Ballon d'Or winner should go to Champions League winner

[SuperBitMan]

It's already clearly written on the walls that Dembele is the favorite to win Ballon D'or and I hope that it will be given to him without any sentiment from FIFA. Dembele won four trophies including the Champions League and Super Cup. How many trophies did Yamal win last season. These are what should be put into consideration before giving the award to the wrong person.

I know that FIFA wouldn't try to manipulate this one because there are a lot of side talks on how this award has lost its credibility. Yamal is good but his achievements wasn't up to that of Dembele last season. Maybe, he might win tha of next year.

I'm not surprised that FIFA tries to manipulate the result in favor of other players, they have done it in the past and will do it again with Messi, he has kind of turned the world upside down, I'm just saying that some of the Ballon d'Ors he has won have been unfairly awarded to him, that's why this competition is worth little

Let's not judge like that for now however you may be right that some Ballon d'or given to Messi he does not deserve it however in all the Ballon d'Or he was given those year he really performed very well so one can't entirely say he did not deserve it entirely, Leo Messi is a very good player and he performed very well and everyone knows that he is one of the greatest player that have ever lived so we can't really say he did not deserve it, FIFA need to give a very good standard when it comes to giving players Ballon d'Or so that everyone will know that this is their true standard and any player that got that standard as that year will be given the Ballon d'Or, but since they always change their standard every year it is clear that they are bias which is not supposed to be so, a lot of people are already losing that respect given to Ballon d'Or and if they continue with this kind of bias attitude when giving the Ballon d'Or the Ballon d'Or will lose it value in the world of football.

Guys, just a reminder that I think confuses a lot of people, and I completely understand, because I used to think the same thing

It's not FIFA that awards the Ballon d'Or, but the French magazine France Football
From 2010 to 2015, there was a partnership with FIFA, but that partnership has ended
This award has been around since 1956

FIFA has its own award called FIFA The Best

The decision will be made on September 22nd among many possible names

Obviously there are also categories that we have never considered, such as women's football, in any case there are about 20 days left to know who will be the Ballon d'Or winner of 2025

Strikers and sometimes midfielders are more favoured in the selection of the winner of the Ballon d'Or. Defenders are not given the same privilege as others. Since the Yashin Trophy is reserved for goalkeepers, there should be another award reserved for defenders. I want to see some good defenders get recognition for their hard work and contribution to the beautiful game of football.

FIFA may not be in charge of the Ballon Dior, but they also have a say and decision about the award, FIFA president attend the program whenever they want to give the award to the player that win it, what I mean is that the France football magazine are in charge of the award, and they give it to any player they want, but they also let FIFA know about the winner and who should win the award, That is why the Ballon Dior has lost credibility, and the FIFA Best award is the best award in football history. In the last two seasons, Vinicius won the FIFA Best Award but did not win the Ballon Dior, which shows how corrupt the Ballon Dior is.

I don't see Ballon Dior as a big award in football because of how they change the criteria every season. Using different criteria every season has caused the award to lose credibility because some players would rather win the Champions League than the Ballon Dior because they know they won't win it even if they had a chance to win it.

Exactly how it feels being a defender.
Honestly, this years balloon d'or, there is no clear outstanding performer. It would have been Salah but he did not make it to the champions league finals according to Ronaldo's logic.
I also do think that if defenders were given thr credence that is due them, Dembele wouldn't be mentioned ahead of Hakimi but it is sad that no system is perfect. Defenders are disadvantaged in this one.
The award should be;
1. Best goal keeper
2. Best midfielder
3. Best striker
and there won't just be an overall best.

If winning this award is based on trophy wise then I think Dembele will definitely win the award because the dude has more trophy than Lamine Yamal but if it not rated by trophy wise then Lamine Yamal will win the award because what Lamine Yamal is playing at his age, no player, no legendary or hero has done it at this particular age that yamal is now and so it is an encouraging one and giving him the award will also motivate and boost his zeal and passion in football but the thing is if Dembele doesn't win this award he can never win it again but Lamine Yamal still has time and it is possible he can win in the future.

For as long as I can remember, the Ballon d'Or goes to the player who is awarded it because he has won almost all the competitions, including the UCL, and who has scored the most goals. So, in view of this, they are now diverting it to biases that make no sense For example, I never agreed when they gave it to Messi and not Lewandowski, when they gave it to Rodri and not Vini, those things are disappointing. Don't be surprised that they give it to the immature child Yamal.

This is the current criterion for choosing the Ballon d'Or winner
Basically, 100 sports journalists from around the world make the selection
