Pedri is one of the most exciting young players in world football. He plays for a giant of a club in Barcelona, and already there’s little he can’t do on the pitch.

So surely, one day, he’ll be in the reckoning for the Ballon d’Or award. But is it that easy?

Seb Stafford-Bloor looks at the previous winners to find out. Illustrated by Philippe Fenner.

  1. I mean Xavi and iniesta would of had Atleast 2 or 3 if it wasn’t for messi and Ronaldo the different between those two and haaland and mbappe is that they are the greatest of all time where mbappe and haaland aren’t yk when a player is special and as talented haaland and mbappe are the don’t stand out from most legends mbappe isn’t even better than Henry

  2. always these spanish and english players gets this hype…..then there is german musiala….one who watches both of them play clearly gets how good is musiala over pedri…and still he never got 1/10 hype pedri got……….musiala clearly showed his class against gavi and pedri while playing for germany against spain…..if musiala stayed at chelsea and if he didnt change his nationality back to german from english ….he wud be surely hyped the best youngster in the world

  3. The year Modric won the Balon D’or we also saw how important the team the players is in. Because Modric wasn’t even the best player on that Madrid squad and in the World Cup final he was ghost disappeared the match. Only reason Ronaldo didn’t win it is because he left Madrid. If he would of stayed Modric wouldn’t even have ever got the Balon D’or

  4. "in 2018 messi suffered a disrupting and disappointing year with barcelona"

    was top scorer and assist provider that year
