Ballon d'Or 2022 is set to be awarded in October at an official presentation ceremony, to the best player of Europe for the 2021-22 football season. The final contenders have been revealed for the prestigious award with Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema being the hot favourite. Take a look at the top ten contenders for winning the Ballon d'Or 2022. Shockingly, PSG stars Lionel Messi and Neymar are not in the top 30 contenders.

Navas has been at Madrid since 2014 and was their number one during their unprecedented hat-trick of Champions League titles between 2016 and 2018 but has lost his place in the team since Belgium keeper Thibaut Courtois joined last year.

Courtois allowed Russia a soft equaliser after his error gifted a goal to Denis Cheryshev, but Belgium claimed a deserved victory when Youri Tielemans opened the scoring with his first international goal and Hazard added two more, one from the penalty spot.

Rosetti promised to look into improving the system`s efficiency.

Hazard openly admitted he wasn`t certain about the correct decision to make.

Courtois, 26, signed for Madrid from Chelsea on Wednesday for a reported 35 million euros after winning two Premier League titles as well as the FA Cup and League Cup in England.  

Brazil's World Cup quarter-final against Belgium will pit two of Chelsea's best midfielders against each other but Brazil's Willian told reporters that he will be doing everything he can to send his teammate Eden Hazard home early from Russia.

Chelsea's victory, which keeps them third in the Premier League, ought to have been more emphatic but it briefly looked as if they might not collect the three points at all when Newcastle took a surprise lead in the 12th minute.

Chelsea ended a three-match winless streak with a league win over Watford last weekend but the build-up to that game was clouded by speculation about Conte's future.

After successive Premier League defeats by leaders Manchester City and bottom club Crystal Palace, Conte would have cherished a dull 1-0 win against Roma to steady the ship.

Chelsea remain two points clear of Roma at the top of Group C, but this was the latest in a growing list of alarming displays from the Premier League champions.

Goals from Chelsea`s Victor Moses and Arsenal new boy Sead Kolasinac sent the game to a shootout and with both Courtois and Morata limply squandering their spot-kicks, Arsenal won the trophy for the third time in four years.

The victory over City maintained Chelsea`s seven-point lead over second placed Tottenham with just eight games remaining.

After Chelsea`s second goal, only a brilliant Fabianski save denied Costa a hat-trick and the visitors all three points.

Chelsea remain 13th, 17 points below the top four, but while their Champions League qualification hopes have long seemed over, Costa`s goal dealt a weighty blow to embattled United manager Van Gaal.

A Diego Costa stoppage-time equaliser helps Chelsea salvage a point after Jesse Lingard stunner almost give Manchester United win at Stamford Bridge.

The EPL champions are under pressure after losing 11 of their 23 games in all competitions this season.
