,messi,neymar,buffon,dybala,ronaldo,all deserve the price but one thing fifa should note is that, for goals to be scored there needs to be a creator for them and for goals not to come, there need to be a stopper for them. it is high time a midfielder/defender/keeper wins the award.

    Messi deserves the award , (2017-2018) season FIFA ballon d’or because he is more complete footballer in any position, Cr7 only a penalty box finisher.
