I was thinking about this for awhile, and was wondering if anyone else felt that people are hesitant to award Premier League players with the credit they deserve?

Eg. Am I crazy or was Haaland not winning the Ballon D’or really disrespectful towards the Premier League?

He set the goals record, and won the treble.

You Look over the list of winners and in the premier league era only Michael Owen and Ronaldo have ever won it while playing for a premier league team.

How did Henry not win it in 2003?

I feel like now that he is dominating a much poorer league Harry Kane is finally getting the respect he deserves.

Jude Bellingham is getting bonus credit for doing it for Real Madrid.

    It’s so blatant it’s hard to even care, they actually stepped it up to a whole new level of nonsense this year with Messi.

      World Cup performance is literally always the driver of Ballon d’Or winner in a WC year. Look at Modric, Cannavaro etc. Nothing new or stepped up.
