How the Ballon d'Or History Changed: Unfair Awards
An analysis of the Ballon d'Or awards over recent decades: who deserved the prize instead of the winners? Why did opinions on the best players not always match the outcomes?
An influential platform has presented an intriguing perspective on the distribution of the Ballon d'Or award, asserting that the prestigious prize sometimes ended up in the hands of those who were less deserving. The debate over the fairness of the Ballon d'Or touched upon Andriy Shevchenko, who, according to critics, should have conceded the award to Thierry Henry in 2004.
The most controversial are Lionel Messi's achievements. If the analysts' opinion is taken into account, this outstanding player would have received only half of his eight awards. The presented ranking of the "lost" Ballon d'Or awards is as follows:
- 2021: Messi (Lewandowski)
- 2020: COVID (Lewandowski)
- 2003: Nedved (Henry)
- 2004: Shevchenko (Henry)
- 2010: Messi (Sneijder)
- 2023: Messi (Haaland)
- 2013: Ronaldo (Ribery)
- 2019: Messi (Van Dijk)
- 2018: Modric (Ronaldo/Salah/Griezmann)
- 2001: Owen (Kahn/Raúl)
- 1960: Suarez (Puskas)
- 2006: Cannavaro (Buffon)
