tis title is not for defenders... the fowards are the stars of this sport.
Canavaro won it right? He was the last defender as far as i can remember. He won it that year when they robbed Henry of the title.

If Henry didn't shyt the bed in the CL and WC finals in 06. Henry wasnt better than Zidane or Cannavaro at the WC either.

The years he should of won was either 03 and 04.

Man, and speaking of defenders, it's crazy to me how guys like Puyol and Maldini never won a Ballon D'or. :snoop:
They need to spilt this award.

Defence Ballon Dor

You can’t compare forwards to midfielders to defender to keepers.

What does a keeper need to do win this award? What does a left back need to do to win this award? Has a defensive midfielder won this award yet?

Nor should they.

Very good players, but neither controlled or dominated games.

For as good as Biscuits is/was, reality is, he was like the 7/8 most important player on them Barca teams.

MO, Xavi, Iniesta, Etoo, Dani, Valdes, Puyol.

Valdes has always been trash to me breh, but I was watching him when I was a child and didn't know much about ball so idk :francis:
I recently saw some clean sheet record of his that had me :ohhh: because I've always known him to be trash

Valdes footballing skills were vital to how Barca wanted to play from the back, also the fact that he was a sweeper/keeper when teams countered, allowed Barca to play with the high line. You think Barca would of been able to do that with Joe Hart or Roy Carroll in goal? There is a reason why Pep bushed Joe Hart for Claudio Bravo and it wasnt because of shot stopping abilities either, which Hart is far more superior at.
