How in the world do you think Cristiano Ronaldo would win the Ballon d'Or with his present performance and the league he is playing in. Raphinha and Yamal are in better form than the Portuguese skipper.
He has more goals, has won more titles and is the best in history, Yamal does not, he lost the Nations League, he did not even reach the final of the UCL, in that sense if we are objective the one who can win everything including the Ballon d'Or is Vitnha, Raphinha does not because he did not win the UCL either.
You really have a good point here, football right now is all about numbers, how many trophy do you win, how many goals and assist were you able to register in your name and how impactful were you to achieving all this.
I have said this before and am still going to say it again, if Lamine yamal is given the ballon d'Or with this his very poor numbers register to his name, Cristiano Ronaldo will be proving right that the ballon d'or award have lost it credibility.
Even in that Barcelona team, raphinha has a better goal and assist more than this Lamine yamal that most people are clamouring about, so giving him this award will make no sense in my own opinion, when their are players that did well and even have numbers and trophies more than him this season.
