Bellend will get it. Plays for Real so that's a big leg up.

I’ll be amazed if Rodri wins it. I don’t think we’ll ever see a City player win it.

All the rumours have come from this.

There are barely any bookies offering odds but Vinicius Jr is odds on fav, with Rodri quite a distant second fav with nobody else near.

It’s standard for rumors like this prior to the event.

But basing it off history there’s always an attackers bias, you add Madrid to that and well, anything but Vinicius lifting it would be a miracle.

when did everyone start giving a shit about this award, its utter bollocks?

I don't think anyone actually does, but it would be deserved for Rodri, and people do care about him.

when did everyone start giving a shit about this award, its utter bollocks?

i am so glad Pep said he did not care who won it. Its voted by sports writers, whose shortlists never reflect player/coach lists.

I find the endless hype about it really irritating. It means nothing. It’s a team sport. Why are City flying entire planes full of people over for it?!

Championships mean something. Trophies.

Hear, hear

Football is a team sport and I will never understand individual awards unless it's from your teammates
Awards like this only boost your image rights and the Fifa and Uefa media rights.
