Raymar Football love ur videos been here since 1.7 k

I'm a barca fan but I think Salah should've of won it instead of modric

Did you forget Ronaldo’s start to mid season, when even the bernabeu booed him for not being able to score...like you said its an award for the whole season not the last 3-4 months

I don't get how you're judging Modric's season on goals and assists when he is a MIDFIELDER. He was phenomenal in the latter rounds of the UCL. Yes he didn't get the goals but he, alongside kroos, help see out results because of their passing and ability on the ball. To say his season was not "Ballon D'Or worthy" is ridiculous. He consistently put up solid performances in UCL and La Liga and excelled at HIS role, which doesnt involve scoring 40+ goals.

Raymar Football totally agree with you They always make the worldcup WAY too important in the assessments (And the European cups too)

It’s only Messi and Ronaldo fan boys who hate him 😂. Doesn’t count, they hate everyone. If you have ever played a game in any level and played in midfield, you would know how amazing of a player he is.

@@bodircacezar6071 Honestly Messi should have got it. He is as much of a playmaker as Modric but also scores tons of goals. Although Ronaldo was great aswell

Miguel Pereira I agree that Messi is a great playmaker but Ronaldo this year was a totally different animal. I think the haters have finally pushed the guy over the edge talking about his age and his due retirement and about how he is degenerating as a player. He came back stronger, faster, and overall, a better player. The momentum that he built can’t go unrecognized, but sadly, it did. It’s a shame. I’m a Messi fan through and through but even I have to say that Ronaldo should’ve took it.

Bruh you did not just say that. Mesut Ozil had better numbers in Arsenal than Modric in Real

@@YavHeHe1337 it's not about numbers it's about holding that pivot to protect defenders, and he does it with an attacking mindset. Prior to Modric, we had always struggled to fill that post with a world class player. We went through many different players like diarra, gago, granero. Alonso was better but

Cristiano, his first year outside the club, hasn't settled in three years

You disingenuous bastard. He won those three while Cristiano Ronaldo was striker alongside him. He was basically gifted those wins.

He created same no. Of big chances as ronaldo. As was rated 14th best player and ronaldo was 10th rated on sofascore and fotmob

I would argue that Mo Salah was the closest individually.. and it wasn't fair that he got 6th because he was injured and was sidelined during the tournament. Salah broke records and had carried Liverpool to the champions league final before getting injured

So true

Modric was individually brilliant though. He took a team that no one thought in a million years would make it to the world cup final and did exactly that. That alone deserves it. It's not like Croatia is so much better than Portugal that they couldn't do the same especially as European champions.

they never win though for real at least not in last decade

It's much much MUCH harder to prove yourself as a clinical defender than it is to be a clinical forward. Goalkeepers have been close to winning the Ballon D'or so they are at least considered in the voting. But to measure a defender's worth to a team over a whole year by saying "Oh yeah, he stopped a lot of chances" is way too ambiguous. Many required skills of pro defenders can be done basically across the board by most of those pro defenders. Any run-of-the-mill defender can stop a cross or cover a forward making a run; but few forwards in the game today could ever dream of accomplishing the offensive genius by the likes of Messi and Ronaldo.

Tbh they shud have one for each of the 3 main positions atk ,def,mid

If i'm not mistaken Lev Yashin won the 1963 Ballon D'or

It's only done on individual performance, for an attacker it's goals and assists, for midfielders it's assists in first place and maybe scoring and defending, for defenders it's their defensive performance and winning duals, the same for goalkeepers it's their saves that make us judge their performance.

@@izzzy03 ahahhah lol modric did a great year with Croatia and real Madrid, but he wasn't the best player in neither of them, in real Madrid Ronaldo took real Madrid in his back and won the ucl, to rove this in 2019 real Madrid did nothing on the ucl cause Ronaldo wasn't there, in the wc they did well but France was a beast and mbappe was by far the best player, and Croatia mostly get to the finals because of penalty shutouts, sometimes idk what happens with fifa like if they choose a player because of his talent and his individual, or how many my titles or tphies they won in the year, like modric only won titles and trophies but nothing more, individually he was just a good midlle who could pass the ball, but fifa always make a mess like with Iniesta, sneijder, ribery, this three players won everything they could won in a year and they didn't won the Ballondor at same because the player who won was mostly Messi a genius who was by far the better individually in those years, and another time with Thierry Henry that didn't won nothing in a year but scored the most goals and was a beast playing by far the best player on that year and then he loses to a guy who won the ucl and the world cup even doing almost nothing, ballon dor is rigged is a mess right now they should change a bit the way they choose the winners, if it is mostly for awards or individually, in case of Messi he mostly won because of individuallly, and Ronaldo won by titles

