Can you name every French player to have won the Ballon d’Or?

No nation boasts as many different Ballon d’Or winners as France – but can you name every male French player to have lifted the prestigious award?

Six different French players have won France Football’s award for the best footballer in any given year.

With the 2025 winner, pictured above, Les Bleus have moved ahead of Germany and Italy for the nation with the most Ballon d’Or winners.

We’ve given you just five minutes and your only clue is the year(s) in which each player won it.

It’s short and sweet, but it will require some proper historical knowledge – only two of these legendary names are from the 21st century.
