Why Nobody Deserves The 2024 Ballon d'Or 

Let’s be honest , we all know harry maguire deserves it this season

I think Messi and Ronaldo put the bar too high for ballon d'or.. like we unintentionally expect the other player to perform like them to win the award

I honestly dont think they’re putting up bad numbers, luis figo and others had similar numbers when they won their ballon d’or so its not too wrong, but the issue is that messi and ronaldo spoiled us. They made scoring 40 goals in a season look bad and 50-60 look normal. Although for the new generation I think haaland last year was good and shouldve won. Like really what else did the guy need to win and do to get the golden ball? He won everything Edit: Lmao so funny that you make one comment a out messi vs ronaldo and theres like 20 people arguing. Antony is the goat ggs also pessi and penldum both missed penalties but antony didnt. 🐐

We should give the Ballon d'or to Lewandowski. He was clinical in 2020, winning everything.

Vini didn't under perform Ronaldinho had similar stats in 2006 Ronaldo and Messi just weren't human And suarez , lewandoski, van dijk , buffon , henry were also crazy and they never won the ballon d'or So that's why maybe people don't want vini to win

man stop bullying Kane cuz that might break his curse and we will then lose our favorite laughing stock

Winning ballon d’or goes beyond most goals or trophies… they should only be a contributing factor, but by no means is it a limiting factor.

Probably Jude Bellingham if he wins Euros (which is probably not gonna happen), Or Vinicius, if he wins the Copa America (which is probably also not gonna happen)

Kyllian Mbappe ❌️ Killing him Bobby ✅️

It's a PR and Agenda Award anyway, so give it to Messi. If you know you know.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="300">5:00</a> “killing him, bobby” 💀

Give the Ballon d’Or to Van Dijk who deserve to win it back in 2019

They ruined the damn sport. Those two were never intended to be this good they were both anomalies. Football is going back to its original form but they ruined it to the point that it won’t feel the same

If leverkusen won Europa league Florian Writz had ballon dor locked up😢

It's time give ballon dor to defenders and midfielders Rudiger - League, UCL, Euro (loading) He's real madrid's most important player. Stopped haaland, scored decisive penalthy against Man city. Assisted match winning Goal against bayern munich. Rudiger is my ballon dor winner ✔️

The Ballon d’or is not about performance, it is about a bunch of journalists voting for a their favorite player that plays in a great club.

I think vini deserves as he’s contributed a lot in the champions league and alligators for Madrid even though his number’s aren’t that great

Give antony the ballon d'or. He was 3 goals away from a hattrick for fucks sake!

Sorry man you are yapping. Kane scored 36 Goals in the Bundesliga… and you make fun of him. You are clueless.

Vini was out for a couple months with injury. If he had played those games, he'd probably have closer to 30 goals. I do like how this season there's no clear favorite for the award, makes things interesting.

When legends like Robert Lewandowski are left with no ballon d'or, no one deserves it.

I like your commentary minutes… funny but with substance. New subscriber here. 👍

great quality content, keep up the good work

the part with bellingham aged well..

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE UR CONTENT!!!, keep pumping more videos, you just got a sub .\

Nice vid u deserve a sub

Great video man!

This video is full of facts, how this channel doesn't have 10k let alone 100k is a crime. U earned urself a sub👍

I don’t know how we always forget that defensive techniques keep evolving and thats why scoring is way harder now

Arda Güler🗣️🗣️🗣️

I agree with you, they should just give it to Lewandowski to make up for when he actually deserved it.

your channel will rise like vini at real madrid

People really under looking Lautaro Martinez, the dude reins supreme in Italian football, and, as of me writing this comment, is the top goal scorer of the copa America.

Maybe Jamal Musiala could win, he’s been exceptional at the euros and is consistent in both club and the international stage.

It would be amazing if rodri won it Imagine a DM winning the ballon dor immediately after the messi v ronaldo era ends

Underrated🔥🔥🔥

I hope you make it big nitro good luck 🍀

Well, Messi and Ronaldo were undoubetdly great, but it could be seen as modern defense and modern tactics slowing down goalscoring. Nowadays, teams play much more with posession and modern defense has become very well structured which limits goals and risk-taking. Honestly, I would put Mbappe for baloondor.

Road to 100k🔥

i was checking out comments and 10 minutes later you gained 1500 views on this video damn Edit: 30 seconds later you gained another 100 views my "this youtuber will grow" sences are tingling

Happy to see Writz getting a shout.

if youre talking about leverkusen, never forget granit xhaka, the dude LITERALLY ran the team and the midfield, which u said wirtz did. Hes also been the star player by far for switzerland, so i think xhaka should def be in the top 10 at least

Rodri should be in the conversation. One of the best teams in the world, Man city, totaly fall apart without him and he's doing great at the Euros. If Spain win it, he should be top 3 imo

