Cesc Fabregas changed his mind on who should win the Ballon d'Or following the 2022 Champions League final.
Before the match the former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder suggested that Liverpool stars Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah and Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema could decide their fate in the showpiece event in Paris. He tweeted: "Not a big fan of individual trophies like that but surely the Ballon d'Or could/should be decided tonight? Mane? Salah? Benzema?"
But after a closely contested match that finished 1-0 with Thibault Courtois winning the man of the match award after pulling off nine sensational saves - more than any other shot-stopper in a Champions League final - the Spaniard quickly changed his mind.
