18:02We remember how the voting system works:

25% of the total votes are computed by the national selectors, another 25% by the captains, 25% by journalists and 25% by the public.

17:57Just over an hour until the FIFA The Best Gala kicks off! In Zurich they are already warming up engines.

17:52The prize that seems more open is that of the best goalkeeper. Donnarumma is endorsed by his great European Championship (he was chosen best player of the tournament), Neuer by his perseverance and regularity after almost 15 years in the elite, and Mendy by his decisive role in the Champions League won by Chelsea.

17:50In the category of best coach, all the spotlights point to Thomas Tuchel. Sacked mid-season by PSG, the German coach took charge of Chelsea in January and turned a floundering side into a Champions League winning machine.

17:46Robert Lewandowski is the main favorite to win The Best, an award he took last year. Leo Messi maintains his options thanks to the conquest of the Copa América despite his bad start to the season with PSG. Mohamed Salah, the third in discord, starts with fewer possibilities than the other two contenders.
