Mmm. They can’t spell ‘Norvège’ after Big Erl’s name - looks like they’ve spelled it ‘Novrège’.

Oh, and Jude Bellingham is too shit to belong anywhere in that list, let alone number 3.

It would interesting to hear from Real Madrid fans what they think of Bellingham ?
The English media have built him up to become a superhero.
Unfortunately, RM would seem to be so well in with EUFA, for a lickle Citeh player to win such a prize, would seem unlikely...

It doesn't surprise me that much, because to win the Ballon d'Or you have to meet both sporting and extra-sporting criteria, and knowing Vinicius's detestable behaviour on the pitch at EVERY match, he clearly only meets one of the two criteria, not to mention not having Rodri's consistency.

It's the first time in history that a Ballon d'Or winner has come to collect his trophy on crutches.

Obviously we are all biased, but I genuinely believe he deserves it and, when fit, is the best player on the planet right now.

He's the fulcrum that makes this team work, and our performances with and without him speak volumes. The fact he's won more trophies than games lost over the past 2 years (or whatever the stat is) is mind boggling. That says it all!

If he wins as he rightfully should....

At what point does he enter the conversation for our greatest ever player?

He's getting a statue at the very least..

 

[Keeper!]

The acceptance speech and the snub from the Madrid players is the reason Rodri will be a blue for life.

What a player and what a football club we have become.

Congratulations to him.

Hope this doesn’t mean we’re going to have games stopped every five minutes as children, and adults who should know better, run on the pitch to have selfies taken with him.

Hardly the option for a man that despises social media and does all he can to remain in the background.

Ronaldo encourages it and at this time it's probably the only way he gets the headlines he craves.

Maybe this is a world record at club level. That even the biggest legends couldn't go so many games unbeaten is incredible.

"Born to win."

Outstanding vision

it is. He beat some early 90s Milan players by one or two games (74 in the end, was it?) and then lost the FA Cup final sadly.

Granted place in every single Man City all time XI line up

Outstanding vision

And his name is cartlidge.
With that vision, I'm surprised its not one of those that Rodri is suffering from.
