La Liga trio Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar will contest the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or competition after the shortlist was whittled down from 23 names to just three.
Lionel Messi is the favourite to land the accolade, having led Barcelona to a famous treble last season, while Ronaldo is looking to defend his crown and draw level with the Argentine for overall wins.
This year,Lionel Messi is joined on the podium by Barca team-mate Neymar, who netted 10 goals en route to Champions League glory, including scoring in the final against Juventus in Berlin.
Neymar was also the joint-third top scorer in La Liga last season with 22 goals – and already has 14 this season.
The women's nominees for their respective prize are the USA's Carli Lloyd, Japan's Aya Miyama and Germany's Celia Sasic.
