@@mahadomar3007 so you are telling me a season worth of good performances from guys like cole palmer and rudiger is worth less than a hat trick in a final?
I really don't understand the Rodri hate. The man had 25+ GA as a DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER. He was insanely important to both his teams and that is clearly demonstrated by the stats. From February of 2023, Manchester City lost 5 out of the 7 matches that Rodri wasn't playing in. With Rodri on the team in that same time period, Man City were undefeated for 52 weeks. The same cannot be said about Vini's importance to Madrid. Everyone has to realize that the Ballon d'or isn't just an award for strikers and wingers.
Rodri was not nominated for PL player of the season, Rodri was not UCL player of the season (vini) Rodri was not PFA player of the year his teammate foden was Rodri was not Man city’s player of the year again FODEN was Rodri didn’t get nominated for player of the month not even once and he wasn’t in UCL team of the season🤡

Rodri 100% deserved it. Him not being the best in either man city or Spain is complete bullshit. Rodri has reached a level where he has got the “Messi problem”. Setting the bar too high for himself so being the most dominant player on earth isn’t enough. The man almost hasn’t lost a game in the last 2 years. We all know city crumbles without Rodri. His stats as a 6 is better than modrics when he won it. He scores big goals, a complete workhouse and haven’t played a match where he didn’t run the fucking game all alone. Rodri is by far the player with the most impact on the game in the world. The team with Rodri doesn’t loose and that’s been the case for the last 2 years. This award is for xavi, iniesta, busi who all deserved it sometime in their careers if it weren’t for Messi. Not vini who would’ve won solely on being the least bad and boring player/attacker this year because of the drop in quality after Messi/ronaldo.
I appreciate your take, Michi, but I see things a bit differently. In my view, Rodri was by far City’s most consistent player that season, and it’s a shame he wasn’t even nominated for PFA Player of the Year-a real oversight, in my opinion. As for the Ballon d’Or, I don’t think we can say Vini deserved it outright; he only really shined in the second half of the season. If we’re basing it on half-season performances, Bellingham should be in the conversation too, as he was brilliant in the first half and had a better international campaign, helping England reach the Euro final, while Vini struggled with Brazil. Regarding comparisons with the Messi vs. Haaland debate from last year, I think we need to apply similar logic. Was Rodri as impactful for Spain as Messi was for Argentina? Probably not. But at the same time, Vini’s stats don’t match Haaland’s, so I don’t see a direct comparison there either. In the end, did Vini deserve the Ballon d’Or? Perhaps, but I believe Rodri was just as deserving. Calling this result a "robbery" feels like an overstatement to me.

He's my favorite player for 3 seasons now. I'm very happy. Now, this was a fair fight between Vini, Belli, Carva and Rodri (including Lautaro, I don't know why they didn't put him higher up). Saying that Vini will win it for the Champions League I don't think was the best factor. The Copa America was horrible for him. If you know about football, you know that Rodri has deserved it for a while now. The guy has been killing it both in the national team and at club level, and well deserved.
Rodri wasn't even the best player on that Spain team. Fabian Ruiz and Lamine Yamal were better than him. Rodri was probably the best player on City this year, but that's only due to KDB being out for so long. Vini was bad for Brazil but so was Bellingham for England. Carjaval was good in the euros but not great. The same can be said for Rodri. I personally think it should've gone to Lautaro. Best player in his league and best player in the Copa America with 35 G/A
real madrid not showing up is the most childish thing that happened all year. Last year the battle between haaland and messi was insanely close and the week before we knew messi was gonna win but man city still showed up
The difference is that, last year it was close, this year? Hell no. It wasnt close. Bellingham or Vini deserved it 100 percent. It's a disgrace to real Madrid, ofcourse they weren't going to come.
