Ballon d'Or

Flashback to when two Leicester players were in the top 8

Who do we think is winning it? Hope Rodri even if he is a bellend, think Vini Jnr. Bellingham probably nailed on for 3rd.

Very pathetic that no one from Madrid has gone because the rumours are he’s not going to win it.

There's a leaked list that has been completely right so far with Vinicius Jr winning it.

 

Not sure where the rumour first came from but France Football seem pretty determined to tell everyone that only 2 people know the winner.

Ah ok. 
 

From what I’ve seen, it was muted that Rodri was going to be the winner which is why they’ve all not turned up.

Even the BBC have reported this.

 

Seems very childish and petty.

Bonmati wins the women's for the 2nd straight year.

 

That's 4 straight year for Spanish/Barca players.

[AKCJ]

Rodri wins! Well deserved in my opinion.

[spacemunky]

I guess it pays to show up 

[Samilktray]

A CDM winning the ballondoor ?
 

This is 1 step too far for me, the games gone woke 

[Goober]

Fully deserved imo. His influence in the teams he plays in is almost peak Kante-esque

[Zear0]

Should have gone to TAA.

[StanSP]

I get Vinicius Jr has been unlucky to miss out, but some people are acting like he's died ffs.

Real Madrid lack so much class in certain areas of footballing life

Should've been Vinicius this year. Should've been Rodri the year before.

[Nalis]

I think it was quite a close call between the two and you obviously aren't comparing apples to oranges so if one won over the other its not a massive shock or anything to me.

 

Saying that, the tears over demands of 'justice' Vini Jnr not winning it from Real Madrid and all the fanboys online are absolutely delicious.

The fetishisation of individual awards in a team sport. Not for me, Clive.

[Finnegan]

Unbelievable entitlement. 

 

[Tielemans63]

Classy stuff from everyone's favourite club.

I'd understand if Vini Jr had had a Messi-like season but he hadn't.

 

I don't remember them crying this much when Modric won it.

[Tielemans63]

Good to see Emma Hayes getting the recognition she deserves 👏 

[Soar Fox]

Thoughts are with Rio Ferdinand at this moment in time
