What countries have produced the most Ballon d'Or winners?

There are no sole leaders on the list but the countries that top it are Portugal (thanks Cristiano Ronaldo!), Germany and the Netherlands.

Besides, it makes sense to put Germany in the first place as they've had five different winners of the prize.

Let's take a look at the top 6.

1. Germany – 7 Ballon d'Ors (Muller, Beckenbauer x2, Rummenigge x2, Matthaus, Sammer).

1. The Netherlands – 7 Ballon d'Ors (Cruyff x3, Gullit, Van Basten x3).

1. Portugal – 7 (Eusebio, Figo, Cristiano Ronaldo x5).