@@playboizakiya dude stop bringing up the greatest player of all time just bcs u mad that u had a nightmare week idc we all know vini deserved it still don't bring up Messi nobody is better then him
You spoke about only losing 2 games 😂, Rodri has the longest unbeaten streak in football history of 75 games, the only game he lost in recent years was the final of the fa cup were all the city players were drunk from winning a 4th premier league in a row, llow it bro
The reason madrid didnt go to the ceremony is because they were told for months that vini was going to win it, just for it to be changed last minute. Id be mad too if i were them
Yeah it’s very shady the year UEFA partners with FF is when all of this occurs especially given the recent beef between Perez and Ceferin for the super league 😅
@@priyamtarafder8122No he's not bigger than the club, but they feel disrespected. They said in their statement that they're not saying it 100% should have been Vini, but based on FF's own criteria then Carvajal had a bigger case than Rodri. They said they don't want to be where they're not respected which is fair
If I had a vote, it would've gone to Vini, but I think the reaction to Rodri winning is overblown, Vini wasn't so otherworldly, so clear of Rodri last season to the point where this reaction is warranted, people are talking about this as if Fabinho won the ballon d'or over messi in 2019. And the Madrid not showing up to the ceremony is just childish. Michi's takes are as spot on as usual
Vinnie played only 26 la Liga games , and was not essential to Real Madrid winning La Liga, Vinnie wasnt even average for Brazil he absolutely dogshit....he played well in only 1 tournament of note and that was in the CL and more specifically the later stages of the CL....Rodri was essential to Man City and Spain's success, he was not just part of the winning Teams , he was good for both club and country.He truly deserved his award and if it was a real Madrid player that would also be deserving for what he did for both club and country it would be Kross, who massively elevated Germany and another good shout would be Carvajal.
Vini was injured for 3 months and still put up a world class performance throughout the season. How was vini dogshit when had 2 goals 1 assist and was suspended for the next game? 3 g/a isnt dogshit and rodri wasn’t even cities best player neither Spains best player. Showing up in rhe latter stages of the season jusr shows how good he was. Rodri was KNOCKED OUT by vini jr and rodri was also subbed off at half time during the final of the euro and they end up winning without him on the pitch
@@lordpepsi7021 Vinnie being injured for 3 months is further prove why he should not be in any Balon Dor conversation....Real Madrid used their PR on the wrong candidate... Only 15 goals and 5 assists in La Liga and he played like trash in Copa America ...Being good in the latter stages of the CL is good but not good enough to be an automatic Balon Dor winner when the actual winner played well in all tournaments.... How can a defensive midfielder have more than double the assists in a league campaign than an attacking player but people want to spit nonsense that Vinnie deserves Balon Dor, absolutely nonsensical.
@@Rodney231 Imagine being injured for 3 months, coming back and putting up world class performances? Funny how you’re only looking at la Liga and acting like he was terrible in that, when the stats are good while also being amazing and showing up when Real Madrid needed him. Funny how you also didn’t deny anything about Rodri not being cities best player, and not being spains best player either. How could the balondor winner not even be nominated for being prem poty?
@lordpepsi7021 He was a bum in the Copa America as well .... I did not only mention La Liga...I said he was good in 1 out of 3 competitions that is not good enough for a player to win the Balon Dor much less to be throwing a tantrum for not winning, this behaviour has now made the world see his classless character...
michi i gotta disagree with your fairplay take, the ballon d'or represents the best player in the world and with that comes achievements but also how you act on the pitch messi and ronaldo are looked at as greats partially bcs of their leadership, whereas vini is known for being disrespectful on the pitch, nothing honourable about that.
You forgot one key criteria of the ballon d'or Vini wasn't going to win in: sportsmanship and fair conduct. That's what discouraged many of the journalists from voting Vini as the front runner.
@@michknoball not in a season where there is Euros and other international tournaments. Bro Vinicius was a flop in Brazil copa America and WC qualifiers. Jude was voted Madrid best player not Vini
Rodri won the UEFA Supercup , Club World Cup , Premier league and Community shield and the Euro and had over 20 goal tributions as a CDM so what could he have done more to win it 🤷🏿♂️
Look it's simple , the numbers and achievements Rodri a dm had last season was simply ridiculous and definitely extraordinary, something you're probably never going to see ever again. Vinicius jr as an out and out attacker with the numbers and stats he put up simply wasn't extraordinary, it just wasn't. Now if Rodri did not put up the same numbers as he did the. Absolutely it'll undoubtedly be Vinicius's trophy. You don't see or witness a Dm put up stats like that everyday. Objectively Rodri deserved it .
