First ballon d’or for player playing outside of europe
Fully deserved, an all time performance in the WC where he dragged Argentina from the group stage to lift the cup. Also 20+ goals and 20+ assists in club level is also overlooked, he was very essential especially in the first half of the season
First Ballon d’or winner to have won the leagues cup.
Meh I would have still given it to Haaland and I’m a Liverpool fan. He had a far better season than Messi even WITH Messi winning the World Cup. Statistically haaland was on another level.
Yes fully deserved! i enjoyed watching all the tears from the haters lol (who are suddenly haaland fans this yr for some reason).
also im curious, if mbappe won the WC, i wonder who will win the ballon d’or. I will still give it to mbappe due to that ridiculous final performance, but idk.
