The 2011-2012 season went almost without a hitch for Casillas: Real Madrid win the league again, cutting the rival's winning streak, and Spain did it again with the Euro, revalidating their 2008 title. And in both conquests Iker was an important part, so much so that many voices were raised - some amazing like Valdes - calling the Golden Ball for him. Much remains to be delivered the highest annual individual distinction in football, but things do not look good. UEFA has announced its three finalists for the Best Player award, and positions 4 through 10. The award will be played between Andres Iniesta, Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo , while Iker Casillas has had to settle for sixth place. Off the podium in front of Móstoles have cast the two great minds of world football: Andrea Pirlo and Xavi Hernandez, fourth and fifth respectively. Again, Casillas has been overtaken by a series of offensive players with profiles that make them stand out more towards the amateur. The rosy pools seemed to be wrong.
Now it's up to Spain
The perception in Spain is that, having won two European Championships and World Cup in the last four years, it is high time that a player pick up the much coveted national award, more than half a century after he did Luis Suarez. Fernando Torres, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta have been on the podium in the last five years, but the merits of Iker Casillas appear to have been enough to sneak in the top three. Given this, the only hope of winning the Spanish Championship trophy is Andres Iniesta, who this time has been chosen to sneak along with Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Since 2007, Argentina has not missed a single one of the nominations for the Golden Ball, the FIFA World Player extinct or the best player of UEFA. Meanwhile, Ronaldo just missed the FIFA Golden Ball 2010, when Barcelona was full with Xavi, Iniesta and Messi. It was in that time when Spain really had hopes of climbing to the top, but again Messi, who has won all the awards since 2009 - were left with honey on the lips. The Argentine is again the favorite, but the results of the UEFA Player of the conclusions can be drawn about what will happen in the FIFA Golden Ball
