The votes that were supposed to go to Lamine Yamal were split three ways. At least 3-4 of these countries would have voted for him if Messi hadn't been nominated.
Looking at their Ballon d'Or voting history, these countries have mostly favoured players with a Messi-type profile; players who don't just score goals but also excite and entertain fans. The crazy part is that two of these countries actually voted for Lamine Yamal in 2025.
Lamine Yamal lost because of the numbers game and the back stabbing by his own country, not because he didn't deserve to win.

Flick wasn't defeated tactically, this is why Luis Enrique won.
Do you think La Masia will ever produce a RB of Hakimi's kind?
He's that kid from school who's brilliant at everything but somehow forgets it all when exam day arrives.
If this deal is to happen, how much would you ask from man united?

The Premier League giants have been gathering information about the Spanish international as they explore potential transfer opportunities.

Flick played 4D chess with Deco and the board.
He knew that we couldn't win La Sexta with this defence, so he picked the teams whose defeats would hurt the fanbase the most to force the board into going all out for CB signings in the january window.
Little did we know that he intentionally lost both PSG and Real Madrid.
Imagine if he had won both of these games. The fans would have been happy, and the board would have convinced itself that the squad is fully stacked, making no effort to sign anyone.
And then Flick would have had to play the UCL knockouts with Gerard Martín at CB and Koundé at RB.
Flick is a fucking Genius man.
I know who is that " experienced CB"
🚨 JUST IN: This January, Barcelona wants to sign an experienced CB who can guarantee immediate performances. Bastoni, Gvardiol, Lisandro, Natan are all among the names liked within the club. @RogerTorello #Transfers 📁🔵🔴
