These are all the best FIFA Ballon d’Or jokes from the 2015 ceremony, a typically long drawn-out affair that eventually saw Barcelona’s Lionel Messi crowned this year’s winner.
The interaction of hosts actor James Nesbitt and Sky Sports presenter Kate Abdo, an on-stage selfie and some fancy outfits, as well as a host of accompanying awards given out in the lead up to the main event, provided much to talk about.
Relive the entire, dreary event with this selection of the best 2015 FIFA Ballon d’Or jokes:

Whoever won the arguments over Lionel's suits in previous years clearly lost this one.
