Manchester United stars Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba were among the players to miss out on a place in the top 10 of the 2016 Ballon d'Or rankings.
Pogba, who became the most expensive player in football history when he re-joined United from Juventus for £89million in August, placed joint 14th, alongside Bayern Munich and Chile midfielder Arturo Vidal.
Veteran Swedish striker Ibrahimovic, who retired from international duty after Euro 2016 before moving to Old Trafford on a free transfer following the expiry of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain, was 13th.
Ahead of them came Borussia Dortmund marksman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (11th) and Sporting CP goalkeeper Rui Patricio (12th), who was a hero of Portugal's European Championship triumph in France.