This has been an excellent week for football creampuff, except for ten hag getting sacked. I feel bad for the teams who never got to play against him 😢
Modric won the Ballon D'Or 2018 because of his good performance in the World Cup 2018. Messi won the Ballon D'Or in 2021 because he won Copa America especially. That means winning any league title and/or UCL isn't enough to win the Ballon D'or if there's an international tournament running in the same year (acc. to recent changed criteria) - First priority is to have good performance at the international stage which gives you 50% weightage (because it has more value), League titles and UCL/Copa Libertadores - 25%, Fair play and discipline - 25%. Vini lack performance in the int'l stage & fair play and discipline(which means he lost almost 75% weightage). So he didn't get enough votes. - Vini won the UCL and Laliga(especially team trophies doesn't take major part, your performance through out the season comes into account), However Ballon D'Or should be awarded to those whose alone performance has been impactful to the team but - Vini slipped in discipline and fair play and failed in international tournaments. It's easy and simple. - At the end this is the award voted by journalists from Top 100 FIFA ranking countries. The Ballon D'Or institution doesn't have to do anything with the players and award. Their task is to give an award based on who has received the highest vote. What else can we can do if Vini can't get enough votes? - There are many factors that could affect the journalist opinions about nominated players.
But least with modric and even messi, they were MoTM in like 3 or 4 games in their respective world cup or copa america campaign, Rodri only had one and like Michi even said, he wasn't even the best player for Spain, he only had one MotM for the game against Georgia (which c'mon they were never gonna lose against Georgia)
@rk-9835 all right so ballon d’or ranking now take into account where you are from? i suppose we shouldnt let any german get on the top 30 because of hitler
I wouldn't have had a problem with Vinicius winning. But I would have had a problem with Real Madrid fans who claim "The Ballon d'Or is worthless and rigged" when Messi wins it but when Vinicius was supposed to win "it would have proven that Vinicius has surpassed Neymar". It's either one or the other. You can't just pick and chose wether the Ballon d'Or matters or not. Lewandwoski attended in 2021, Haaland attended in 2023 yet the all-mighty Real Madrid felt so betrayed that no one of them showed up, not even Carvajal to congratulate Rodri 🤡
Im Genuinly happy rodri a premier league cdm won. Bro cooked at spain in the euro's 🇪🇸 loved watching him this year he might not the best contender for the ballon dor but man im just happy he won
Idk, I feel like Rodri deserved it. He was that X factor in the city team. Rodri had an INSANE unbeaten streak for city and I feel like he was pivotal in that UCL run and Prem run. He was underwhelming in the euros tho.
Rodri is far from an X factor lol, do you know the meaning of an X factor? Vini is the definition of an X factor, someone who can flip a game with a moment of brilliance
Rodri lowkey just saved us. These clowns can’t put Vini above Neymar, and Busquets’ legacy is intact since people think Rodri didn’t deserve it. We move😮💨
I don’t know bro. Just look at Modric. He won the Ballon D’Or and everybody thinks he is better than Xavi and Iniesta. People in 5-10 years will look at Rodri’s Ballon D’Or and think he is better than Busquets
In 2023, when Lionel Messi was a candidate for the Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid fans rallied around Erling Haaland, simply to prevent a player from Barcelona or any other club outside of Real Madrid from winning. This year, however, Rodri and Aitana Bonmati claimed the award, which highlights that the Ballon d'Or shouldn't be limited only to those with goals or titles. After all, it’s not only forwards who make up a team; a goalkeeper, for instance, represents half the team’s strength.
