He might not be back in action until November, but Lionel Messi seems to have the Ballon d'Or locked up already.

The Argentine is odds-on favourite with various bookmakers to stop Cristiano Ronaldo taking the prize for a third successive year, after helping Barcelona complete an incredible treble.

Robert Lewandowski's recent remarkable goalscoring form has caught the eye of some punters, with the Bayern Munich striker joining the Brazilian at 20s.
