It disgusts and annoys me how Ronaldo and his blindlovers genuinely think he even has a slight chance at the Ballon d’or Individually he was awful. Messi, VVD, Alisson and many others were way better individually Ronaldo couldn’t even make the top 10 for the golden boot, he was 14th. Forget European golden boot! He came 4th in the fcking Serie A behind a 36 year old, a guy nobody heard of before and Piatek. Even Sanabria, Diagne etc and other random players scored more last season Now let’s move onto trophies Bernardo Silva had more Most Man City players had more Many players had more Now don’t talk about the UEFA Nation’s league Bernardo Silva won player of the tournament and was Portugal’s best, if you wanna give the Ballon D’or for the UNL then give it to Bernardo who was better in the 2018/19 season as well. Ronaldo didn’t win the most trophies. 2 of his trophies were tinpot anyway that Juventus are expected to win. You don’t get points for winning the mighty Serie A or whatever. Many players like VVD, Alisson, Bernardo etc. won much bigger trophies. As for individually, like 10 players were better last season. He doesn’t deserve sh*t, for his usual standards he was trash last season. Only 38 goals + assists in the entire season. AWFUL Doesn’t deserve top 5.
