I was thinking about this for awhile, and was wondering if anyone else felt that people are hesitant to award Premier League players with the credit they deserve?
Eg. Am I crazy or was Haaland not winning the Ballon D’or really disrespectful towards the Premier League?
He set the goals record, and won the treble.
You Look over the list of winners and in the premier league era only Michael Owen and Ronaldo have ever won it while playing for a premier league team.
How did Henry not win it in 2003?
I feel like now that he is dominating a much poorer league Harry Kane is finally getting the respect he deserves.
Jude Bellingham is getting bonus credit for doing it for Real Madrid.
I’d say no. You just need to realise it’s about the best story of the year, not the best player. Messi winning a World Cup is a better story than Haaland scoring goals in the premier league. If Kane wins the euros for England he’ll probably win it. Same for Bellingham if England win it and he is more decisive than Kane
We only think about the premier league because we’re English. There’s a lot going on elsewhere too
