The Ballon d’Or has had several winners since its inception in 1956 when England international Sir Matthew Stanley won the first trophy.

Barcelona and Argentina international, Lionel Messi extended his tally of wins in the Ballon d’Or after he received his sixth trophy.

The 32-year old scored 51 goals and assisted 19 times across all competitions in the 2018-2019 season.

The award is his first since 2015 where he scored 58 goals and assisted 27 times in all competitions.

The Argentine now holds the record for the most wins in the Ballon d’Or list with six medals with the rival, Cristiano Ronaldo having five trophies.

The likes of Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten, and Michelle Platini have all scooped three Ballon d’Or trophies.

Lev Yashin is the only goalkeeper to have won the most coveted award and Liberian and AC Milan star, George Weah, still remains the only African to receive the award since its inauguration.
