How on earth is he one of the most hated athletes on this planet?
People interpreting this as “Arsenal should have won”. Man the award shouldnt exist in the first place
Hard to say that a guy with 73 goals didnt deserve to win the Ballon Dor. Even better knowing that even a BD level player couldnt give Topspur a league title

Genuinely will never understand the hate Bukayo Saka gets man. From all I’ve seen he seems like a great person off the pitch while also being one of the best wingers in the world

Look, not that any of this should really matter, but my personal take is the World Cup should absolutely be a big factor in these individual awards, but it cannot be the only factor.
Simon had a great World Cup and won the golden glove for it. But was he better than Raya over the entire season?
Not even close.
Simon winning this just proofs that these journalists don’t even follow football extensively. They vote based on vibes and circumstances. Zero credibility.

Equally ranked at the 29th place of the 2026 Ballon d’Or
