The only reason Xavi didn't win is because Iniesta scored the winning goal in the WC final. Any other player scores and Xavi wins the award.

Iniesta "stole" Xavis votes, and Messi took advantage from those two splitting votes betwen them.

Some of the serious contenders are : Yamal, Dembelé, Raphinha, Salah, Mbappé, Hakimi, Vitinha, Nuno Mendez, Pedri and Declan Rice. Being objective who should rightfully claim it ?

All these individual awards have lost all credence when a player like Dembélé is favorite to win it. So you might as well add Rice and curry into the equation.

They lost credence when the rapist turned it into a PR award you campaigned for and won three he didn't deserve thanks to Perez too
