Erling Haaland and Phil Foden among six Man City players nominated for Ballon d'Or award

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden are among six Manchester City players that have been nominated for this year's Ballon d'Or award.

Pep Guardiola's star-studded squad have been recognised for their individual talents as a host of City players are included on the 30-man shortlist for the award. This is the first time that the Ballon d'Or will be decided based on achievements over the course of a season, rather than across a calendar year.

Haaland's nomination is the second time the Norwegian has been included on the shortlist and comes after a stellar season at Borussia Dortmund. The 22-year-old scored a staggering 29 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions for the Black and Yellows.
