Here's how we would vote for Ballon d'Or 2025 and other honors, whose nominees are set to be announced Thursday

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been named on the Ballon d'Or shortlist alongside Virgil van Dijk, Alexis Mac Allister and Florian Wirtz, though the eventual award winner will not be confirmed until later in the calendar year.

Dembélé is being considered as the top choice for the award, given Paris Saint-Germain's victory in the Champions League in Munich against Inter Milan. Besides this, the side also bagged the Ligue 1 and their domestic cup. Other frontrunners for the honor include Yamal, Raphinha and Salah.
