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.

[Wrenynni]

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

[Lenovo53]

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

i still cant get over the 2010 sneijder thing honestly, i was at a pub watching the ceremony with mates and we all just stared at the screen when he wasnt even in the top 3 after that season

[thoxayzyl]

sneijder gettting frozen out in 2010 was just baffling, he literally ticked every box that year and still didn't even make the podium. its weird how quiet people stay about that one compared to the others.

[Naloralrel]

lewa losing the whole award in 2020 feels worse to me because he didnt even get a chance to lose a vote, it was just taken off the table entirely. sneijder got robbed too but at least they prretended to consider him.

[goldenace7]

The cancelled 2020 Ballon d'Or is one of football's biggest "what ifs." He scored 55 goals, won the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and Champions League with Bayern, and was the clear favorite before the award was canceled due to the pandemic.

[Samuellax]

It's ever Neymar Jr, bro would have won up to 10 Ballon Dor if those GOATS didn't exist

[Emberixmia145]

Sneijder getting completly blaned in 2010 felt way worse than Lewa losing 2020 since at least the cancellation was just a freak covid decision, while Sneijder actually won the treble and still somehow finished fourth behind three players who had weaker seasons overall that year was just pure robbery

True 

[deckhunter]

ngl Lewa 2021 was a straight-up joke, but Iniesta not taking it after the WC performance in 2010 is wild too ?
