Tonight is the Ballon d'Or ceremony.
Pogba 14th?
Apparently, being transfered bumps the quality of your season

Sad but no surprise. Not much of anything CR does better than Messi apart from head the ball. Dumb award anyway.
CR7 did much more this past year than Meesi. It's all about what have you done for me lately.
I would like this award more if it wasn't all about the forwards.It's a tragedy when a guy like Buffon will never get a sniff because he's just a fantastic goalkeeper.
So had Messi scored that PK and Argentina won the Copa America he would have won it? Is that how it works?
Nah, I'll remind people that the Ballon d'Or has re-separated itself from UEFA.
Meaning only journalists vote for this award, just like it was years ago.
So it's heavily focused on the summer big competition, which was always a big drawback of the former vote (but still better than the "best player award period" from the last few years).
Ronaldo won it because he had a great CL run last season and his team won the Euro (even though his contribution was minimal to say the least).
Griezmann was there because he too had a great CL run and a great Euro (much better than Ronaldo). But in the end, Ronaldo winning both titles assured him the award.
