Stats last season in the league. Bellingham 19 goals 6 assists
Foden 19 goals 8 assists.


As far as I know it's a straight vote. Whoever you like, fuck all to do with stats. Which is why I'm shocked.

Seems to me Vinicius has some two faced friends

The tide is taking a turn….

La Liga president Javier Tebas slams Real Madrid for 'lacking elegance' after the Spanish club's Ballon d'Or boycott over Vinicius Junior's award snub

The president of La Liga has accused Real Madrid of showing a 'lack of elegance' following the club's dramatic boycott of Monday night's Ballon d'Or awards.

European champions Madrid had initially planned to send a delegation of 50 people to Paris, where they were expecting to see Vinicius Junior be crowned as the best male player in world football.

Tebas reacted on Tuesday by telling French newspaper L'Equipe: 'I'm a Madrid fan. The important values ​​of this club are to be a gentleman and to shake hands when you lose.

'I think Real Madrid lost that mentality a long time ago. They should have gone to the ceremony and not questioned the France Football system, which is transparent, with 100 journalists voting.

'Real Madrid's victimhood doesn't have to be and it is exaggerated. I don't know where they're going. We also experience this lack of elegance in Spain.'

The leaked info that caused Madrid to boycott Monday's ceremony proved correct. Rodri was indeed announced as the winner of the 2024 men's Ballon d'Or award.

Seems there are a number of clubs who have class.

Not seen any English clubs congratulating him mind. But then again, our media barely acknowledged it

He’s defended a Spanish player winning the ballon D’or so no surprise there .
If it was haaland his attitude wouldn’t have been the one above .

Rodri will be presented with the Ballon d'Or trophy at the spuds game on Saturday.

Just a shame he can't play!
