@OJIJeFREDRICK@ESPNUK People when the ball touch the elbow its a free kick or penalty right? So that means it's doesn't count, why should this be an offside?
And people wonder why these awards aren’t taken seriously. How can a player who lost two European Finals and barely played at the Euros finish ahead of Russo, who won both, and Mariona, who won the UWCL and had a stellar individual season?
@roshannns_@TMtalksball She was also Spain’s best player in the Euros ahead of Bonmati and Putellas. Scored in the final whilst Bonmati ghosted. Russo should’ve won but if not Russo then Caldentey. Bonmati is just another case of PR above achievements and performances
#AFC | You may not be into Women’s Football but Arsenal have just been robbed.
Mariona Caldentey switched to the WSL dog walked everyone to win player of the season. Was dominant in the Champions League final vs Bonmatí.
She is the rightful Ballon D’or winner. Robbed.
@Ytyson_@R23SSO she’s also very good friends with bonmati 😂 you can bang on about criteria as if you’re a voter, but it is what it is anyway, cant change who won. she’s a class player wether she has 2 or 3 ballon d’ors
Aitana Bonmati lost the Euros final, in which she missed a crucial penalty and also lost the UWCL final. Wins the Ballon D’Or.
Another player, who won the Euros final and scored in that game AND won the UWCL, finishes THIRD.
Rigged👍
@okay_rome@R23SSO I can see what you're saying but then if you watched aitana all the season you'd find no reason to say she didn't deserved even lucy bronze mentioned earlier that it between mariona and aitana she Didn't mention Russo ! She understands the criteria,
@Ytyson_@R23SSO bigger name by a mile. more famous and being the first to win it 3 times = more publicity and probably helps barca out with their situation a bit more too. we arent going to agree, it is what it is. i just think her name carried her here.
@okay_rome@R23SSO Performance and stats are two different things by my understanding so ask your self what is Chloe Kelly doing in top five? Over Claudia Pina??
@Ytyson_@R23SSO individual performance/goals/assists etc. you named 2 games bonmati played better (lost both), yet all together putellas had less games but more goals/assists. team success, both the same but lost to mario once and russo twice in finals. fair play/public image, bonmati is the —
@Ytyson_@R23SSO she has trophies too yes, but she fell short on the 2 biggest. Putellas had a quiet euros final and 1st half of the UCl final, but throughout their domestic season has been the better player. Bonmati is incredible, but her name carried her to this one imo
@okay_rome@R23SSO Same Alexia who don't show in big games?? First we need to understand the criteria on how you win the Ballon d'Or , can't possibly tell by winning euro and UEFA , but your performance is that much you must win Ballon d'Or mind you aitana has trophies too ,
@Ytyson_@R23SSO She played well, but she sent them to the finals, to lose her second major trophy final in a row? And its not just the euros. Putellas played less games for barca, but had 7 more goals and 5 more assists. Bonmati just fits the story better, bigger name and first to 3 ballon dor's
I think I’m more annoyed at how women’s football is still such a joke. They’ve just ignored stats and trophies and just given it to the name they knew. Don’t get me wrong, amazing player. But by her standards a shit season
@R23SSO You can't give her the win when 2nd/3rd place are the two that packed her up in the UCL final and the 3rd place packed her up in the UCL AND the euros. And to top it off... she wasn't even the best barca/spanish player there. Atleast rob it for the better player that season.
