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.
To your point about Messi winning it over Haaland. I can see the case for Haaland and if he won it then fair play. However…he was missing in the two finals for the treble. Messi won the World Cup, won the most motms for the cup, most goals, most assists. Most momts in europes top 5 that Callander year. The World Cup is the greatest tournament and he was the greatest player in the tournament. That’s why it’s fair to give it to Messi.
That being said, lewa was most definitely robbed 2 years ago 😢
