He can win as many Golden Boots, Premier Leagues and Champions Leagues as he want at City but winning the Balon d’Or is near impossible unless Norway win the World Cup (LOL!) or move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
The Balon d’Or is heavily biased towards the biggest clubs in Spain. Look what happened to Mbappe. He won the World Cup with France and was the best player in the tournament but Luka Modric won it ahead of him when he wasn’t even the best player for Real Madrid that year
If it’s hard for Mbappe to win it then it’s virtually impossible for Haaland unless he moves out of City. I can guarantee Jude Bellingham win the next Balon d’Or if Real Madrid win the Champions League.
I was thinking Haaland deserved the win, especially with Messi moving to the US leagues and PSG being knocked out of the champions league, but there was a post comparing all the numbers from goals, assists to dribbling etc… Messi had better overall numbers to make up for the goals difference between the 2. Still think Haaland deserved the win with that last season, but feel better that Balon d’Or wasn’t just a popularity trophy/award.
