  1. Tf is this Bayern slander? Liverpool has more aura than Bayern in the UCL? It's always been Real Madrid and Bayern Munich at the top. AC Milan has been dogshit post the days of Van Basten and co. Argentinian guy needs to go

  2. The way these guys are hyping Harry Kane is disgusting. I’d take Benz, Ibra, Lewa and Suarez all in their primes over Kane tbh. And right now I’d say Raphina should be the overwhelming Ballon D’or favourite!!

  3. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ people it's so very ignorant here. Or every body forget that Ronaldo without winning nothing he takes Ballon d'Or. And 2018 if we speak with order it's was the same with Mapped. Please finish speaking like ignorants and stupids. Everything that come from FIFA it's pure Mafia.

  4. Kane over Rafina It's a jokeπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
    I think your Pundits do not watch Rafina's defensive Contribution πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.
    Rafina's goals are most Crustal goals.

  5. Salah does not deserve the ballon dor now. Raphina hasn't taken a penalty and he's got more goals than Salah. Dembele has scored 21 goals in 2025 alone and I think he's only taken one penalty all season. If PSG go far or even win, Dembele will have a chance. If Madrid win, it's MbappΓ©. If Bayern win it's Kane and if Barcelona win, it's Raphina. It's anyone's ballon dor right now. Liverpool didn't need to win the champions league for Salah to win it. He just needed to have a great knockout round and go far in the champions league. Semi finals would have been enough. But now, I'm hoping players like Raphina, Dembele, Kane and MbappΓ© keep on scoring and assisting to improve their chances to win it. I hope Yamal has a Raphina type of season next season. If he can work on his goalscoring and finishing, he'd win the ballon dor before reaching 20

  6. YES. Dembele are incredible! Kane is insane with bayern, Vini and Kylian too, even Lamin and Rapinha are fire this season. Too many contender this seasin and the new format is very something good.

  7. imagine being 1 third of a front line that has the sensational generational Lamine Yamal and all-time great striker Lewa and yet you are the front runner in Ballon d'or talks. How is that not impressive

  8. i dont think there should be any debate right now for kane, these journalists are not making sense. They all are comparing kane to raphinha, and taking on kane for them. I know he's a great no. 9, but compare hi to someone so crucial for a team like barca, his defensive ability, through the roof, plays from the back to the front. Lethal infront of goal, and the football he's been playing. Naah. No way in hell, kane is winning over ballon d'or. But yes, ballon d'or is just a popularity vote.

  9. Ronaldo in 2013 had 80+ G/A and yet alot of believe Ribery should have won it because Ronaldo went trophyless. Unelss Salah can put up thsoe numbers, he ain't winning it

  10. Cost mo salah? Looks like salah cost liverpool the quarter finals πŸ˜‚ he was a never gona get it because he never steps up in big games or in final weather it's liverpool or Egypt

  11. Balon d Or honestly shouldn’t exist anymore. Look at the Balon d Or winners from the past: R9πŸ‡§πŸ‡·, Ronaldinho, Zidane, Kala, Rivaldo, Figo and obviously prime Ronaldo and Messi who scored 60+ Goals.

    Compared to Balon d Or candidates of today: Rodri, Vini, Yamal, Raphinha, Halaand, Pedro, YamalπŸ˜’

    So we’re giving the Same Trophy we gave to Legends now to a bunch of nobodies.

  12. Salah has been ordinary the last 3 games which just shows that Liverpool is nothing without him; Liverpool is overachieving.
    Lamine deserves it more than Rapinha if Barca wins the CL.
    It would be insane if Lamine gets the nod, though.
