Ballon D'or 2021: Who wins it?

[luiginb]

Everyone knows how good Rodri is. I have no problem with Rodri winning. I just think if anyone should have been higher it’s Lautaro. I also don’t think the BDO voters are looking at FBRef

They're journalists, as long as they don't watch every single game the 30 nominees play, they should, it's one of many statistical sources they can use.

They should. But there is no way that they do

The funny thing about Madrid here is that it isn’t really about poor Vinicius Junior not winning when he (according to them) was the rightful winner. It’s about the Ballon d Or winner, whomever that might be, not being in their team. That’s the issue for them. It’s all about perpetuating their phony image.

And if you really want to put Perez into context, their training ground is laughably called Florentino Perez Real Madrid City.

Just to bust the revisionist myth that Carvajal had the best ever season for a RB, I’ll provide two clear examples to the contrary.

First is Dani Alves in 2010-11. On the way to winning both the league and CL with Barca, he had 2 goals and 15 assists (yes, 15) in the league and added another 2 goals and 3 assist in the CL.

Second is Philip Lahm in 2012-13. On his way to winning a Treble with Bayern as the team’s captain he had 11 assists in the league and another 4 assists in the CL.

Two obvious examples. Dani Alves’ 2006-07 season with Sevilla is up there to name just one more that is likely forgotten.

Absolutely, but I find it hard to call 34 goals in 37 NT matches underperformance.

You should take a look at who he scores against.
