The Ballon d'Or full standings are being revealed on Monday October 28, with a brand-new winner of the award to be announced.
The Ballon d'Or has an illustrious history of winners, with Rodri expected to take the crown after a late twist. FourFourTwo are at the ceremony tonight, and will bring you the latest in the award's voting as it happens.

Against all odds, Spanish midfielder Rodri is expected to take the prize from Vinicius Jr, who led the running almost up until the end.
As a result, Real Madrid have cancelled plans to go to the ceremony in Paris. Rodri will become the first Premier League player to lift the gong since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2008.
Six English players have been nominated in the form of Jude Bellingham, Phil Foden, Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer and Declan Rice. The last player from these shores to have lifted the orb was Michael Owen, way back in 2001.
Meanwhile, four Premier League clubs are represented in the form of Arsenal, Manchester City (four players each), Chelsea and Aston Villa (one player each).
The Ballon d'Or standings were leaked earlier today, prior to the update that Vinicius had not won the award.
The Women's Ballon d'Or, Yashin Trophy, Gerd Muller Trophy, Socrates Award and Kopa Trophy will all be presented tonight, too.