@@simaofreitas6347 dude, he is engine of both teams... Real can at least play well without Modric, but Croatia cant... hope Vlasic or Pasalic can fill the void, but for now without Luka is totally different team... on WC he pulled all strings for NT.. and part where he runs as insane in 115th minute in one of those ET games show his determination...not to mention that he fed CR7 with most balls in Real...in fact in most of the time Ronaldo and others got ball on silver plate from Modric but they failed to score...you sound like someone who didnt see any of RM or Croatia NT matches

@@izzzy03 I understand what youre trying to say but if modric really was the engine for that team he should've proved it in the next seasons real Madrid would have, modric is a great player and did a great year but he didn't actually deserve it more then Ronaldo he did played well but Ronaldo just smashed it in the ucl, and as I said they mostly got into the finals because of penalty, and yes I do watched the world cup, ucl and in fact mos of that LA liga year so I do understand how modric was playing that season but Ronaldo was by far the best

Ronaldo got robbed that year

Agreed. They recently started giving goalkeeper of the year awards. Hopefully, they notice other positions as well.

A goalie has actually won the ballon dor once, Lev Yashin

Me too. And i am not even a Messi fan

they pissed everyone of! even modric!

Me too and I'm a big Ronaldo fan

Griezmann is way to overrated. Messi was clearly better this year.

Offical- Bandz He deserved lower

Messi was useless in the world cup

Vikraanth Sinha Even after that useless WC (btw he got 3 assists against WC winners France lol but lost in this Argentina side that literally can not defend) he still topped everyone else in everything that you expect from a secondary striker.

@@viksinha5410 But he is useful in barcelona

Messi was better than any other top 5 player there based on stats he was clearly robbed

LewisR999 Obviously he was robbed based on stats all starting from 2009 until now! There were players who played at a high level and who gave Messi a small run for his money. But Messi still exceeds all!

They were eliminated in R16 same as 2014 runners up Argentina

That's what I was thinking too ! F#$*" Off fifa

funny how this is how messi and ronaldo can come together. but yea modric def shouldnt have won

Rohan Smith glad we can put our differences aside and agree man. 5th place is disrespect to someone who put an awesome performance

@Trekkerz Kid that would be great

true, but Ronaldo was literally soo insane that year that Modric was in no way close to being the best player. Wasn’t even better than Messi this year and messi was 5th. Cmon bro

@@RaymarFootball still he deserved it

@@RaymarFootball you compared modric with a bunch of forwards with goals and assists? really?

@@crobeastness Let’s just say, many midfielders have done what Modric has done and more and havent won it. 2018 Ronaldo? Only Pele, Maradonna, and R9 and Messi had better seasons for scoring and achievements. 2018 was even better for Cr7 than 3 of his other ballon dor years easily.

@@RaymarFootballtbh as a Croatian myself, I think Ronaldo should have won it and I think giving it to Modrić was actually an insult to the Croatian national team. Essentially the voters were saying he carried the whole team on his back when I think everyone knows we had a good overall team from 2013-2020. I just didn't like the way you justified it.

He didn't deserve it over his superior Ronaldo or even Messi. It's a joke and blatant robbery, fuck Mordric and his tainted ballon d' or

no way

Then the logical winner would have been Salah, the fact of the matter is, the Balon D'or isn't solely about individual performances. They always pick the Champions League winner's so it seems. They used Croatia's WC run as a way to not give the award to CR7 but still give it to a CL winner. Fraud.

​@@krypjutsu129 No they wouldnt because that year there was world cup... and they took someone who did good in world cup if it was about champions league winner they would have picked Ronaldo...

