Michael Owen won it too

True bro
.. So na only CRonaldo and Owen. The rest na oldies..

Cristiano Ronaldo (1)
Denis Law (1)
Bobby Charlton (1),
George Best (1),
Michael Owen (1),
Stanley Mathews (1).

Ronaldo won the remaining 4 in Laliga.

So they barely win it. Just 6 epl players while Seven Real Madrid players had won the award 11 times in the past with Ronaldo winning four

Well, only haters rescind the known fact that Cristiano is the goat of EPL... no other player has ever won both Ballondor and FIFA Best, even Blatter couldn't steal if for Pessi as usual that year....

Man utd legend
Epl legend
Madrid legend
Laliga legend
Juventus legend
SerieA legend
Portugal legend
Ucl legend
European legend
World legend
GOAT of all time, just a little bit below Pele and Maradona

The English Premier League is the leader in viewership across the globe.

The English premier league is also Considered the toughest league competition in the world.

English premier league also surpasses all others in terms of financial might like spending outrageous amount of money on buying or selling their players.

But Why is that Ballon d'Or winner barely comes out of England despite being considered the most toughest and most viewed football league in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo was the last person that won it in English premier league 2008 when he was playing for Manchester united.

2020 there was no Ballon d'Or winner due to corona virus outbreak but assuming it held we all know it was not coming to England. The award was going to Robert Lewandowski in Germany, FC Bayern Munich.

The Ballon d'Or award is an annual football award for the best player over the previous year. The recent winner of the Ballon d'Or award is a Real Madrid player, Karim Benzema.

Is it that English premier league players are just overrated and hyped? Or is it that if you want to create name for yourself premier league is the right place But if you want to win trophies Spanish league is the right place?? Please let share our thoughts on this issue.
that’s because English premier league is the most difficult league where bottom line team will beat a team topping the league, in Spanish league or Budisliga or Italian serie A n French league you can easily spot who will win the league from January and there are mostly only 3 or four contenders while premiership Leceister city can come out from know where and win league, individual football in premier league they can give you one season after then next one when defenders mount guard on the player he won’t even score like thr previous season, Give Kudos to Manchester United for being the only team that has produced world best in premier league, I am red cheesy cheesy

How about players like continho, hazard, Alexandra Hleb, Song, e.t.v. that are stars in England but performed woefully in Spain. The fact is that, Joint football is where you can rate player from every part of the world. World cup of champions league, where English league perform less than Spanish. That is all.

In UCL, Only Real and Barca has been able to win it in the history of La Liga even though Spanish teams have won it more but 5 EPL teams have won UCL, if I'm correct.

That's because their talents don't play in just 2 teams unlike La Liga.

EPL competitiveness is what's killing their performance in UCL. Just imagine all the star players in EPL in just Liverpool and Man City?

Imagine Ronaldo, Auba, Salah, Haaland and Nunez in the same team fighting for shirt? This is similar to what Spanish teams have been enjoying for years.

The competition does not end with kicking of ball. It goes into having huge money to buy players, money to pay high earning players and money to attract quality managers.

To be fair both Spanish based Ronaldo and messi have been sharing the award for the past 10 years...

I predict haaland winning it soon with man city.

English premiere league is so difficult.
even more difficult than Spanish La-Liga.
It's only in the English premier league that you can win the golden boot by scoring only 19 goals.
Cristiano Ronaldo & other great strikers in all their seasons in the premier league never managed to score more than 50 goals in a season.
It's only in the Spanish la-liga that players like Ronaldo & Messi managed to score 80 goals or more in a calender year because of how easy the league is.
And most times the number of goals you score, determines your position on the balon-dor list.
Even players like Negrado & Jesus Navas who flopped in the premier league, became stars when they switched to La-liga.
If you win the golden boot by scoring only 19 goals, then it speaks to your creativity and finishing.

For a League that is claimed to be very tough, Guardiola Spain trained came in and broke all the scoring and points records.

So please say something else. The English premiership's major claim to fame is its packaging and money.

Speaking of which how many goals has haaland scored again?

Oh yeah! He dropped form for 3 years. If it happened to a former EPL player, it's "he dropped form", "he just got married" or any funny thing you guys can conjure up. It happens to a player coming to the EPL? "EPL tough", "power and pace" blah blah. You guys are irredeemable.

Big teams in Premier league are trash. The small teams they struggle against at home regularly get annihilated in Europa league. Westham is not better than Real Sociedad, Leicester is not better than villareal when you compare the small teams in Premier league to small teams in other leagues you will see that they are not better than anyone. Big Premier league teams are weak that's the problem

First of all, Cristiano became a goal scoring machine after he left Man United. Secondly, there are also players who flop in other leagues and end up playing well in the EPL. Can you glance through the Balon' Dor list and tell me which Premier League player is/was better than any of the guys that have won it? Players like Maradona and Ronaldo R9 played in the toughest league in the world in their time and still won the best player award so many times, so let's stop making excuses for these guys abeg. Cheers.
