Here come those fabulous Barça boys

Lionel Messi is the hot favourite to walk away with the top prize tonight.

Here he is signing some autographs on the red carpet ahead of the ceremony.

A couple of his Barcelona pals are also in the house:

Andres Iniesta signing for some Barca fans

And carizmatic one Dani Alves

Ronaldo in demand

Cristiano Ronaldo also looked impeccably cool in the pre-awards press conference earlier.

He’s also been making his way up the red carpet to the ceremony hall. Or whatever it’s called.

He even posed for a photo with a fan who looks like a young Ruud van Nistelrooy:

Neymar looking relaxed

Most people would be shaking at the prospect of tonight’s ceremony.

But Neymar is not most people.

In fact, the Barcelona man looks as relaxed as if he was taking a stroll down to the local Spar shop to buy a Freddo and a can of fizz.

Although that hat probably cost more than most of our houses.

But who is going to win will be decided this afternoon. made by Mirror
