It’s that time again when everyone has their say on who should’ve won the Ballon d’Or rather than who did win it.
Of course, Lionel Messi took a record-breaking seventh title which is likely to never be surpassed, though there appears to be a general consensus that he was the least deserving of the participants.
Robert Lewandowski’s goals and continued excellence gave him a decent enough candidacy for the award, but Stan Collymore believed that there was only one clear winner: Liverpool’s Mo Salah.

Ballon d’or is a comical award that has even failed to offer anything to write home about. It’s like a religious rite which you have to accept without proof. Those who manage the award believe that the football world is blind and stupid. As such, they have the license to to conjure up present to the world what ever they want. They failed and fail to realize that in the heart of hearts of each and every football lover they know who the very best footballer of the year is – and that is Mo Salah. But come to think about it. “Why should we be concerned about a ridiculous award called ‘ballon d’or?’
