Earlier this year, France Football decided there would be no 2020 Ballon d'Or winner due to the coronavirus pandemic.
After the public outcry that followed, the French publication decided to put together a Ballon d'Or Dream Team consisting of the 11 best players in history.
After 170 journalists worldwide cast their votes, 11 lists with 10 nominees per position were release over the past two weeks.
However, there were some notable absentees, including current UEFA Men's Player of the Year Robert Lewandowski, who was snubbed for the list of forwards.
With the Bayern Munich star having been omitted, Dennis Bergkamp, Gerd Muller, Johan Cruyff, Romario, Kenny Dalglish, Ronaldo Nazario, Eusebio, Marco van Basten, Sandor Kocsis and George Weah were the 10 nominees for his position.
