I have no idea who placed 4th 3 years ago, much less who placed 24th. People vote for these awards. There will be some weird things in that list from time to time.
https://www.espn.com/soccer/blog-es...no-1s-premier-league-has-most-representatives ESPN FC 100 rankings for the season: Karim Benzema - Forwards - Rank 3 Vinicius Jr - Wingers - Rank 5 Thibaut Courtous - Goalkeepers - Rank 4 Luka Modric - Center Midfielders - Rank 8 Casemiro - Center Midfielders - Rank 6 Obviously these rankings are super subjective, but putting Benzema behind Håland and Modric behind Bariela is a joke.
Let's be honest, the officiating in that copa final was ridiculous, if an Argentine player had pulled out a gun and shot someone, the ref wouldn't have blown for a foul, if anything, we'd have had a best shooter award last night to commemorate it.
Ousmane Dembélé and his agents have threatened Barcelona. Either the club offers a much better salary in the coming days, or he will leave for free at the end of the season. He will not accept leaving in January as a transfer under any circumstance.— @sport pic.twitter.com/f4BW8V7Wir— Barça Universal (@BarcaUniversal) November 30, 2021
Yes please, the more he saps the payroll budget the better for another 5 years is a gift. Or if he leaves, they get nothing in return.
Such a dilemma for Barca. Sign a completely useless player to a long-term deal or let him be someone else's headache. hmmm... Not even PSG is that eager to throw away money.
Setting any disdain for barca aside, this guy has steel balls, I'd be worried about death threats if I was him. This is a horrible way to treat a club that paid a record fee to sign you so you could waste away best years of your career eating pizza.
So Chelsea have benched Christensen from Nov 6 since his contract renewal talks stalled. Not much different from PSG tactics vs Rabiot, Cavani. Guess they think Christensen will give in with such pressure tactics as they obviously don't have the balls to try that with Rudiger lol. Basically they think Christensen is a softie.

Qatar’s BeIN Sports accused of stoking homophobia after pundit’s outburst Mohamed Aboutrika: homosexuality ‘against human nature’ Kick It Out alarmed by remarks a year before Qatar World Cup Kick It Out has accused beIN Sports of amplifying homophobia and questioned whether members of the LGBTQ+ community should travel to Qatar for the World Cup after a former Egypt footballer said homosexuality was “against human nature” during a punditry appearance for the Qatari broadcaster. Mohamed Aboutrika, one of the station’s best-known pundits, sparked fury after urging Muslim players to boycott the Premier League’s Rainbow Laces campaign, which is designed to support the LGBTQ+ community, and saying that homosexuality is not “compatible” with Islam. The 43-year-old added that Muslim people “have a role to play” in eliminating homosexuality and described it as a “dangerous ideology that is becoming nasty”. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...-of-stoking-homophobia-after-pundits-outburst
Here is what Simon Kjær has to say about Christensen : https://tribuna.com/en/news/chelsea...stensen-has-to-improve-to-become-worlds-best/ ... and no he is not giving in, being offered a small pay-raise, not because he is greedy, but because he is among the lowest paid players at the club right now : https://www.spotrac.com/epl/chelsea-fc/payroll/
Most insecure person in football. Going out sad and bitter while the rest of the elite players are embracing each other in the late stages of their career.
As Germany continue to stumble and fumble their way through a massive coronavirus mismanagement period, it's looking very likely that the Bundesliga will soon be played behind closed doors again at least until the Christmas break.
Thanks, always refreshing getting an insight on players that are totally irrelevant in top level football.

Just playing Devil's Advocate here ... I wonder if this could have been done by whomever manages his social media account and not him. Otherwise, it's pretty damn pathetic.
Your disdain for this guy has been noted over your years here. Odd to me how you seem to say you don't care about these individual awards when the players you don't want to win them are directly associated with winning (or fallout from losing) yet you seem the regular fan when it is one of yours. I get you aren't a fan of him but the way you are slant against a Real Madrid legend is always so odd.... especially when seeing the stark difference when discussing legends of our European rivals.
It obviously wasn't him, he just agreed with the sentiment. Damn him for that right!? Lol, you guys want to hate a person and then of they dare have a response or co-sign someone else defense of them you throw a fit. .....all the while loving players who have podcast or armies of support which are no different and at times even worse
