Today evening in London will take place the 2017 FIFA Best Player of the Year award ceremony.
Three European footballers competing for the prestigious trophy are Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), and Neymar (PSG).
Football fans in Lithuania will have to wait to find out the winner - the live broadcast online will start at 9 p.m. local time, but the announcement of the winner will only happen around 10:30 p.m.
The favorite to win this award is Cristiano Ronaldo. The 32-year-old football star from Real Madrid won two important titles last season - La Liga and the Champions League.
This season, the Portuguese player has not yet shown impressive form, but last season he managed to score 42 goals in 46 matches and was the key player for Real Madrid in crucial matches.
He will face competition from Lionel Messi, who is demonstrating impressive form - this season, he has already scored 15 goals in 14 matches.
Neymar has the least chance of winning this award, as last summer he left Barcelona for an incredible amount of money and moved to PSG. This season, the Brazilian has scored 10 goals in 11 matches.
Also, at this ceremony, there will be an award for the best coach of the year, a prize for the most beautiful goal, and the reveal of the best football eleven of 2017.
