Ballon D'Or 2019 live streaming details and all about football's biggest annual award

It is time for the biggest individual award in the world of football as every fan awaits to see who will be announced as the next Ballon D'Or. Last year, Luka Modric broke Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's 10-year streak as both the football maestros have won the award five times each respectively. However, Ronaldo and Messi are also considered favourites to win the Ballon D'Or this year alongside Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman had a season to remember last year as he singlehandedly dominated the European champions' defence in the Premier League 2018-19 and also played a crucial part in Liverpool's Champions League triumph last season.
