Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon and Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric made up the remainder of the top five, finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.

Sergio Ramos and Kylian Mbappe finished just outside a top-five spot at sixth and seventh.

There were a couple of surprises Thursday – Toni Kroos didn’t move up from 17th, the spot he earned last year, while Antoine Griezmann fell from third in 2016 to 18th in 2017. Isco, Edinson Cavani, Harry Kane, and N’Golo Kante were high-risers in 2017, finishing 12th, 10th, and eighth, respectively, despite not even making the shortlist last year.

Here’s the vote ranking from France Football:

The draw for the 2017-18 Champions League round of 16 was conducted in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday, and delivered some herculean matchups to look forward to in the new year.

Real Madrid was punished for its second-placed finish in Group H with two legs against much-fancied Paris Saint-Germain, while another standout tie will be contested between Chelsea and Barcelona.

The Investigatory Chamber of the independent UEFA Club Financial Control Board (CFCB) declined AC Milan’s application for a voluntary agreement regarding Financial Fair Play (FFP), the governing body announced Friday.

Chinese-owned AC Milan showed losses of around €255 million over the last three seasons, following a spending spree last summer, but UEFA permits a limit of €30 million in losses over that time period. UEFA explained that the Italian outfit will “continue to be subject to the ongoing monitoring process” and will be assessed again in 2018.

“After careful examination of all the documentation and explanations provided, the Chamber decided not to conclude a voluntary agreement with AC Milan,” reads a statement published on UEFA’s website.

“In particular, the Chamber considered that, as of today, there are still uncertainties in relation to the refinancing of the loans to be paid back in October 2018 and the financial guarantees provided by the main shareholder.”

Without a voluntary agreement in place, Milan could now face sanctions such as financial penalties and squad and salary restrictions. For example, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain were both fined €60 million and had their European squads reduced from 25 players to 21 back in the 2013-14 season for failing to comply with FFP rules.

Marco Polo Del Nero, the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), is a step closer to facing trial.

On Friday, Polo Del Nero was provisionally banned from all football activities at both national and international levels by FIFA’s Ethics Committee. The duration of the ban may be extended by a period not exceeding 45 days.

Polo Del Nero was among 16 additional FIFA officials indicted for racketeering, conspiracy, and corruption by the United States Department of Justice in 2015. After resigning from the FIFA Executive Committee, he was charged one week later with racketeering, wire fraud, and money laundering conspiracies, among other offences, in connection with a scheme to make money by corrupting international football.

According to the Guardian, Polo Del Nero fled Switzerland in May 2015 when nine FIFA officials and five corporate executives were indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice. It was the beginning of the corruption scandal engulfing football’s governing body, and Jose Maria Marin, a former president of the CBF, was among the defendants.

Romario, a politician who was part of Brazil’s squad when the Selecao won the 1994 World Cup, wrote on Facebook: “My hope, like many Brazilians who love football, is to see him banished once and for all. Del Nero has already had his crimes unmasked with those of other corrupt ones like Jose Maria Marin, already imprisoned in the USA, and Ricardo Teixeira, still loose in Brazil. They used the CBF to illegally enrich.”

Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima will be employed as the CFB’s president while Polo Del Nero serves his ban.
