The irony is that if he was actually good enough to win the Ballon d'Or, he wouldn't be playing as a full back. He only plays there because that's where his numerous flaws cause the least damage.Fucking lulz.....

No full-back has won the world player of the year award, which was first presented in 1956.
Alexander-Arnold, 26, said he would chose winning a Ballon d'Or over lifting the World Cup with England.
"I believe I can," Alexander-Arnold, told Sky Sports, external. "I want to be the first full-back to ever do it.
"It's only the morning after you retire that you're able to look in the mirror and say, 'I gave it everything I got'.
"It doesn't matter how many trophies you win, or how many medals you've got. It matters what you give to the game and if you reach your full potential."
Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos, who played at left-back, was second in the 2002 Ballon d'Or, which was won by Brazil team-mate Ronaldo after their World Cup triumph that year.
England's Lucy Bronze, a right-back, came second to USA's Megan Rapinoe in the women's award in 2019.
Two full-backs have been nominated for the men's 2024 award - Spain and Real Madrid defender Dani Carvajal and Spain and Bayer Leverkusen's Alejandro Grimaldo. The ceremony takes place on Monday.
Real Madrid are reported to be interested in signing Alexander-Arnold, who is out of contract at the end of this season.
He has won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup at Liverpool, his boyhood club, and made more than 300 appearances.
Former England manager Gareth Southgate occasionally played Alexander-Arnold in midfield, including during Euro 2024.
Asked how he wants to be remembered after he retires, Alexander-Arnold said: "A legend of football, someone who changed the game.
"That is the main thing that I have - 'don't play the game; change the game'. I want that legacy of being the greatest right-back to have played football.
"I have got to reach for the stars and that's where I believe my ceiling can go."

Ballon d'Or? The total lack of self-awareness is quite staggering!

Notice there's no HYS comments section on this unintentionally hilarious piece. What a fucking scrote.
AND….. he’s a useless FB. He can cross the ball……..er, that’s it.
He is coming into his own now that Panto season approaches…..He’s behind you!

The state of this prick. Zero self awareness. Not even in the best 5 right backs in the PL.