my head is on mars what a week it's been for us Barca fans beat Bayern in the UCL 4-1 beat Madrid 4-0 in the clasico Lamine hit the calma in the Bernabeu Lamine wins the Kopa Vini doesn't win the ballon d'or 💙❤️🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾
Barcelona fans: the biggest glory hunters in football. They are the most loyal when their club is winning well and their players or past players are getting Ballon D'ors. When their club isn't winning well? Well, they become Manchester City fans, they become Bayern fans, they celebrate every loss of Real Madrid. They don't care about Rodri but still celebrated Vini losing. The global fanbase of Barcelona originates from around the mid 2000s when their golden age started with Ronaldinho and later Messi, this era was an era of winning trophies and glories for them, actually they are the club that won most trophies in like the past 20 years. According to their glory hunting agenda against Real Madrid and their fans, they themselves are also glory hunters too! Barcelona fan mentality: "If you support Real Madrid whether they are winning or losing you are still glory hunting, I started supporting Barca when we were in our primes and upmost glory with Messi, but that's not glory hunting since we aren't doing so well now" You can be a Real Madrid fan from 2004 or 2008, probably some of the most uninteresting and least glorious years for Real Madrid, or from (2003 - 2013) when they didn't win a single UCL, and yet they will call you a glory hunter.
I think this really comes down to what you think is the bigger competition. The euro or the UCL. And i think objectively the Euro’s is the bigger, more important competition. Now did Rodri have a all time great euro run? No. Vini had a much more impressive ucl run then rodri had euro run but the euro’s simply happen every 4 years unlike the ucl and rodri was awarded pott for the bigger competition. We all know the award isn’t actually for the best player in the world its for the best player in the most decorated team that season. If it was actually about the best individual player in the world messi would have at least 12.

The difference is that, last year it was close, this year? Hell no. It wasnt close. Bellingham or Vini deserved it 100 percent. It's a disgrace to real Madrid, ofcourse they weren't going to come.
there was no clear winner this year all of the top 3 deserved it and everyone is the rightful winner
Madrid fanbase and institution is in complete meltdown. Never seen such pathetic acts from big club
Rodri deserves it 🇪🇸
Cole Palmer being 25 is insane. Having Lookman ahead of him is crazy. Not having Salah on this list is even worse.
Lautaro at 7 is the biggest robbery
Explained it perfectly, I 100% agree. Love your unbiased opinion as a fellow barca fan. Keeping it real !
Michi upload or else I’ll diddy on you
That ruled out goal of bayern gave vini ballon dor hope
i really appreciate your honesty

it was a 101% valid one though but faysal is so funny 😭

@@_h_i_2098 I would’ve ranked him higher than Carvajal
If he had won it wouldn't be as bad as Rodri
really surprised he wasn't top 5 at least
Rodri is so disrespected . How is he still underrated in 2024
Peak daylight robbery absolutely disgusting
You spoke about only losing 2 games 😂, Rodri has the longest unbeaten streak in football history of 75 games, the only game he lost in recent years was the final of the fa cup were all the city players were drunk from winning a 4th premier league in a row, llow it bro
where u at michi
this guy can't be serious no Barca fan thinks Vini should win it. Rodri was the best
Rodri only has like 9 less G/A then vini as a CDM which is crazy, rodri is insane
It’s really not crazy because vini was injured and out for 3 months so of course Rodri has more games played
Rodri 23 g/a
Vini 35 g/a
Math?
What about performances?
@@Casian291rodri had 27
@@Casian291 don’t look at g/a this is genuinely stupid vini was out for 3 months because of injury Rodri played almost all the games
Late night michi hits different 😭
Its funny cause months ago everyone was saying vini is goin to win it but vini himself knew it wasnt comfirmed but he ran with the banter
As a barca fan this week's hatewatch was generational
I like you man. Ur honest and especially as a Barca Fan. Huge Respect for you
The reason madrid didnt go to the ceremony is because they were told for months that vini was going to win it, just for it to be changed last minute. Id be mad too if i were them
Let them cry😂
@@ahhsbbsbbwclown
Yeah it’s very shady the year UEFA partners with FF is when all of this occurs especially given the recent beef between Perez and Ceferin for the super league 😅
Is Vini bigger than the club? This action makes it look like it, and if it happens then Madrid are on a downward spiral.
