    They're goats to celebrate Messi winning.

    They managed to knock these up in less than 24 hours after it was announced...

    Do they need a certain amount of people from each continent on the shortlist? Mahrez and Diaz in there….!

    Mahrez top scorer for the team that won the Premier league.

    Luis Diaz as he is also awarded medals from his half season with Porto, won 5 trophies in the past year and reached the CL final.

    They have to have a certain number of nominees (30) so obviously they had to pad it out a bit but i don't think including them is that ridiculous. To be honest though once you get outside the probable top 5, you're reaching a bit to find the other 25.

    At least those 2 won something, there's a few on there that are worse picks. Nunez, Kane, Rudiger, Ronaldo.

    No Messi for the first time in 17 years.

    16 years in a row as a Ballon d'Or nominee is nuts.
