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.

If we are talking of absolute peak, changes that I would do is
- Dani Alves over Lahm
- Suarez over Lewy

Perfect.

Ashley Cole vs Marcelo is debatable based on what you want from your LB.

Nesta is a better defender than Ramos and it isn't close.

Prime abidal is a wall of coolness, Marcelo ain't got nothing on him.

Pique and puyol prime, walks the other two.

Alves pep once said he's the most intelligent player in history, Enough said.

Valdez big D energy clutches up in every big game.

Yaya will bitch slap modric.

Eto'o will score at least two because thats what he does.

Henry was a bit old, but still classy.