@@priyamtarafder8122No he's not bigger than the club, but they feel disrespected. They said in their statement that they're not saying it 100% should have been Vini, but based on FF's own criteria then Carvajal had a bigger case than Rodri. They said they don't want to be where they're not respected which is fair
Top 10 ranking at 17 is so crazy
Love this guys videos when I’m eating
Vini didn’t win because of his behavior on the field. One of the criteria for the ballon d’or is fair-play and being a class act
If I had a vote, it would've gone to Vini, but I think the reaction to Rodri winning is overblown, Vini wasn't so otherworldly, so clear of Rodri last season to the point where this reaction is warranted, people are talking about this as if Fabinho won the ballon d'or over messi in 2019. And the Madrid not showing up to the ceremony is just childish. Michi's takes are as spot on as usual
The ballon de oro also matters in International football
I needed this the most u biased person on yt appreciate you creampuff
Vinnie played only 26 la Liga games , and was not essential to Real Madrid winning La Liga, Vinnie wasnt even average for Brazil he absolutely dogshit....he played well in only 1 tournament of note and that was in the CL and more specifically the later stages of the CL....Rodri was essential to Man City and Spain's success, he was not just part of the winning Teams , he was good for both club and country.He truly deserved his award and if it was a real Madrid player that would also be deserving for what he did for both club and country it would be Kross, who massively elevated Germany and another good shout would be Carvajal.
Well said 1000% agree
Vini was injured for 3 months and still put up a world class performance throughout the season. How was vini dogshit when had 2 goals 1 assist and was suspended for the next game? 3 g/a isnt dogshit and rodri wasn’t even cities best player neither Spains best player. Showing up in rhe latter stages of the season jusr shows how good he was. Rodri was KNOCKED OUT by vini jr and rodri was also subbed off at half time during the final of the euro and they end up winning without him on the pitch
@@lordpepsi7021 Vinnie being injured for 3 months is further prove why he should not be in any Balon Dor conversation....Real Madrid used their PR on the wrong candidate... Only 15 goals and 5 assists in La Liga and he played like trash in Copa America ...Being good in the latter stages of the CL is good but not good enough to be an automatic Balon Dor winner when the actual winner played well in all tournaments.... How can a defensive midfielder have more than double the assists in a league campaign than an attacking player but people want to spit nonsense that Vinnie deserves Balon Dor, absolutely nonsensical.
@@Rodney231 Imagine being injured for 3 months, coming back and putting up world class performances? Funny how you’re only looking at la Liga and acting like he was terrible in that, when the stats are good while also being amazing and showing up when Real Madrid needed him. Funny how you also didn’t deny anything about Rodri not being cities best player, and not being spains best player either. How could the balondor winner not even be nominated for being prem poty?
@lordpepsi7021 He was a bum in the Copa America as well .... I did not only mention La Liga...I said he was good in 1 out of 3 competitions that is not good enough for a player to win the Balon Dor much less to be throwing a tantrum for not winning, this behaviour has now made the world see his classless character...
The best week ever
Vini had less G/A than mateta
michi i gotta disagree with your fairplay take, the ballon d'or represents the best player in the world and with that comes achievements but also how you act on the pitch messi and ronaldo are looked at as greats partially bcs of their leadership, whereas vini is known for being disrespectful on the pitch, nothing honourable about that.
No controversy in the first place
You forgot one key criteria of the ballon d'or Vini wasn't going to win in: sportsmanship and fair conduct. That's what discouraged many of the journalists from voting Vini as the front runner.
Mentioned that at the end of
Bro Balon Dor doesn’t revolve around UCL alone
Most of the time it does tho
@@michknoball not in a season where there is Euros and other international tournaments. Bro Vinicius was a flop in Brazil copa America and WC qualifiers. Jude was voted Madrid best player not Vini

Rodri a dm had last season was simply ridiculous and definitely extraordinary, something you're probably never going to see ever again. Vinicius jr as an out and out attacker with the numbers and stats he put up simply wasn't extraordinary, it just wasn't. Now if Rodri did not put up the same numbers as he did the.
