🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪: Michael Olise in 25/26
•82 G/A
•41 goals
•41 assists
•3 trophies
•7 assists at the World Cup (most)
Despite all of this Lionel Messi finished ahead of him in the Ballon D'or rankings! 😳🏆
If he’d won in 2018, he would have overtaken Messi by 5–6, coming back from 4–1 to 2012
But the corrupt system & mercenary press wouldn’t allow it; they prevented things from taking their natural course.
Since then, the criteria have only changed in favour of the usual suspect.
If Haaland, the best overall player of 2023, could lose the Ballon d’Or because of the World Cup, Messi shouldn’t have finished top 3 in 2010 cuz he couldn’t even score a goal.
Rodri won the 2026 World Cup and Golden Ball but missed the top 3 implying WC isn’t enough.
Alexis Sánchez won Copa América and POTT in 2016 plus good Arsenal run but he wasn’t ranked at all but different case for Messi in 2021.
The criteria is only flexible when Messi benefits.
Ballon d'Or voting committee looked at Erling Haaland a player who won a historic treble, broke every scoring record on earth in 2022/2023 season, dominated Europe, only to hand the trophy to Messi because of brand safety.
The first trailer for ‘开到荼蘼’ has been released at today’s Tencent conference as part of the 2027 drama lineup! 🎥
Starring Bai Lu, Chang Huasen, and Samantha Ko, with a special appearance by Peng Guanying.
Dilraba’s iconic butterfly video has inspired many people to recreate this scene with their own portraits using AI.
