Argentina's Lionel Messi was named best player and France's Kylian Mbappe won the Golden Boot award following a sensational World Cup 2022 final.
Messi, 35, led Argentina to their third World Cup title, scoring twice in the final as they beat France in a dramatic penalty shootout.
He netted seven goals in seven games and became the first player to score in each round of the same World Cup since the last-16 round was introduced in 1986.
He is also the first player to win the Golden Ball award twice since it was introduced in 1982 after also winning the honour in 2014.
