For the last two years I've reached a new level, I'm more assertive on the pitch and am doing better in decisive matches.

The England star has posted a humble Instagram story after it was announced she had made the Ballon d'Or 2022 shortlist.

There was uproar last year when the winger missed out on a shortlist spot but now she has been overlooked again. But she doesn’t believe she should be included in the 2022 Ballon d’Or shortlist. “Thanks but I don’t deserve this,” Bronze wrote on her Instagram story.

The England trio are in the running for the prestigious prize but Lionel Messi was left off the men's shortlist.

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka and fellow England international Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund are among the nominees for the Kopa Trophy for the best players aged 21 and under. Son Heung-min joins his strike partner Harry Kane while the favourite to win for the first time is Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema. Foden is one of six Manchester City players on the list including new signing Erling Haaland while Liverpool quintet Mohamed Salah, Luiz Diaz, Fabinho, Virgil van Dijk and Darwin Nunez – as well as the recently departed Sadio Mane – are also included.

KYLIAN MBAPPE has revealed his top three picks for the upcoming Ballon d'Or award.Mbapppe's Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Lionel Messi was a shock abs.

If I were Karim, if I don’t win this, I’ll stop thinking about the Ballon d’Or forever. "He’s 34 years old, has just had the season of his life, has won another Champions League and is often decisive… KYLIAN MBAPPE has revealed his top three picks for the upcoming Ballon d'Or award.

Kylian Mbappe says his Ballon d'Or hopes haven't been wrecked by staying at PSG.

And I remain convinced that I will be able to win it one day in Paris." "Even when they sleep, they must hear these noises. But the most important thing is yourself."

Salah, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Diaz, Núñez, and Van Dijk were all short-listed for the award.

At the moment, only one Liverpool player has won the award, Michael Owen, following the treble season of 2000/01. This feels terribly unjust, by which I mean, “ tremendous, by the way.” And most recently Virgil van Dijk finished second in 2019. Said striker and objectively terribly human being, currently playing for Manchester United, whose ego couldn’t fit inside a freshly-emptied Old Trafford, was somehow nominated once again this year, presumably out of habit at this point.
