Ballon d'Or 2025

[MonteCuler]

Palmer singlehandedly won a FIFA competition's first ever edition.

Chelsea had easy draw and while they were good in final PSG was clearly a level below their best too, be it cause of complacency or fatigue or something different

And singlehandedly? Be serious. Pedro scored a brace in semis. They barely won Palmeiras in QF with some lucky af goal. Benfica was just shit. And in group it was just some random teams, I don't even remember. Do remember Flamengo absolutely cooked them though

So he basically gets in because he scored brace vs PSG in that final? After a season without trophies, no impressive stats and solid overall performances. There is at least 5-6 players who deserve it more

Pretty much.

That's exactly how these 11's work.

I pity the people who still take this shit seriously.

It was always a total joke and a PR driven popularity contest.
