Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the most decorated players in the history of the Ballon d'Or, with 13 wins between them.
Messi holds the record with eight wins throughout his illustrious career, according to Euro Sport.
As the 2024 edition approaches, top players such as Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, and Kylian Mbappe are strong contenders following an impressive 2023/24 season.
A supercomputer has already predicted the Ballon d'Or winners up to 2038, stirring excitement among football fans eager to see who will clinch the 2024 award.
The prediction, shared by @Football_Tweet on X, includes notable names like Mbappe and Barcelona's rising star, Lamine Yamal.
For the 2024 Ballon d'Or, the supercomputer forecasts Bellingham as the winner, with Mbappe expected to win in 2025.
Despite nearing the twilight of his career, Messi is predicted to secure his ninth Ballon d'Or in 2026.
Phil Foden is anticipated to win the award in 2027, though it will be his only triumph.
