Who will be the likely winners?
Cristiano is favorite to defend his title after winning La Liga and the Champions League. However, don’t count out Lionel Messi just yet, as his excellent form in front of goal recently could help his odds.
Elsewhere, Zidane is likely to win The Best Men’s Coach prize after guiding Los Blancos to four titles in 2017 – La Liga, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup.
