I’m so sick of seeing a billion posts and comments saying “messi didn’t deserve the trophy” or “messi robbed haaland”. Do people watch football or just look at stats? Ballon d’or is for best player, not goalscorer. And almost every player agreed to this saying messi deserves it over haaland.
My issue is how exactly can what is essentially an achievement award + popularity contest be rigged fr? When it’s all about biases anyway. If anything while its fun to compare balondors and shit the award damn near means nothing now adays. And really just goes to attacking players. At this point we are lucky there is even a yashin award.
