I tot Salah should be on the list na

Our players do get relevant attention when we have a foreign coach. Foreign coaches do help our players and help them clinch afcon player of the year, unlike coaches who will be antagonistic of their achievements by comparing them with the oldies

Because of one match football has become sh*t honestly... No hatred but Lookman was bang average last season only turned up in Leverkusen final

Amotolongbo:
Actually, the Europa final gave Ademola Lookman the recognition. Had Leverkusen won the final (and Boniface ed a goal), Victor Boniface would be nominated instead of Ademola Lookman

I doubt Boniface will make it because he was injured most of the season.

Messi And Ronaldo Names Out From The Ballon D’or Nominee List For The First Time In Nearly 2 Decades

For the first time in nearly two decades, iconic football superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are missing from the Ballon d’Or nominee list.

This is a significant change in football, as the duo has dominated the prestigious award since 2003.

These two titans of the sport have had an ongoing rivalry for the past 17 years, each taking turns to clinch the coveted trophy. However, this year paints a different picture, with both missing from the list of nominees.

Over this period, Messi and Ronaldo have been a constant feature in the Ballon d’Or nominee list, creating their league. This year, however, new names are emerging, signaling a shift in the football landscape.

The fact that for the first time in 17 years, these two legends are not nominated for the Ballon d’Or indicates the transition happening in football. It’s a changing of the guard, making room for the rise of new talents.

LOOKMAN CORRECT PLAYER,BUT I PLAY BETTER

Amotolongbo:
Actually, the Europa final gave Ademola Lookman the recognition. Had Leverkusen won the final (and Boniface ed a goal), Victor Boniface would be nominated instead of Ademola Lookman

No. Boniface wouldn't have been nominated even if he had won the Europa.
Ademola Lookman has 32 goals and assists, Afcon team of the tournament and also a finalist, Europa finalists, Copa Italia finalist, Atlanta player of the season.

They should just give the thing to Dani Carvajal make everybody rest.

una Good morning oo

Haaland , Rodri and Bellingham are the Top3.

opes:


Yes. He also did well in the league, plus good AFCON outing.

Team of the tournament in Afcon and also Atalanta player of the season.

emmabest2000:
Oshimen nko ？

Them no include him because them no say if him no win, he go give all of them the insults of their lives.

Now that Messi and Ronaldo names are not included, it's quite difficult to predict who is going to win.

But wait o, how come a whole Man U no get even one single nominee?

Or is man u no longer a football club??

Victor Osimehim didn't make the list

Go and apologise to Victor Ikpeba and George Finidi

[sup][/sup]

So Messi dint make the list after winning copa ... so now copa has no value again... but when he won it in 2021 , they made it look like same copa that we all know that has no value over decades is as good as the world cup.... they kept on shifting goal post for Messi to win all those balon dor .... all because Ronaldo was firing hot

Did Messi perform well in this year's copa America? If Messi had been nominated, you'll still be convulsing calling him names like FIFA boy.

If h carry 27th position make una thank Baba

Samakus:


Lautaro Martinez In 2023-24: 35 goals, eight assists. Won Copa America, Serie A & Supercoppa Italiana.

Rodri In 2023-24: 12 goals, 15 assists. Won Euro 2024, Premier League, Club World Cup & UEFA Super Cup.

If it's given to any other person, the award is truly useless. These are the two most qualified.
