Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar made the final list of the FIFA 2015 Ball on D'or for men contest.
This is the first time Neymar will be making it to the final three, while Ronaldo and Messi are regulars. Ronaldo and Messi have made the last three since 2008, with Ronaldo winning it three times while Messi four.
Neymar first proved himself to compete with Ronaldo and Messi in the 2015 UEFA champions league final, when he scored ten goals and finished joint top scorers with the duo.
Moreover, Neymar's style of play has changed drastically, he is now a player to reckon with in terms of assists and finishing. In fact, while Messi was away due to injury, Neymar stepped into the big shoes and ensured that his club was not lacking in goals.
Critics have argued that the domination of Ronaldo and Messi in the individual title race, has made the award less competitive and clamoured for a broader participation.
The winner of the 2015 Ball on D'or award will be announced on January 11 2016 in Zurich Switzerland.
