Yeah the only person who I can see in the top 5 and is not a Real player is Rodri. I hope he is there once again, I would appreciate more defensive minded players in the race. There's only been 15 players in the top 10 in the last 10 years.
Don't get me wrong but Kroos is not in the race. Anti-madridistas are trying to hype him because they hate Jude and Vini. Excellent season from Kroos, but he is far from being the best player in the world at the moment. He is not even the best german of the season, at best top 3 germans.
lmao, bullshit comment of the day. I was saying since october that Kroos is our best player and I stand by this even more now. He didn't have a single bad match and was healthy and consistent from day one to last day of the season. He deserves it most and after him Vinicius is clear. Usually I don't care about impact in international football but Germany was in mud and the moment he came back they didn't lose a single match and it's day and night with him for Germany.
Gotta take into account that it’s very very rare for a midfielder to win it, bookies give you 15x your money on Kroos, 1.7x on Vini and like 4x on Bellingham.
Same thing happened when Messi won the ballon d’or, just because of a 2 week tournament taking penalties, the whole year he wasn’t even top 5 in Europe. This award means nothing
Saying Vini doesn't deserve the balon d'or cause he only has 37 G+A is as deluded as it gets. A lot of players had less than 30 G+A prior to the Messi and Ronaldo era. The MFs who say football has fallen off because of this goes on to say the old era was the true era lmao.
And the Jude hate is unmatched too. Dude had like 40 G+A when he was tried in a new position, in a new club where even a slight bad game is criticised. And unlike other high scoring mids, dude is also constantly involved in several defensive aspects. The biggest comedy here is that MCFC fans seem to be the biggest haters of Jude now. Just going to their sub and you can see the majority asking to change Jude's pos or even drop Jude for Foden, lmao.
where do you see the hate? most people are on Vini camp and if he manages to continue his performance on Copa he will win balon dor even if Brazil fails to win.
But some people do have problem with Jude and there's some solid reason behind it. But if England really ends up winning the euro and Jude score a few more big goals, there's huge chance he will be the front runner
People and voters put wayyyy too much emphasis on these tournaments that are such a small sample size compared to the rest of the season - heck even a smaller sample size than a full UCL season- BUT in a year like this where after the CL it was pretty close between Vini Jude and Mbappe- it does make sense that if any of them lights up the euros that that’d be the tie breaker (imo euros should hold more weight than the copa cuz of higher competition)
It should be Kroos imo, he's already reached the quarters, even if he plays well and they get knocked out, I'd give it to him. Since he returned, Germany didnt lose.
Not to mention how crucial he was to RM this whole season. Without him one can argue La Liga and UCL are not won together. Should definitely be him, enough with the forwards bias.
Who is mad about this? Maybe some Madrid fans who think it should be Kroos? I'd argue it probably isn't close with Vini being well above Jude, but I haven't heard ANYONE advocate for a non-Madrid player.
Brazil has very little chance of winning the copa considering the present form they are in. And Germany is in their 2014 form! Kroos has the max chance of winning it
Imagine if Brazil wins Copa but Vini is a ghost in the tournament.
England - Germany final, Belli drops an insane performance yet Germany wins at pens.
Gl with the voting
1. I guess you are in a Madrid bubble then. Clubs like Madrid, psg and city have the „problem“ that many fans just like players and not the club. They choose the club where most of their idols play and suddenly these corrupt and stupid prizes get important.
2. you will find a different opinion on everything in the internet, but ppl who will say vini and Bellingham don’t belong to the very best football players right now are so rare, I’ve never seen any1 in rl call such rubbish.
"They hate us coz they ain't us"
The winner is Real Madrid
Euro and Copa will be a deciding factor between Jude, Vini and Kroos who all had a big part in our run this season and are the current favorites

It hurts right😆
stick to tennis and cricket
😆
It hurts more when people defend that
Kroos for Ballon D’or 100% if Germany wins. Should be a no brainer

Man Shitty fans are the most delusional fanbase in all of sports
Degenerate Barca fans have found bigger degenerates in Plastic City fans. Wait for 5-6 years. They all would disappear.

Continue his performances? He’s had one good game. He is terrible in the Brazil shirt.

Bro really tried to sneak Mbappe in there like we wouldn’t notice.
? He was top 3 as per rankings lol
He must have been immense before quarters and semis because those are the only psg matches I saw and he was not top 3 in those.
I think a number of Real Madrid players have shown Ballon d'Or performance this year. Logic and experience says Messi should win it. /s
It should be Kroos imo, he's already reached the quarters, even if he plays well and they get knocked out, I'd give it to him. Since he returned, Germany didnt lose. Not to mention how crucial he was to RM this whole season. Without him one can argue La Liga and UCL are not won together. Should definitely be him, enough with the forwards bias.
Put yourself in the shoes of any other club and the answer will come to you.
because they play for Real Madrid, it's that simple

>Vini is a ghost in the tournament. Vin already scored 2 NPG , you clown. Something Messi could not do at 3 Copas.
U fucking clown i meant onwards. I actually want Vini to win, given my scenario it would be fun to see how the voting would play out. Holy sheet kid
What is meant by NPG goals? Anyone explain me pls
"non penalty goals"
I hope Vini gets it, apart from his 2 goals Jude hasn't done much in any of the games
1. who cares about Ballon dor 2. Bellingham and vini are spoiled kids, no1 Denies they are insane football players
1. literally everyone, it's the most prestigious award in football 2. there are people that deny that
1. I guess you are in a Madrid bubble then. Clubs like Madrid, psg and city have the „problem“ that many fans just like players and not the club.
