Inter Milan may have walked away with the UEFA Champions League title in May, but when it comes to individual talent, it would appear Barcelona comes second to none.
Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta were named finalists for the 2010 FIFA Ballon d'Or on Monday, ensuring that the title of world's best player will remain at Camp Nou for another season.
Messi won FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or honors last year, while Xavi and Iniesta also finished in the top five for both awards.
Those two prizes have been combined into a single honor for the first time this year. Voted on by coaches, players and journalists, the trophy will be presented Jan. 10 in Zurich.
