The three were the great highlights of the last year. The Argentine appears as the favorite for the great performance in the World Cup. He was the main player of the team during the dispute of the World Cup in Qatar and surpassed Kylian Mbappé in one of the greatest finals in the history of the competition.

His teammate, Kylian Mbappé, was also announced in the top three and entered the dispute to try to take the FIFA The Best award. The PSG striker was the team’s top scorer all year and proved to be a worthy competitor to Lionel Messi. He even ended his participation in the World Cup with the world runner-up and also as top scorer in the competition. Therefore, the race should not be easy for the Argentine.
While Messi and Mbappé will fight for FIFA The Best of best player, they will also have to overcome Karim Benzema. As much as he didn’t play in the World Cup due to physical problems, he was the highlight of the last Champions League and is currently the best player in the world. He arrives as one of the favorites for the award, but the tendency is for this to be one of the fiercest disputes for the individual title in recent editions.
It is worth noting that some Brazilian talents were also in contention for the FIFA award, but ended up being left out of the top-3. Vinícius Jr and Neymar were the main candidates, but they were unable to overcome the seasons of Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Karim Benzema.
