Argentina forward Lionel Messi has won the Ballon d'Or for a record-extending eighth time, while Spain midfielder Aitana Bonmati claimed the Women's Ballon d'Or.
Messi, now at Inter Miami, led his country to World Cup glory last year as he lifted the trophy for the first time and won the Golden Ball award for the best player of the tournament in Qatar.
The 36-year-old reclaimed the Ballon d'Or from France's Karim Benzema to add to his wins in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019 and 2021.
Barcelona midfielder Bonmati won the Women's Ballon d'Or for the first time as she helped Spain to maiden World Cup glory in August and won a league and Champions League double at club level.
Bonmati won the Golden Ball for the best player of the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, while she was recently named UEFA Women's Player of the Year.
