Pretty poetic considering his idol R9 wasn't in the Milan UCL winning squad because he joined in January and had already played the group stages with Madrid.
On top of that, he's the type to post semi cryptic messages on social media? What's up with people doing that. Either be frank about it or don't say anything at all lmao.
Tbf since Alaba and Rudiger joined on a 'free' transfer a bunch of high wage players from the old guard have left the club like Bale, Ramos, Marcelo and Isco.
Exactly and like the Athletic article pointed out that enough of the add-ons in the Hazard deal have already been activated to surpass the fee paid for Bale.
Worst was probably the Mallorca game it's either hoping Vinicius can get past three defenders by himself or putting in a cross to the box with no proper striker on the pitch.
It's not a calendar year award. It's seasonal they just extended it this year to also cover the World Cup so the voting period was based on August 2022 - December 2023 iirc.
Happens almost every year. Last year Donnarumma and Mendy were the winners year before that Alisson and Neuer. Since 'The Best' award was created in 2017 only Buffon (2017) and Alisson (2019) won 'The Best' award and were in the FIFPRO XI
He would not get a medal since he isn't part of the UCL team and haven't played a single match

Chelsea without Timo Werner. I will be there no matter what.

In the words of Mourinho if these players chose to say what they actually wanted they would be in 'big trouble'
Teenager Vinicius getting his only career injury at the 30' kill us that night.
I think Reguilón could be argued to been a 'silver lining' although he definetly got overhyped because almost everyone else was playing so badly
What is this “Madrid didn’t spend” narrative that I’ve been seeing all year? It’s nonsense.

Ribéry just popped into my mind, what a player he was, his technique/playmaking ability was ridiculous.
Tbf he was part of the off the pitch stuff with Benzema and Govou
Was that to do with the prostitute?
Yes he and Benzema were indicted because she was underage but they were later acquitted of the charges.
In summary (due to paywall)
So that basically means that the 2022 UCL got us into two different CWC competitions lol
What a bastard.
Incredible performance by the FIFA The Best men’s player of the year tonight
And the runner-up
PSG getting knocked out two years in a row in the round of 16. I'll be there no matter what
I had such high hopes after that chip against Granada
at least bale did something of value at madrid first

People are disrespecting Jude too much.. perhaps the most noble child the gods ever put on this good earth (unless he goes to a different side)
According to football twitter his price dropped €60m after yesterday's game
No disrespect whatsoever but if we go through I want Chelsea
Good thing Werner doesn't play for them anymore
Don't mind in that much tbh, much better than some stupid Gambling or Oil money company
If this Clásico is anything like the Drake logo one then I'm all in
Interested to see how he does as a manager, was Zidane's right hand man for so long.
We scored five against Liverpool and the whole attack made a collective decision to end the season there.
Today MARCA released an article about Araujo studying Sergio Ramos' game to improve and he gets sent off today. You can't write this stuff.
This just reinforces what we already know: Griezmann is the better player and by far the better teammate.
Remember when Griezmann tried to put himself into the Messi/CR7 conversation and now he is being compared to a winger nine years younger than him
Black but he's still alive?
It's the colour of the kit he used to play in
We really need to sort this ineptitude vs well organised defences. It’s so frustrating to watch
Worst was probably the Mallorca game it's either hoping Vinicius can get past three defenders by himself or putting in a cross to the box with no proper striker on the pitch.
We had a shot on target, Valverdes shot in the first half at the edge of the box...
You'll never sing that
That was the first leg against PSG for anyone wondering
I was wondering why Modrić didn't vote for Livaković but this explains it.
Haaland 5th in The Best poll/list is just unreal.
Exactly why they should scrap awards based off the calender year, just leads to loads of nonsense recency bias voting.
The Best is seasonal just extended it this time due to the winter World Cup. Ballon D'or is also now based on season rather than calendar year.
It's not a calendar year award. It's seasonal they just extended it this year to also cover the World Cup so the voting period was based on August 2022 - December 2023 iirc.
Pretty stupid to do it that way if it gives a different result... Like do it one way or the other, but it should be the same one...

For those confused as to why Martínez won the 'The Best' award but Courtois was over him in the 'FIFPRO XI':
Messi looked so happy