Well the best always win and that has been happeing for a decade its the right thing to do because they both still are the best

@@giwrgosnomikos6690 Ronaldo had a good world cup than Portugal had it is because of him in Croatia modric has lots of good players in Portugal one man army

They got tired of giving it to pessi and cr7 but they go break their logic by giving it to pessi again. I'm sure they couldn't find a midfielder with 4 goals to give it to. EUFA/SEPP BLATTER, gave it to modric, so cr7 wouldn't go ahead of pessi. your pessi is good for 2 ballon d'or tops. A coward that is scared to prove that he can't play for another team. No bartomeu in argentina

@@jorsam8846 Spilled

@@sasmitvaidya3594 yes with a copa of 3 knockout rounds.

Dude nobody is saying that he is a bad footballer but Ronaldo 100% deserved the 2018 ballon d'or. And how are you saying Ronaldo at 36 didn't play well, you need to get of drugs quickly asshole

U don’t know shit about football if you think Modric deserved it that year. Without Ronaldo, Madrid wouldn’t have won the 3rd UCL in a row. Stats back up Ronaldo, Club success def back up both of them because of Ronaldo, and the world cup was massively overrated. 7 out of 50 matches looking like a ballon d’or contender? Please

He didnt💀

This video also pretty much only mentions goals as a measurement of how good a player performed

Goals are more important than good performances of certain positions. That's why the most expensive players are attacking players. If you don't have a Goalscorer you will find it hard to win is the point.

Neuer in 2014 was probably one on the greatest gk of all time, but Ronaldo scored fk 17 goals in Champions League. This is the best Champions League campaign of a player of all time dude. Nevermind Real destroyed Bayern in CL

@@blackpinkslave9969 A goal saved is as good as a goal scored. Every clean sheet against a good team is as good as a hat-trick against a good team. Every goal saving interception is as good as an assist. But, clean sheets and interceptions are considered only when the team draws or wins 1-0. Else they become background noise. My problem is that, due to the biased view for giving awards, football is now seldom viewed as a team sport and more seen for individual glory...

@@antiyoygame2001 I cannot argue with 2014 campaign. Ronaldo was a great in CL. And so was Neuer in WC. But, how Messi was #2 in results list is something to be seen. I would have given the award to CR but putting Neuer in #3 place is criminal. I don't think Messi won anything for Barca or Argentina.

THE COOL DUDE fact

Yes and I get tired watching modric

THE COOL DUDE Because his fans keep making excuses for him failing miserably at Argentina. His last World Cup performance was fucking horrible. And in my opinion, he’s become slightly overrated. He’s not better than Maradona in terms of being a leader and being able to perform on the international level.

I’m a Real Madrid fan but I think you’re right Messi should at least took 2nd or 3rd place and Ronaldo should have took this prize or Messi it’s absolute robbery and the voting was a shit

Edgar Gordillo well, Messi outperforms Maradona but a great margin in the club level

“single handedly” you didnt watch the WC did you. Ever see Rakitic? He carried just as hard 😂 Ronaldo scored a world cup record. And even if Messi didn’t win anything, is this an award for how much you win? Also, tell me what Iniesta did in 2011. Why didn’t he win?

@@RaymarFootball i agree with you like modric didnt deserve the ballon dor if he did then jorginho should have won it this time. ronaldo won the ucl golden boot ucl top scorer scored a hattrick in the world cup scored 5 goals in the world cup more then anyone in the croatian team. antonio single handedly?? are you forgetting about vida, mandzukic, perisic, rakitic, subasic they all also had a say to get croatia to the final.

@@RaymarFootball Jesus, scored a world cup record? THAT IS IRRELEVANT FOR A BALLON D'OR WHICH IS A CALENDAR YEAR AWARD. Those earlier goals don't count to anything.

