Cristiano Ronaldo leads an extraordinary roster with Portugal, Italy are finally back in a major tournament and Germany as hosts could hoist the trophy for the first time since 1996.

Spain, Croatia, Denmark, Belgium and Turkey could be some of the possible surprises. Furthermore, the UEFA Euro might be crucial to determine the winner of the next Ballon’ d’Or.
