Best player to never win Ballon d’Or

[wickelyn]

Sneijder gettinng left out of the top three entirely in 2010 was quietly absurd.

[merixen]

iniesta is the one for me tbh, his whole career was basically a masterclass in control but that never gets the shiny trophy votes. still hurts that he had to wacth messi lift it while basically being his dance partner for so many years

[graceofgoddat]

Wesley sneidjer 

Jay Jay okocha

Zlatan Ibrahimovic 

[Adakolee]

Dembele and modric I would say 

[tyckaenne]

Sneijder in 2010 always bugs me more because I actually watched that whole Inter CL run and he was untoucchable in the semis against Barca, like he just dictated everything with zero panic. Still can't believe he didn't even podium.

if you're watching old highlights check out how Iniesta controlled the tempo in the 2012 euros final, stats never caught what he did off the ball for spain

For me, it's Andrés Iniesta. He had an incredible career and was instrumental in both club and international success

[eddiemacibe]

I'd say Thierry Henry. His impact on the Premier League and world football was outstanding, and many felt he deserved one

[eddiekimak]

Paolo Maldini has to be in the conversation. His consistency and longevity as a defender were simply remarkable

[sariroti]

There are several worthy names—Iniesta, Henry, Maldini, and Xavi. It's surprising that none of them ever lifted the Ballon d'Or
