Inter Milan face more disappointment with Wesley Sneijder to be handed a snub in the Ballon d'Or battle.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Spain's World Cup triumph was enough to put Andres Iniesta on top in an all-Barcelona podium.
He is followed by Spain teammate Xavi and last year's winner, Leo Messi.
It is another snub for Inter, considering Diego Milito didn't even make the short-list.
