I’m a fan of neither directly. I love football. So its completely without bias when I say your comment about fanbase applies to both sides fanbases in this boring tiresome argument. And yes that includes you.

Because the Ballon d’Or isn’t about the best player in the world. It’s about driving profitability. A player that is in the area of the best and has the most popularity will always win. Pushes the agenda of the global game further and opens marketing and other profitable opportunities. I think it was as far back as the 70s that Cruyff declared the Bdor a sham. If it was really about the best, De Bruyne, Van Dijk and Peter Schmeichel would all have one.

Yet they live in your head enough for you to post negative posts that are so evident they don’t need to be said. 🤣🤣🤣