You are funny. I subbed

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="138">2:18</a> I clicked on this video thinking "I bet this video will use goal contributions as a major factor to justify the video's title". And I was right. A problem with modern football is that, nowadays, people just look at the stats and think "oh this player is better than this other due to stats". Something few people would have done so, in previous eras. When Baggio was barely winning any trophies, or Ronaldo was receiving the Ballon d'Or with only 9 goal contributions the whole year, no one was questioning how did they get considered World Class players, because it's not just "who wins more" or "who scores more". I feel like we could have a parallelism with basketball. We've got Kobe Bryant and LeBron James' careers overlapping (13 years between LeBron's debut and Kobe's retirement), and then LeBron had to compete with Steph Curry. These players have set basketball standards so high that people do feel like the sport has fallen off. Not to mention, the "poor" stats that Vinicius and Bellingham have pulled off would have made them Golden Boot contenders in pre-2010 football. Vinicius literally scores as much as Shevchenko, a top striker who even won the Ballon d'Or. Bellingham is pulling the strings in midfield for Real Madrid just like Nedved did for Juventus in 2003, a year when he won the Ballon d'Or (which retroactively became a controversial one 20 years later just because "Henry had more goal contributions that year"). Football is literally back at where it was before Ronaldo and Messi made it big, and basketball will probably take some time, but could eventually return to pre-Kobe and LeBron days (although it might be tougher since there was the Michael Jordan era before then, and before *that* there was also the Larry Bird-Magic Johnson era). Let's just try to enjoy this game

I feel that everybody had a great season but nobody had a season where it would be like they deserve the ballondior so I guess we should give it to lewandowski for his 2020 season

its Jude Bellingham for me. he takes 2-way soccer to an unmatched level.

I think Rodri need to win it bro has been play good ❤

Idk about this season but next season will definitely be Mbappe if he does well at madrid

I think the one problem with this conversation is that this is a different era and all that but everything else is true, I hope vini wins the ballon dor been one of my favourite players.

Who you do think deserves the ballon dor the most this year tho?, Anyways Love you vids ❤

this man's opinion on Haaland is actually underrated, but I'm here for it.

Jude Bellingham

Haaland seeing this after having a 50 goal season and still losing in 2023:😭😭

At this moment Haaland deserves as many ballon dor as Zlatan got.. (",)

I think the golden ball is gonna come down to Madrid players of Bellingham and Vinicius with possible outsiders of Florian Wirtz and Kylain Mbappe. This year we do have some other people who don’t play for huge clubs but we’re still phenomenal Such as Ollie Watkins for Aston Villa, Nathan Isak for Newcastle, Dobyvk for Girona, and Gyrokes for Sporting who do deserve to be at least in the top 15

Antony obviously should win it.

In my opinion, football has been more open ever since Messi and Ronaldo left Europe and right now there’s no unanimous best player in the world and it’s part of why the Ballon Dor is so open this year and many players have made a case to win this award. As we speak many of the players in European football are on the same level and reaching the standards of these 2 is so difficult and that’s what we have to accept as I don’t like when making an argument that one of Mbappe Bellingham Vini Haaland or Kane is the best player in the world, people immediately start comparing them to Messi and Ronaldo. By every metric, Kylian Mbappe should be the face of football he’s supposed to be the best player in the world, he hasn’t looked anywhere near his best for France at the EUROs, even during his final months at PSG, he wasn’t firing on all cylinders for them in big games in the champions league, he’s being impacted by having to play with a mask and maybe him finally securing that move to Real Madrid has made him take his foot off the gas and the team as a whole have been shocking in attack and none of their players have scored a goal from open play, he in general isn’t playing like he’s the best player in the world. Jude Bellingham scored that bicycle kick goal against Slovenia and he’s had his moments for England at the EUROs, for the most part, he has done nothing in most of the games apart from the one against Serbia not to mention that when Real Madrid won the Champions League, he was quiet in a lot of the big games in the knockout stages when it mattered the most and he’s a combination of being a good player and someone who lives off of Madrid PR because as he has a lot of ability and he has come up with important goals time and time again, he’s not a “Ballon Dor caliber player”, Vinicius Junior who’s the frontrunner for the Ballon Dor has continued to be underwhelming for Brazil and doesn’t always translate his club form onto the national team. We’ve seen countries like Slovakia Slovenia Romania and even Georgia make it out of their groups during the EUROs and at least get to the RD of 16, meanwhile Erling Haaland someone who’s a world class striker going into his prime is struggling to qualify for major tournaments with Norway even though in terms of talent their team isn’t that bad and he is part of their “Golden Generation”, besides as prolific as he is at scoring goals which is the role of a striker, his overall game is so limited and as a result of that he’s another player who’s not at the caliber of being a Ballon Dor winner, he also goes missing in too many big games, in general number 9s like him can never truly be the best footballer in the world. Harry Kane is an elite striker, but how can a guy who has never won a trophy in his career be seen as the best player in the world, I rate him highly because of his individual ability that alone matters and the amount of goals he really scores for club and country, the problem is that he doesn’t have the trophies to back it up, he’s also not been all that great at the EUROs either. Phil Foden someone who was the best player in the premier league last season is a different player every time he plays for England and he doesn’t make the same impact for his country than he does with his club, Florian Wirtz had a historic season where he was the best player on a Bayer Leverkusen team that won almost every trophy in every competition without losing a game and he was getting Ballon Dor shouts, at the EUROs, he’s been overshadowed by Jamal Musiala as he’s been Germany’s most standout player. Even Toni Kroos he’s had a perfect 10/10 career for Real Madrid he’s playing so well right now and is bossing the midfield for Germany at the EUROs, assuming they win the tournament, he’ll probably win the Ballon Dor and by the time the awards ceremony starts, he would’ve already retired. I guess no one deserves the Ballon Dor this year.

