English club Manchester City won Club of the Year ahead of Liverpool, Real Madrid and Lyon. With the most Ballon d'Or and Ballon d'Or Féminin player nominations, Manchester City succeeded Chelsea as the second club to win the award following the award's introduction in 2021. The club had João Cancelo, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva nominated for the season's Ballon d'Or, following their Premier League triumph. Additionally, Lucy Bronze, from Manchester City Women, was nominated for the Ballon d'Or Féminin, totalling six players from the club. Manchester City finished ahead of Liverpool despite having the same number of player nominations; because City's nominations were spread across the two categories, they were given the award.{{cite news |last=Brotherton |first=Alex |date=17 October 2022 |title=Why Man City deserve Club of the Year award no matter what Real Madrid think |work=Manchester Evening News |publisher=Reach plc |url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-real-madrid-award-25290511 |url-status=live |access-date=19 July 2023 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20230719040712/https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-real-madrid-award-25290511 |archive-date=19 July 2023}}
