Yaaamaaaaaaal
No disrespect to salah honestly but he dosent deserve the ballondor this year he literally ghosted against psg and not so long ago arsenal thats the person you want to win honestly
Why does NO one think club world cup could take an impact for this year?? Whether you're for or against the tournament, yall kept doing the same mistake IGNORING international tournaments for past couple of years now!! 🤦♂️
Kids and big kids need heroes. Lamine Yamal is the guy that people desire to be the next hero.
This guys are insane on taking salah name he has won only premier league 😂 this guy has zero ball
Knowledge only they do favouritism on salah
I think this 17 year old narrative is getting to a lot of people’s heads and is clouding the minds of a lot of folks.
Mohamed Salah should win the ballon D’or this year Insha Allah
So stats doesn’t matter anymore? Just aura?
Barca or former barca player
Salah all day, every day
Only ANTONY 🔥deserves it like be fr 🐐
SALAH deserve it but unfortunately they will never give it to an African player that’s a fact
Raphinha should be the ballon d'or. He has been the best player in the champions league and most consistent this season, he scored goals in rounds 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and in the 2 games of 1/8, 1/4, and semi-final 13⚽. Assists in rounds 2, 4, 8, 1/8, 1/4, and SF G/A 22. Liga 18 ⚽ ,11 A , clasicos vs real Madrid 6⚽ ,6 A , Total 34⚽ and 25 A ÷ Goals / A 59.
Why does this fool keep calling him Lamal ?🤣🤣 the way he talks it sounds like English isn’t his first language, but then he has a British accent I can’t figure it out 😂
Winning anything woth PSG in ligue 1 shouldnt count for anything
Lamine balon d or yamal!
If it is purely for the best player in the world and not team achievements, then yamal is the best player in the world no question
Yamal pr is insane 😂😂😂
Dembele 100%
Yamal or Martinez and I'm good
What is that trash player Lautaro doing in that list, did daddy infantino get him a nomination, what a joke for him to be listed he should be ashamed
Raphinha has a 50+ GA, on top of that equals Ronaldo’s ucl record of 22 GA in ucl and has been the favourite to win or runner up all season long. I mean he has the numbers, he has the trophies(Domestic treble)and he’s been sensational give him the ballon dor
Salah is the best!
I’m not from the Middle East nor Africa.
Born Hispanic In Los Angeles.
But I am a Liverpool fan 😂
40 goals from Mbappe cant even get you in the convo? Ridiculous!
But why is no one talking about Pedri? People focus a whole lot more on final output. But football is beyond the final output. Pedri literally controls the pace of the game. He has the highest ball retrieval stat in Europe right now.
If we're going stats its salah if we're doing ucl its dembele if its eye test its lamine and raphina has been consistently performing all season even in ucl with 13 goals
