Ballon d'Or is perhaps the greatest individual award in football, with the winner considered the best player in the world at the time.

The annual award by French weekly magazine named France Football is given to the best footballer of the year. While it was started exclusively for men, currently the award is presented to both men and women.

England's Stanley Mathews was the first recipient of this award in 1956 while Argentina's Lionel Messi has received the award on the most number of occasions, a record seven times.

Between 2010 and 2015, France Football had entered into an agreement with FIFA to merge the Ballon D'or temporarily with the FIFA World Player of the Year award which was started in 1991. In those six years, the new award was called FIFA Ballon d'Or. 

While LaLiga has produced the most Ballon d'Or winners, only two clubs from Spain have had their players win the coveted award.

LaLiga has also had the most number of awards courtesy of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Let's take a look at which league has produced most Ballon d'Or winners.
