FIFA Best: Messi vs. Ronaldo rivalry resumes as Mbappe, Salah, Neymar, Mane join stars in line for top award

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi resume their rivalry after being named on the shortlist for The Best FIFA Men's Player award, world football's governing body announced on Wednesday.

Bayern Munich's treble-winning Robert Lewandowski will battle it out with Juventus star Ronaldo and Barcelona's Messi after finishing as top goal scorer in the Champions League and Bundesliga last season. Lewandowski was a firm favourite for the Ballon d'Or award before it was scrapped this year for the first time in its 64-year history because of the coronavirus.
