This right here, was a deciding factor. This is why it's difficult to have superstars in one team that have players that have set their sight on the same award. It'll take them reaching a conclusion like Iniesta Messi and Xavi, for them to achieve anything as it is, or one of them have to become extraordinary and churn out very big numbers in stats.

True.

Bellingham was equally really good last season so he also had a good shout. Don't know why funnily Madridistas moved all the hype to Vini.

They're forgetting Bellingham with English media hype was the face of Madrid dominance early last season especially after those yeye late El Classicos goals.
EPL bloc will surely vote their own. Spain is a powerhouse also in deciding factor in Europe and Rodri was their national champion, also being in Man City assured some votes splits in EPL voters.

So critically analysing it this way, Vini had an uphill battle against these two unless he showed exceptional performance that was undoubted. They all seemed similarly competent to win it, with Vini and Rodri being the frontrunners.
Vini's average performance in Copa America didn't do him any favours especially when Rodri was turning in Masterclasses with that superb winning goal at the Euros.

They thought him "gingering" the crowd was enough. Who send am message to become Davido? He had a terrible outing with Brazil and they thought it was going to fly under the radar just like that.


The real person that should be mad should be Jude but of course, there's an entitled brother that doesn't recognize that because he thought he was there first.


Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

🚩 Vincent Garcia (France Football): "Vinicius suffered from the presence of Bellingham and Carvajal in the top 5. That took away some voting points from him.

This sums up Real Madrid's season, which had been between 3 and 4 players and the journalists shared their decisions between them, which benefited Rodri.”

And there is Barcelona that once had 3 players in top 3 twice (?).

Iniesta sharing votes with Xavi also stopped him from winning the Balon dor.

FirstbornWds:
We are not them.

I am talking about 2010 balon dor when Iniesta finished 2nd and Xavi 3rd. Same thing happened in 2019 with Liverpool votes shared between Van dijk, Mane and Salah. When a club has multiple top contenders votes will always be shared.

I didn't follow this conversation from the start but this spot on...

With that said, it's different here. If Barca had a two players in the running for it then a player from another team. That Barca player wins. Things are different here!

Bombblacks:
Spanish players were in the running for it due to their 2010 world cup triumph with Xavi and iniesta being the front runners. Both of them shared votes which allowed Messi to win. Xavi even said it.


Xavi: Ballon d'Or 2010? It's a voting issue, there's no debate... If people vote, so be it.

In Spain the votes were widely distributed, they voted for Iniesta,me, Villa, Casillas, Puyol, Ramos...

The votes were widely distributed.

Rodri finally exposed the fraud of a DM called Busquets. How can you be the greatest Defensive Midfielder and you couldn't do the defensive aspect of your position well?

Rodri >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Busquets.
