As has already been the case in the past, the final ranking of the Ballon d’Or could be known well before the verdict.
Next Monday, at the end of the evening, we will know the winner of 68e Golden Ball. Doubt remains total about the final ranking of this prize, but perhaps for longer.
If it seems almost certain that Vinicius Jr will be crowned winner of this edition, we do not yet know what place all of the 29 other nominees will have. In principle, we would have to wait until October 28 to be fixed. But information on the final ranking may not be disclosed before then.

A better organized Ballon d’Or ceremony?
In the past, people have been able to obtain voting details before the ceremony even begins. It is not impossible that this will be the case again this year. And this is the great fear of Vincent Garcia, editor-in-chief of France Football. If the list leaks, the evening planned at the Châtelet theater will lose a lot of interest.
The chances of this catastrophic scenario occurring are still quite slim. Firstly because FF is no longer obliged to plan the paper version of her diary for the next day. Then, because this year, and unlike previous years, even the winner has not yet been informed of his coronation. He will discover it at the same time as everyone else, that is to say when the verdict is announced.
Of course, there will remain the worry that FIFA, which has also co-held this prize for a year, may also be at fault somewhere. We are never safe from an error or a sabotage initiative.
