was boring to me. Not Italian nor Juventino, easily can be the worst Ballon d'Or of all time.
Seeing nominated three players from Serie A teams is a bright spot, still not a dead league completely.
Well which Italian would you include there? Maybe Barella.
As for the winner and previous winners - There is no doubt Vinicious deserved it and probably Uefa had a hand in it but The whole award became ridiculous when they give it to popularity rather than actual performance and achievements. It had been in the past as well such as Messi (IIRC) instead of Lewandowski.
P.S I `d argue Bellingham might have deserved it over Rodri as well.

They have a point there.
Its Vinicious, Bellingham, Rodri, Carvajal for me but anyway the award lost of its prestige once they went for popularity than actual game. There was a year Lewandowski was robbed blind (I think it was awarded to Messi).
Hope we can send a nominee for the next edition (not because I care but it would mean he probably played very well)
