Sports Mole looks at the final rankings for the 2022 Kopa Trophy, with Barcelona's Gavi beating off competition from the likes of Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka.

Barcelona midfielder Gavi has been named the best young player in world football at the 2022 Ballon d'Or ceremony.

The 18-year-old played 47 times across all competitions for Barcelona last season and won the Kopa Trophy for the most promising player under the age of 21.

Gavi beat off competition from the likes of Eduardo Camavinga, Jamal Musiala and England duo Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka to take the award - the second successive year it has been won by a Barcelona midfielder after Pedri claimed it last season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the final standings in the voting from the full 10-man shortlist.
