Don't care but surely Dembele is gonna win tonight, can't think of any other player.
It needs to be an award for the best player in the world regardless of what his teams accomplish (club and country), or essentially the best player/MVP of the club (plus country to a lesser extent) that accomplished the most.
I don't know what the criteria is anymore. It used to be easy when you just had to decide between Messi & Ronaldo lol.
All I know is, Yamal is an incredible young talent that will probably deservedly win multiple Ballon d'Or's in his career, but if he wins this year, how can you say it's anything but a PR award?
He's not even close to the best player in the world. He's not even the best player at his position in the world --- and his club/country didn't accomplish enough for him to warrant getting it either.
It either needs to be Dembele for what PSG accomplished and his role in that, or it needs to be whoever you perceive to be the best player in the world over the last year.
