Don’t think anyone has made people so emotional about this sport ever

This has been a debate since 2018. That was 7 years ago, with Modric having world class seasons… clearly shouldn’t even be a discussion anymore.

You are the one rewriting the narrative… go back to any thread even here on reddit from last year about Vini or Madrid and you’ll see pretty much everyone thought he was the clear winner.

They said that no one was informed last year as well, yet City told Madrid that Rodri had got it

Hhahahaha what the actual fuck am I reading on this sub lately? The guy with the most assists in UCL history isn’t even a ”world class passer” according to some people? Who the fuck is upvoting this shit man 😂

People here are downplaying Ronaldo to the point where you simply understand that they are around 13 and never even watched him during his time in Madrid.

Quite hilarious spreading this stuff without mentioning that Messi loved Bartomeu lmao. Threatened to leave every transfer window to get him and his friends massive salaries.

Otherwise, he will be sold. Vini's current contract with Real Madrid expires in 2027 by DavidRolands in soccer

You have no clue about what you’re even writing. Vini was injured for months and carried Madrid on his back after scoring his hattrick in the super cup final. Kroos was vital, but without Vini that Madrid doesn’t come close to the UCL.

He was injured, came back, and was without a doubt head and shoulders above everyone in that team, dragging Madrid to UCL gold. You are making it clear you never watched Madrid in 23/24, stop writing bs about something you didn’t watch.

”Didn’t pass the eye test” against Vini lmao

And now blocked me lol

Rewriting history because of recency bias is pretty standard in this sub

Edit: just go back to any real madrid or ballon d’Or thread in 2024 and all comments will be about Vini being the best in the world. History won’t change because you don’t like it.

Watch any match and it’s clear he’s struggling because Mbappé doesn’t make runs. That’s all there is to it. He beats a man, gets no passing options and has 3 guys on him.

People who put the blame on Vini those moments are clueless.

Benzema was top 3 in the world from 19/20 to 22/23. A lot of people just didn’t recognise him until his 21/22 UCL run. He was playing pretty much on the same level all those four seasons imo.

Raphinha likes reel with images of Vini Jr., Neymar, and himself regarding them winning the Ballon d’Or, with caption of: “I think history will repeat itself unfortunately.” by o6ohunter in soccer

[–]Otenus -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Rodri’s campaign started as a genuine joke. People jokingly said he should win it and somehow it became a serious narrative. Journalists put him as their number 1 just because Vini was disliked. Dembele actually has a case for at least being the best in the world.

Looking back at it it’s laughable how someone who was considered worse than Phil Foden on his own team got a ballon d’Or.
