Rodri - The 2024 Ballon d'Or Winner! (Pg 131)

[Josh_D]

You’re telling me former winners of the trophy watched Mainoo and thought he should be mentioned alongside those other players? Absolute bs

 

[deano ou812]

None.

Last year it was on BBC iPlayer and TNT Sports. It was originally listed as being on TNT2 before today then it was taken from the schedule.

Probably got wind of a Rodri win so cancelled it ..

Martinez getting booed by the French public is quite amusing tbf

Russell Kane will be loving that

Why have people been backing Vinicius?published at 19:45 Greenwich Mean Time​

There has been a shocked reaction to reports that Vinicius Jr will not travel to Paris tonight after failing to win the Ballon d'Or.

The shock largely comes from the fact that Vinicius, for many, was the surefire favourite.

He scored 24 goals during the 2023-24 season, helping Real Madrid win three trophies including La Liga and the Champions League.

He scored six Champions League goals, including in the final against Borussia Dortmund and twice against Bayern Munich in the semis.

He wasn’t even Real Madrid’s best player last season (that was Valverde).

Plodri up for the award ?

Come on. Own up and cleanse yourselves. You know. Those that wrote him off before giving him a chance.

Nobody wrote him off, we just wrote off the popularity contest that is this award.

In fairness, City's players have basically had absolutely no credit for their performances in any individual awards over the past 10 years. Case in point, David Silva won four Premier Leagues, was arguably our best player throughout his time here, and won the Player of the Month just once in 10 years. That's twice less than Ashley Young. And if you think that's bad, Kevin De Bruyne has never won it.

While looking that up, I also found out that Yaya Toure never won a Man of the Match award for us.

And how many goals did Erling score two years ago on the way to winning the Treble?

From Rodrizontal to (Potential) Ballon d'Or winner
