Messi, Ronaldo, Iniesta and Neymar among Nominees for best FIFA Men’s Player Award

Real Madrid have dominated the shortlist, with over 20 players vying for the personal accolade after impressive seasons

Andres Iniesta is one of the more surprising names on the 24-man shortlist for the Best FIFA Men's Player award for 2017.

The Barcelona captain has been included despite having been restricted to just 13 starts in La Liga last season, largely due to injury problems.
