On Monday, the winner of the Ballon d'Or Feminin 2022 will be confirmed, but who will it be? Alexia Putellas' triumph last year was no surprise, with the Barcelona midfielder having an incredible 2020-21 season as she led her club to a treble, which included a first-ever Women's Champions League title.
This time around, it's a little more difficult to call. Many of the players who had barn-storming campaigns in 2021-22 were not the stars of the past summer's major tournaments - be it through injury, as was the case for Putellas, or due to disappointing performances by their respective national teams as a whole.
It's tough to know what weight judges will give to competitions like the European Championship. Given they surprised everyone by not nominating Barca winger Caroline Graham Hansen or her new team-mate Keira Walsh for the award, it's clear that trying to decipher how they think is impossible.
So, all things considered, how might the final ranking for this year's Ballon d'Or Feminin turn out? GOAL takes a look...
