Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo had made it a personal duel and won the Ballon d'Or every time between themselves from 2008 to 2018.

After falling out of favour at [Real Madrid](https://khelnow.com/tag/real-madrid/), the Dutchman was the creative lynchpin of [Inter Milan](https://khelnow.com/football/team/inter-milan)‘s 2009-10 treble-winning team. [Bayern Munich](https://khelnow.com/football/team/fc-bayern-munich) striker and Polish forward Robert Lewandowski was regarded as unlucky to miss out on the 2020 Ballon d’Or award, which was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Number six for Barcelona and eight for Spain, Xavi was the conductor of [Pep Guardiola](https://khelnow.com/football/coach/pep-guardiola)‘s game-changing team of the late noughties. Wesley Sneijder made an immediate impact at Inter Milan, helping the team win the [Serie A](https://khelnow.com/football/category/serie-a) and [Champions League](https://khelnow.com/football/category/uefa-champions-league) in 2010. Ahead of the 2021 main award, France Football issued a ‘best goalscorer’ award, which some may believe is an attempt to acknowledge the fact that the Polish striker missed out on recognition. Instead, he was awarded the 2021 Goalscorer of the Year award in recognition of his record-breaking season when he scored 41 league goals. [Xavi Hernandez](https://khelnow.com/tag/xavi/) is genuinely one of the best midfielders to ever play the game. [Iniesta](https://khelnow.com/football/player/andres-iniesta) remains one of the most elegant players to ever grace the middle of a soccer pitch. [Wesley Sneijder](https://khelnow.com/football/player/wesley-sneijder) was the odds favourite to win the Ballon d’Or in 2010. The two legends Messi and Ronaldo had made it a personal duel and won the prestigious individual award every time between themselves from 2008 before [Luka Modric](https://khelnow.com/football/player/luka-modric) won the prestigious accolade in 2018. [Ballon d’Or ](https://khelnow.com/football/2022-10-world-football-ballon-dor-complete-winners-list)or ‘Golden Ball’ in 1956, the award has become the highest individual honour in soccer.
