I don’t think Haaland coming second is a fair representation of his stature as a striker enjoying the fruits of exceptional service. He’s notably worse when Rodri and KDB aren’t playing. The fact that goal scorers like Haaland get votes highlights what a weird award Ballon d’Or is. The focus should be on the team award with secondary individual awards for best positions (best 9, best 10, best wingers, 6, fullbacks, centrebacks, and gk).