Absolutely it'll undoubtedly be Vinicius's trophy. You don't see or witness a Dm put up stats like that everyday. Objectively Rodri deserved it .
madrid fans are pissed 😂😂 bro keep it up👍
@@Vedran.zuvela he will win one but not multiple
The reason for vini not winning is his behavior towards the refs in La Liga n disrespect to his opponents too
The funniest thing is in my opinion he wasn’t the best for either club or country
This has been an excellent week for football creampuff, except for ten hag getting sacked. I feel bad for the teams who never got to play against him 😢
Bad news for 19 other Premier League clubs and non Man Utd fans 😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺
Best week ever
Vini's performance for brazil was tragic he def lost the ballon d'or in Copa America.
Rodri deserves it because he was good for BOTH club and international level unlike vini who ghosted with Brazil
Bro Brazil without Neymar is so bad 😭
@@blindedlvr fr
Fair play and sportsmanship IS a factor taken into consideration according to official sources, and Vini has none of that. Deserved L for the jester.
Modric won the Ballon D'Or 2018 because of his good performance in the World Cup 2018.
Messi won the Ballon D'Or in 2021 because he won Copa America especially.
That means winning any league title and/or UCL isn't enough to win the Ballon D'or if there's an international tournament running in the same year (acc. to recent changed criteria)
- First priority is to have good performance at the international stage which gives you 50% weightage (because it has more value),
League titles and UCL/Copa Libertadores - 25%,
Fair play and discipline - 25%.
Vini lack performance in the int'l stage & fair play and discipline(which means he lost almost 75% weightage). So he didn't get enough votes.
- Vini won the UCL and Laliga(especially team trophies doesn't take major part, your performance through out the season comes into account), However
Ballon D'Or should be awarded to those whose alone performance has been impactful to the team but
- Vini slipped in discipline and fair play and failed in international tournaments. It's easy and simple.
- At the end this is the award voted by journalists from Top 100 FIFA ranking countries. The Ballon D'Or institution doesn't have to do anything with the
players and award. Their task is to give an award based on who has received the highest vote. What else can we can do if Vini can't get enough votes?
- There are many factors that could affect the journalist opinions about nominated players.
@@Vedran.zuvela you know the euros isnt only the final lol,
But least with modric and even messi, they were MoTM in like 3 or 4 games in their respective world cup or copa america campaign, Rodri only had one and like Michi even said, he wasn't even the best player for Spain, he only had one MotM for the game against Georgia (which c'mon they were never gonna lose against Georgia)
thanks michi for keeping it real
i dont even care about vini how did lautaro place 7th
True. Should’ve been 4th or 5th
@rk-9835 all right so ballon d’or ranking now take into account where you are from? i suppose we shouldnt let any german get on the top 30 because of hitler
@rk-9835 Cry more
Michi earning the big bucks after siding with Madrid 😂

I wouldn't have had a problem with Vinicius winning.
But I would have had a problem with Real Madrid fans who claim "The Ballon d'Or is worthless and rigged" when Messi wins it but when Vinicius was supposed to win "it would have proven that Vinicius has surpassed Neymar".
It's either one or the other.
You can't just pick and chose wether the Ballon d'Or matters or not.
Lewandwoski attended in 2021, Haaland attended in 2023 yet the all-mighty Real Madrid felt so betrayed that no one of them showed up, not even Carvajal to congratulate Rodri 🤡
Real madrid are a shameless club. I hope man city or barca go against them in the ucl to humble them
losing to Messi is one thing, losing to someone who wasn't the best on his own team or national team is a completely different thing.
@@Monki64 you could say the same thing about Modric in 2018 yet I didn't see Madrid fans complaining about CR7 or Griezmann getting snubbed

@fabiocaetanojunior3438 not going to the award ceremony is another level of being an immature person. Crazy how lamine has better maturity than vini
Yk what, daddy michi should have won
Im Genuinly happy rodri a premier league cdm won. Bro cooked at spain in the euro's 🇪🇸 loved watching him this year he might not the best contender for the ballon dor but man im just happy he won
Vini played sh*t during the Copa America... Vini started playing well in the 2nd half of the season, whereby he did well but it wasn't enough...
