Former Krasnodar goalkeeper Andrey Sinitsyn says he would not be surprised if Lionel Messi were awarded the Ballon d’Or.
Sinitsyn believes four players are competing for this year’s individual prize: Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid, Erling Haaland of Manchester City, Harry Kane of Bayern Munich and Lamine Yamal of Barcelona.
The Ballon d’Or ceremony will take place in London on 26 October.
