The Most Controversial Ballon d'Or Winners in History 

i’m a messi fan but Nitro Football deserved the ballon d’or

Marco Reus not winning the champions league is the actual disgrace 😢😢😢

I am so sad for lewandowski he deserves that so bad

The "Henry should have won the Ballon d'Or in 2003-2004" is a clear case of "presentism" and recency bias, especially since fans ONLY use goal contributions to explain how he was better than Nedved and Shevchenko. Nowadays, after the Messi and Ronaldo era, fans act as if goal contributions are everything that matters when determining how good a player is (which is unfair for defenders and goalkeepers), but it wasn't a case 20 years ago. Look at 2002: Ronaldo had so little goal contriibutions that fans would feel like he only turned up at the World Cup, that's it. However, very few people would have argued about the decision of awarding him the Ballon d'Or.

Great stuff man👌🏾. Correction though: Chelsea vs Barcelona 2009 was the semi final and the Invincible season was 2003/04

The idea that Henry should have won the ballon d'or instead of Nedved is quite a new one and only really prevelent in english media. I remember in 2003, when Nedved got it, no one saw it as a robbery, as he was just that good. Great Video btw

Something to remember is that the balon d’or in the messi Ronaldo era, is different to the time before. The world player of the year award is the equivalent in terms of prestige

Not mentioning Griezmanns 2016 is a disgrace. He was one penalty shootout away from winning Ballon Dor, in a peak Messi-Ronaldo era when they were both still in their prime years. If he won UCL that season he wouldve 100% won it that year. Carried Atletico to the UCL final, carried France to the Euro final. Definition of underrated.

Best football channel

Nice video mate👍🏻.

Wayne Rooney could have been a shout if he wasn't behind Messi and Ronaldo a few years. Love the vids!

Great videos

if vini doesn't win the ballon Dore, Im going to start up a youtube football channel to compete with you.

Such good videos

You are awesome 👍,but advise you add in some editing mixing it up with highlights, that will get people more interested , they listen as they watch

All I can say is that the ballon d’or is a voted award, even Ronaldo said that

I know you're gonna become famous, so I subscribed in your 1st video itself. Keep up the good work❤❤

this channel will be the best football channel one day

I still don't know how Shevchenko won 2004 ballon d'or. Milan was knock out in UCL top 8; UEFA Euro was handled and he sat in home watching it. The only thing he won was the league but the Seria A best player was Kaka, his teammate.

Through out from 2008 to 2012, xavi and iniesta were holding it down for Barcelona and Spain. Championship after championship. And neither one gets it? That was crazy...

it's a popularity award

Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho are by far my favorite living football legends, they are the reason I fell in love with football in the first place, they are part of my childhood... Henry should have won at least one or two ballon d'or in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, he was so unique and underrated back then, he was almost unstoppable and genuinely a very good all-rounder authentic player. ☯️✌️

overall the whole Balllon d'or organisation is just unfair. It would be a bit better if they choose best in each role and just try to not give it to strikers almost every time

The arsenal invincible were in 03/04

They gave Messi 3 Ballondor unfairly where manny would say he should not win those years. Aginst VVD, Lewandowski and Halland. You could even make a argument for Neymar

Kroos should have won a Ballon d‘or

Messi stoled 2. “ thats fine”

Nah this was just. Nedved was playing at a higher level

Buffon would have won the Ballon d’or if only he left Juventus after it got relegated for match fixing

Erling haaland

facts

bro 2023 Haaland?

smiechel needed tro win

Underrated

Erling haaland should’ve won it2023

I stopped taking the Ballon D'or seriously since 2016 tbh

Messi dessert the Ballon d'Or

The biggest disgrace is Real Madrid players celebrating in Marco Reus' face. I hope Real Madrid lose out in the league stage next year. But actually talking, this was another banger video. Keep it up
