The ballon dor is a joke of an award, it’s judged by journalists that have no more insight than the average fan.

So many players who should have won it haven’t, because it’s a popularity contest. If you ask Liverpool fans, they’ll scream about Nunez, who shows a great aggression but couldn’t finish a roast dinner. Man City fans, Haaland (who I thought should have won it, plus I’m not even a premier league side supporter). Untied don’t have a player worthy and neither do Chelsea. Barca have been terrible and Madrid haven’t got a player last season who deserves it. Pointless mentioning any of the other leagues because they’re so one sided, it shouldn’t be classed as competitive. It’s a blindsided, journalist ran fan vote.

To me this award means just as much as the JPT trophy. Mindless nonsense.
