A video published by L'Equipe has sparked a lot of discussions, as some have pointed out that the newspaper has 'spoiled' the three finalists for the Ballon d'Or award. 

 

According to the rumours, the three finalists will be: Mbappe, Varane and Modric. In other words, if the reports are indeed true, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will both miss the top three for the first time since 2006. 

 

Already last month, reports in France suggested the same, although Barca and Juve's fans remain certain that their respective star deserves to be on the podium, and one could certainly understand them, taking the start to this season into consideration. 

 

Of course, it's still too early to say if these reports carry any truth, though we will find out soon enough. The award will take place in Paris on December 3rd.
