Best player to never win Ballon d’Or

   Iniesta, Ribery, Lewandowski? Who got robbed hardest?

[voxenne0]

Lewandowski in 2021 still hurts tbh, they literally canceled the award the year he bagged 41 league goals.

Lewa 2021 was the biggest robbery no question, but Iniesta's 2010 gets overlooked too often.

Lewa 2021 is the one that still makes zero sense to me, man was unstoppable that year. Iniesta is a close second though, midfielders always get shafted in these awards.

[wineique]

Lewa in 2021 is the hill I’ll die on, but Iniesta not winning in 2010 after that World Cup final goal is criminal too.

[pyxyn]

Lewa 2021 is the obvious one but honestly the fact Sneijder didn't even make the podium in 2010 after that treble + World Cup final is low key insane

[emberarium16]

Lewa 2021 is the obvious robbery but Iniesta in 2010 stings just as much, he was the heart of that Spain team and scored the winner in the final.

People always bring up Lewa 2021 but honestly I think the cancelation just makes it feel worse than it was, Messi still had a crazy year and won Copa America so it wasn't a total sham. For me Ribery 2013 is the real snub, won everything with Bayern and the voting extension felt way more dodgy than a cancelled ceremony ever did.
