Ballon d'Or, the pinnacle of honor in the soccer world, however, in the past 13 editions of the selection, 12 of them were actually monopolized by Messi and C Luo two giants. However, Messi's name is hard to find in the 30-player shortlist for this year's Ballon d'Or, while Crow only ended up in 20th place. This can not help but remind people of 2005, that year, C Luo also ranked 20th, Messi also no Golden Ball Award.
Since 2008, when Cairo won the Ballon d'Or for the first time, the two footballing greats have shared the title for 12 years. During this period, only Modi Cali in 2018, Bin Schma in 2022 as a "post-80s" veteran to break the monopoly, amazing. It is worth noting that since its inception, the Ballon d'Or has never been won by a "post-90s" player. Even if Nyima, Chiyun Dibuni and other "90s" players are very strong, the closest "90s" players to the Ballon d'Or are Wah Kilwun Dijk (born in 91) in 2019 and Shadi Owni (born in 92) in the current year, but they only won the second place. They both finished second.