Madrid won the titles not they on themselves. Wirtz and Kane are the only ones that should be in the conversation.

I think theres too many options for the ballon dor. I believe that there is too much bias for attacking players in this, but the sports writers all like goals and creative attacking talent. Theres been many great defenders that deserve it, but never win it. For me though, i believe Vini jr will wim because the media works closely with these sports writers that vote on the player to win

Kinda crazy to me how Lautaro Martinez dosent get mentioned in this conversation. He was top scorer for Serie A and top player , won seria A won suppercopa Italiana and is currently top goal scorer of copa America . If Argentina win it , I think he has a solid shot, it’s just he dosent get the same media attention

W channel

Kane, Bellingham, Wirtz, Vinicius, VVD, Musiala (if he continues his good form in the Euros), Rodri are all decent though.

great video, this decade is interesting all together. many new RU-vidrs, years becoming "faster" and us having to now accept that the ronaldo and messi era is over and player stats will bounce back to normal. I'm sure vinicius junior will win the ballondor.

Here before this guy becomes famous

Lauturo Martinez of inter is another he had an amazing champion's league golden boot of the Copa America MVP of Serie A which has become much stronger in recent years

Bellinghams PR is too good for him to not win the Ballon Dor

No one deserves it so who actually deserves the balon dor Simple answer me. I deserve the balon dor vote for me I scored a hat trick against my friends when we were playing in the park

Give it to that Canadian guy who scored like 40 goals in the Cambodian league, clear best un the world

"haaland might be the best 9 since r9" suarez: Ronaldo when he arrived at Madrid:

Bro didn’t mention Palmer, Watkins or Rodri, there might be quite a bit of ignorance going on here

Mbappe as an individual deserves the Ballon D'or in my opinion.

Not including foden in the ballon dor convo is outrageous

Within the first 50 seconds I agreed with you 1000000%

Honestly if no one deserves the Ballon Dor it’s either Messi or Ronaldo. Maybe Mbappe in this year or 2025

The fact that no one mentions Daniel Carvajal is insane. He won La Liga and the Champions League while scoring in the final, and he's favorite to win the Euro's in which he also has already scored in

nice vid

Very Realistic Ending: Messi wins ballon dor for winning copa america and scoring 20+ goals in burger league

Haaland deserves this year cause he didn't win last year.

Vinicius is 22 years of age. He was out for 3 months. He hasn't hit his prime yet. He's never gonna be messi or ronaldo level but i think this year's number can't be used to describe vinis game.

Lewandowski NEEDS a ballon d’or

Kroos makes sense because he so much and if he wins euro he deserves

kroos, rodri and tschouameni are to be named next to bellingham and vini

Florian Wertz reminds me of Zidane. Hes amazing. Im a casual, i only saw him with Germany. Personally hes the best player ive seen in awhile.

FIFA be like: “Okay then, just give it to Messi”

Toni Kroos pay respect to cm

Rodri has done great this season nearly unbeaten and the best dm in the world

Cold Palmer deserves it fr fr 🥶

Not a long time Football fan and mostly play FIFA and related games so my interest is more like seasonal in and out but one thing I cam to realise leaving the MEssi and Ronaldo Era aside, it's just that both has set the standard so high that the normal numbers of the Vini and Bellingham are comparable to Pre Messi and Ronaldo Era. Both of the GOATs has created such a big void since their leave from mainstream that their normal just look Legend Class status for the other players. So I think Vini or as a matter of fact Belli deserve the award as with same stats Zizou, Nedved or even older 90s player won MESSI AND RONALDO JUST CLASS OF THEIR OWN❤❤🎉

mbappe, rodri and bellingham stood out the most but for voters ucl knockout goals is the most important thing

My opinion is that Wirtz deserves it for his season

Did u see his bicycle kick against Slovakia?

As a Bayern fan my prediction is musiala wins ballon do’r, kane puskas, neuer yashin Award

Should be Bellingham, Vini, or maybe even Kane.

If Messi did fuck all in 2023 and received the balon dor there's no excuse for Kroos not winning it. Doubt it will happen, though, since these awards these days are just whoever has the biggest PR.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="332">5:32</a> masked up and Bobby lol

Hello theres another one i like to list its fede valverde who has been magnificent whole year and has higher chance of winning the copa so he should be also in shout and has played almost every single rma match except 2-3 matches

Mbappe deserves the balon d'or

I want kane to win as he can finally win something for once

If harry kane won trophies he would of won this years ballondor
