Ballon d'Or 2023 | Haaland finishes 2nd

[Gorton_Tubster]

Saka!! wtf and how did he even get in there? Did Arsenal win a European trophy or something last year? Totally confused by that. Maybe there's a hype train going on with him.

Messi will get it, unfortunately for our boys. Haaland deserves it and everyone I suspect knows that. Messi should get a lifetime achievement award was a good idea.

Though had some very good performances in latter stages of champions league Bernie shouldn't be there over Stones(neither should Gvardiol) think Ake and Akanji had better seasons too.

 

[Don Karleone]

1. Erling
2. Rodri
3. KDB

Not necessarily in that order but that's probably what it should be. Obviously, it won't happen.

Marton Tyler said it

No he didn’t ..

 

[01cravend]

Remember Ribery was meant to win as he led Bayern to a treble(before Bundes was a one team league).
Lost out to Ronaldo who didn't win anything but scored 60 goals. Ribery didn't even get 2nd.

They also gave Messi one for winning the Copa America, Erling doesn't stand a chance

Rodri deserves to win it, his performances in the last 12 months have been simply magnificent.

It’s a shit popularity vote that never makes any sense. Should be Haaland for setting records but it won’t be.

Only 8?

Should have been the entire squad apart from Cancelo and Phillips.

 

[Blue Theatre]

Would never have imagined 10-15 years ago that we'd have so many Ballon D’Or nominees !

Messi is hot favourite, but he really shouldn't be voted the best player across last season when the World Cup was just 7 games in December.

That would 'stupendous' as Niall Quinn once said. Unfortunately there's the small matter of a little Argentinian fly in the ointment.

I mean, if we're gonna talk about Argentinian World Cup winners... didn't Alvarez win more silverware than Messi?
