He's a f**king loser, all he had to do was score a few goals in the knockouts and it would've been the easiest ballon dor inawhile
It doesn’t sit right with me that a player who came into the modern game at just 16 years old and quickly became one of the most talked-about names in world football went on to score a pivotal goal at the Euros, becoming the youngest scorer in the tournament’s history, before delivering a historic campaign and winning a title for his nation.
He then went on to outperform and beat arguably three of the best players of this generation Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, and Kylian Mbappe in El Clasico , as well as in international competition. He delivered iconic performance after iconic performance and won La Liga Player of the Year last season.
Finally, he went to the United States and won the World Cup for his nation, cementing himself in his country’s history all within the span of just two years.
And yet, he still doesn’t win the Ballon d’Or?
What Lamine did was nothing short of historic. His performances, and impact on the game deserved to be rightfully remembered and recognized. He should’ve won a ballon D’or .
