The whole Ballon d'Or thing is just Americanised-style bullshit designed to be another channel to commercialise the sport for profit nowadays. 30 years ago it was a fringe award, presented with very little fanfare, but now its got a whole ceremony dedicated to it, with a global audience; it's all very odd, and has been turned into a monster through the tiresome Ronaldo v Messi debate.
Messi's wins in 2021 and 2023 undermine its true legitimacy IMO. He clearly wasn't the best player in the world in those years, yet walked away with the trophy. Strong argument to suggest him and his Barcelona cronies also robbed Wesley Sneijder in 2010. Take away those 3 wins, and he'd be on the same number of Ballon d'Ors as Ronaldo, which is probably a true reflection of their rivalry over the last couple of decades. Bet Ronnie was spitting feathers last night. |
