Sometimes I doubt people when they say they are football fans. When they have zero basic knowledge about things like how Ballon d’or is given.
It’s a popularity contest where sports persons vote. That’s it. If you find that to be a joke then it has been a joke since you have been watching it . And even before that. Owen 2001? Figo 2000 ? nedved 2003 ? cr7 2013?

If you find this to be controversial today then you are a bigger buffoon than your post made it to be.
