The Ballon d\u2019Or and Ballon d\u2019Or F\u00e9minin are annual awards presented by French news magazine France Football<\/em> and have been running since 1956, with the latest awards ceremony taking place tonight.<\/p>\n

Former Real Madrid captain Karim Benzema won the Ballon d\u2019Or last season while Barcelona\u2019s Alexia Putellas won the women\u2019s award for a second consecutive year.<\/p>\n

Inter Miami\u2019s Lionel Messi is the favourite to claim the men\u2019s trophy for a record-extending eighth time while Manchester City\u2019s Erling Haaland and PSG\u2019s Kylian Mbappe should perform well in the voting. <\/p>\n

Putellas spent most of last season injured, so there will be a new winner for the women\u2019s prize with Barcelona teammate Aitana Bonmati the favourite. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know ahead of the ceremony:<\/p>\n
