In my opinion, ballon d'or shouldnt go to "roflmao 758 goals against crapone".
Its the player who influenced the season the most, made the biggest difference.
One could say, Ronaldo did just that against wolfsburg last year, or bayern this year. Altho technically, it was the linesman.
But if Juve wins it all ?
We were about to trow it away in the group stage against Lyon, but then Buffon saved a penalty and made the impossible save of the season on that deflected shot, allowing us to keep level and eventually win the game via a late goal
It was buffon who allowed us to remain on top in serie a despite shitty form with vintage saves.
It was buffon who kept out that certain iniesta goal in turin when it was 1-0, and denied an even more certain goal with an impossible save on suarez at 3-0. Talk is about Dybala. It would have meant shit if a human was in goal and the game ended 3-2
On the most vital parts of this season, it really was Buffon who made the biggest difference. If we get the trebble, he should earn the ballon d'or
