While living in Barcelona I went to 3 FCB matches. In those 3 matches Messi had 11 goals.
Why Czechoslovakia and Czech Republic, but there is Germany and no West Germany?
Slovakia will remember that
Perhaps west germany never won one
All of West Germany is now a part of Germany. The area that constitutes the Czech Republic is only part of what was Czechoslovakia.
If you told me 2 decades ago one day a player will end with 8 Balon D'ors I'd call that impossible and mock the person saying that. GOAT and it ain't even close.
Hey, 2 of those guys from USSR been Ukrainians, so we have 3
One man army
Lionel Messi now tops the number of Ballon d'Or wins by a country as well
What would be the count if they didn't have that rule in place that only Europeans were allowed to win it?
Figo, Ronaldo and who else for Portugal?
Hard carry.
SINGLE MAN
Tom Brady stat that
Carry job lmao
Messi : Bonjour
Primero Argentina
Segundo Francia
Buenas noches, señores y señoras.
Blud has the dev console open.
ONE MAN ARMY
MESSI IS TIMELESS
THE INFINITY GOAT.
Spain isn't updated, it's 4 wins, Luis Suárez, Alexia 2 and Aitana
Reminder that no player outside of Europe could win before 1995.
Brazil and Argentina would 100% have more wins if that was allowed.
That's not to get into the two Di Stefano won, plus the one from Omar Sivori. Both born and raised in Argentina. Weird they are counted for Spain and Italy when literally today in the ceremony they talked about how Luis Suarez' was Spain's only winner.
Yeah in Spain nobody really considers Di Stefanos wins as ours, only Luis Suárez.
Hope he returns to Europe one more time on loan to lift another trophy. Preferably not with a state owned club.
Implying Barcelon- ohhhh
Sivori and Di Stefano were born and made in Argentina too, is stupid to not also add them considering we are talking about best countries producing talent.
Damn. Messi is now the undisputed GOAT. He's got more Ballon d'ors than every other country in the world. Single-handedly put Argentina top of the list from not being on the list. Kinda feels empty now knowing that he's gonna retire soon. Truly the end of an era.
talk about carrying your country on your back
sheesh
Argentina has 11 no? Di Stéfano has 3
Kinda skews the statistics doesnt it
Who are the 5 players for Italy?
I would think cannavaro and baggio are two
Edit: Omar Sivori( he actually Argentinian), Gianni Riviera( the goat) and Paolo Rossi (the lamb).
Carried
Anula Mufa
Netherlands punching above their weight
And Portugal too
It will take some time until a Portuguese comes around to get a title again
We already had before, Di Stefano was argentinian.
Players: 1
Wins: 8
It's such a cold stat Jesus
Alfredo Di Stéfano and Omar Sívori are also Argentinian, and it's well known that Spain has only won 1 time with Luis Suárez. So why the hell are they making the list this way?
The spanish Wikipedia has the accurate ranking.
I feel like France will very comfortably top this list in a year or two
Didn't even know we had 7 in total. I only knew van Basten, Cruyff and Gulllit won it for us, but not the number of times.
Checked the list and found out that in '88 we got the full top 3 even (1-vBasten, 2-Gullit, 3-Rijkaard), all of whom where playing for Milan at the time. Kinda nuts.
Alfredo di Stefano was born in Argentina as well
Funny how many people don’t understand that the nationalities listed are the national team represented by the players at the time they won the award.
It’s like complaining that Riyad Mahrez should be counted as French rather than Algerian or Achraf Hakimi should be counted as Spanish instead of Moroccan.
I would Argue Argentina has 11 as Di Stefano is much more Argentine than Spanish. Also Sivori.