Dude, Vini was top5 contender from the start of the year on every betting site. Rodri wasn't even top10 anywhere until the euros ended.
@@MarkoPolo-f5tso you can play horrible in the copa america and win , by your logic Martinez deserves it
Idk, I feel like Rodri deserved it. He was that X factor in the city team. Rodri had an INSANE unbeaten streak for city and I feel like he was pivotal in that UCL run and Prem run. He was underwhelming in the euros tho.
What UCL run
Quarter final when they lost to Madrid?
@@godsonodili6757 Winning Euro cup gives more weight than winning UCL, as simple as that!
Rodri is far from an X factor lol, do you know the meaning of an X factor? Vini is the definition of an X factor, someone who can flip a game with a moment of brilliance
@@jsks-k3v euro run where he wasn't even the 3rd best player for Spain.
Load of crap
The main criteria for the ballon d’or changes ever year, this year it was international football. Congrats to Rodri
I didn’t really care who won this ballon dor 🤷♂️
Rodri lowkey just saved us. These clowns can’t put Vini above Neymar, and Busquets’ legacy is intact since people think Rodri didn’t deserve it. We move😮💨
u got people saying rodri over busquets now what are u on about?
I don’t know bro. Just look at Modric. He won the Ballon D’Or and everybody thinks he is better than Xavi and Iniesta. People in 5-10 years will look at Rodri’s Ballon D’Or and think he is better than Busquets
Vini has a better career than neymar already
He isin't the better player tho
It's only a matter of time tho, its gonna happen anyways
Rodri was robbed of pl player of the season btw. Even city fans will tell u he deserved it
In 2023, when Lionel Messi was a candidate for the Ballon d'Or, Real Madrid fans rallied around Erling Haaland, simply to prevent a player from Barcelona or any other club outside of Real Madrid from winning.
This year, however, Rodri and Aitana Bonmati claimed the award, which highlights that the Ballon d'Or shouldn't be limited only to those with goals or titles. After all, it’s not only forwards who make up a team; a goalkeeper, for instance, represents half the team’s strength.
Michi wya cuh
Messi and Ronaldo really set the standards so high because I personally feel like nobody did enough to win it
Carvajal
@@realnimrod3436 True
It's safe to say that Madrid failed to show up at two events this week.

lovely days for barca fans
Barcelona fans: the biggest glory hunters in football. They are the most loyal when their club is winning well and their players or past players are getting Ballon D'ors. When their club isn't winning well? Well, they become Manchester City fans, they become Bayern fans, they celebrate every loss of Real Madrid. They don't care about Rodri but still celebrated Vini losing.
The global fanbase of Barcelona originates from around the mid 2000s when their golden age started with Ronaldinho and later Messi, this era was an era of winning trophies and glories for them, actually they are the club that won most trophies in like the past 20 years. According to their glory hunting agenda against Real Madrid and their fans, they themselves are also glory hunters too!
Barcelona fan mentality: "If you support Real Madrid whether they are winning or losing you are still glory hunting, I started supporting Barca when we were in our primes and upmost glory with Messi, but that's not glory hunting since we aren't doing so well now"
You can be a Real Madrid fan from 2004 or 2008, probably some of the most uninteresting and least glorious years for Real Madrid, or from (2003 - 2013) when they didn't win a single UCL, and yet they will call you a glory hunter.

I think this really comes down to what you think is the bigger competition. The euro or the UCL. And i think objectively the Euro’s is the bigger, more important competition. Now did Rodri have a all time great euro run? No. Vini had a much more impressive ucl run then rodri had euro run but the euro’s simply happen every 4 years unlike the ucl and rodri was awarded pott for the bigger competition. We all know the award isn’t actually for the best player in the world its for the best player in the most decorated team that season. If it was actually about the best individual player in the world messi would have at least 12.
