Higuain broke Gunnar Nordahls’s 66 years old record for most Serie A goals in a single season, but didn't got Ballon d'Or.

And he played for a Napoli side that pales in comparison to Bayern.

Titles carries a lot of weight on whoever gets Ballon d'Or. If Kante wins Euro & plays amazing, he's a lock for the award.

I'm not sure there's much in common between the two scenarios. Suarez and CR both comfortably outscored Higuain that year and won bigger trophies and had much better all around game. This year, Lewy won the golden boot by a landslide, is top scorer in all comps, and none of the other stars have been at their best.

To be honest, the Ballon d'Or 2021 should be given to N'golo Kante. He is a great player that deserves it, no doubt.

As for Leo, he doesn't need that individual award anyway. What he needs more than anything is the CopaAmerica with Argentina. It can be more valuable than 3 Ballon D'or combined :)
Let's wish him good luck in his national campaign !

The team bottling the Liga was a massive hit for his chances of winning the thing, if he had won i think he would have chances even if Argentina doesnt win this year because performance wise he is obviously been either the best or ar least top2 in the world in 2021. Now it's all or nothing for Copa.

Lewandowski is a ghost with Poland in major tournaments, don't think is gonna be different this year, and the french guys would prob split votes between them too, Kante is looking like the strongest contender among them but Mbappe PR is too big to let him out of the top3 if France win and he bags a few important goals.

So Messi would need someone surprising to win Euro and then win Argentina the Copa to have a chance.

in what universe is Kante a CDM? Do you even watch football man, or just listen to what the pundits are parroting?

0 UCL goals in his career.

Bore off wanker.

He's clearly a midfielder with the main purpose being to defend. NOT in the pirlo role or a goal scorer don't give a toss if you think a high workrate CDM is box to box mid

he's a B2B midfielder, not a CDM. contributes to the attacking phase whenever possible. if anything, jorginho is the "CDM" of that chelsea team, but even then, he's more of a regista.

won't blame you for not understanding simple concepts though, must be hard for amoebas

You are oversimplifying this a lot. Never a CDM in a million years
