re: No Ballon D’Or thread? Is the fatigue that bad?

Did Modric win bc of his club play?

That was certainly a big part of it.

Regardless, whether or not who should have won that year, Haaland should have won this year.

I think what bothers me the most was that it became obvious that there was nothing Haaland could do. The Ballon D’or was effectively just the World Cup Golden Ball.

Messi's acceptance speech basically said he thought Haaland should have won it and will win in future. Oh well, way to out GOAT.
