Imo there are two parts of this story.

1) UEFA clearly pulled a bait and switch on RM to try humiliating them.

2) The cult of Messi-sexuals has too much sway in BdO voting. These are your japes of the footy world and being journos and pundits doesn’t make you immune to it. They’re the simultaneously Messi/Barca/Pep/Argentina/Tier 2 City fans of the world who are also anti-RM. These are the people that rallied around Rodri and Lautaro but had nothing to say about Carvajal. They also didn’t care for Rodri when he had a better season last year and Messi was in the running.

They robbed Lewa, robbed Haaland, and now robbed Vini.
 
He led the league and CL winners in goals and assists and scored most of their big knockout goals once again. They don't come close to winning either without him.

Can't exactly say that for Rodri and City/Spain but he won, it is what it is :lol

vini had 15 goals in la liga lol

actually the only history people will remember are the names written on the trophies
why are y'all so entitled lol? it's sad to see a bunch of grown men cry on the internet every time y'all lose something.

reminds me of another modern day cult

That was my point, top scorer in LA Liga was Dovbyk.

He was their best player in a season they racked up hardware. In the CL especially he stepped up each time they needed him, as good as Jude was he wasn't the deciding factor in those moments.

In the past, there were years where Messi scored more but Ronaldo won it and vice versa. The one who won was usually the one who balled out the most in the CL that year despite the stat tally.
 
There’s not a time when Barca loses you don’t come in here saying there’s a conspiracy so y’all don’t win, everybody calls you cry baby. Today we having our day.
no thats not it. i just contest bad calls. that's subjective. ill let you tell it though.
yall really acting like a bunch of o's when there's literally a vote to win the award.

That's what I think hurt him and the fact he had Jude (and Carvajal? :|) snatching votes too :lol

Brazil get to the semi at least or final and I don't think the result is the same. They flamed out :{
 
:lol we got conspiracy theories, and Jorginho comparisons for Rodri, thought I was in a Far Right political Reddit echo chamber for a sec.

Yall don't watch Man City unless they play your club, i get it. It's a controversial win, I get it, but losing common sense to wondering why he won is insane unless you're a casual. It's the post Messi/CR7 era, someone was gonna win but the person who won, wasn't who you wanted.
