The annual awards recognises the best footballing talents in the world, with Lionel Messi widely expected to pick up his eighth individual title as the best' men's performer.

Premier League stars, A-list celebrities, You Tube sensations and former players and managers are in attendance at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris and there are plenty of eager supporters waiting to catch a glimpse.

Manchester City players were some of the first to arrive at the glamorous event and were undoubtedly walking with an extra spring in their step after thrashing cross-city rivals Man United in the weekend derby at Old Trafford.

Erling Haaland - who is expected to finish high in the Ballon d'Or rankings after a record-breaking first season at Man City donned a navy tuxedo as he made his way into the theatre alongside girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
