Korea Republic star Son Heung-min, meanwhile, was ranked 11th for the 2022 men's award - the highest ever achieved by an Asian male player.
Tottenham Hotspur star Son bettered his own mark for the highest ranking by an Asian player after finishing 11th.
Son, who scored 23 goals for Tottenham Hotspur to share the Premier League Golden Boot with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah last season, finished 22nd among 30 finalists in 2019, when he was nominated for the award for the first time.