@@lepari9986 you realize modric won for “carrying” croatia in the WC right? 😂 If cr7 didnt leave madrid he would have won 100%

@@RaymarFootball yes, of course it was the main point why he won. As has been the case often in World Cup years. So what? What? Of course he wouldn't have won it. Unless Portugal and CR performed better at the World Cup. But as you so cleverly said: "they went out in group stages after playing four matches" 😂🤦‍♂️

He deserves the second ballon dor this year. 36 year old, playing like 20 years old. I like to watch raymar football videos, but this video was pure shit. And im not saying this as a croatian, im saying this as a football fan

That makes no sense at all THAT FUKING BALLON DOR WAS AT 2018 how can you say a player deserves a reward talking abt his 2022 performance not 2018

@@frozen_potato6957 Totaly missing the point, so chill.

@@frozen_potato6957 It shows that he obviously had the same skill and ability to deserve a ballondor back then (he always did these kind of performances, he's just showing it again which is even more impressive considering he's 36.

No. He didn't deserve it in 2018 This year? For sure but no. Not never he should've won it in 2018.

you are talking sense and l like your thinking

There are 11 players on the pitch not just Modrić

totally man

Agree with everything. However I think reals problems are also(if not more) because of zidane leaving, not only Ronaldo.

Kylian Mbppaè played very well in the world cup he deserved to be at 3rd place because he was the 2nd teenager to ever score in a world cup final

Because Sneijder and Iniesta actually got robbed in 2010

That not his fault. Iniesta or xavi problem is not modric fault too btw who winning at that times, hmm not other than messi right. Isn't this messi fault? So think carefully before make nonsense think.

because no chance you could beat Messi-Ronaldo at that years.

They prefer real madrid as always

I agreed

You don’t realize how insane this season was for CR7 if you think Modric was better than him that year. Even Messi was better than him and messi was 5th.

Where is cr7 now compared to modric ? Modric is killing it in the World Cup above Ronaldo and messi

When their stats are so damn close, Ronaldo having more goals and Messi having more assists, then it makes sense to give it to the player who won more silverware or performed better in the biggest stages. And last season, that was Ronaldo.

@@jmartinez2005 And?

@@jmartinez2005 A goal is a goal, that doesn't make a difference on how it was scored. Ronaldo had more impact on his teams and was undeniably the best player of 2018

Yeah that's the real disgrace. Modric deserved his. It's always been heavily World Cup focused on a WC year.

@@lepari9986 I mean I wouldn't complain if they gave it to Ronaldo, coz he deserved it as well. But perhaps aesthetic fatigue also played a factor; the players and coaches and journalists who did the voting were just so tired to see Messi and Ronaldo winning it every year, so when another strong candidate like Modric appeared they were more inclined to vote for him, which is also fine because Modric also deserved it. People talk about modric robbing Ronaldo a lot but no one seems to remember the 2010 one is what annoys me.

Paddy Mc then why not exclude Messi and Ronaldo every year? I think Nuer, Iniesta, Xavi, Konte, Kroos, there has been outstanding performances all over and these guys that I mentioned were not only best in the world , but they were winning champions leagues and world cups and Euros with different teammates. Why has Modric never won before Ronaldo? Why is the most talented roster from top to bottom 9th in la liga a few weeks ago, Without Ronaldo? What Messi and Ronaldo are doing is historic . I know people are tired of them winning but goals win games and if you score a historic amount of goals it doesn’t matter what other great positions do. It’s not fair but it’s reality. Right now if you could have a 16 year old Messi/Ronaldo are you taking them or a 16 year Modric/Iniesta? I’m taking the guys that will get me 50 to 60 goals that have shown the ability to be the best no matter what their team plays like. It took Modric coming to Rondaldo to finally reach these heights yet they are the same age. No it’s not all about goals but when there is a 50 goal difference in a sport that is about points then yea goals are important . If this were Maradona vs Pele we have a real argument because they both took over games and dominated their entire careers with different teammates and unlike Modric Maradona controlled the game he didn’t just hold midfield and rarely make key passes. He has all that scoring talent on his team Modric should have 30 fucking assists a year if he has the great vision to set his mates up .Modric has never been the best player on his team since joint a big big club. This is so ridiculous and is out of spite that we have to legendary players making history. Just like in American football being the best Wide Receiver will never match being the best QB the game is just built that way. Forwards have the most important job and will always be the stars of this game because how it was designed. It’s not fair but if I told you to pick between the next Messi or the next Modric in your youth academy who would you choose? Fans are idiots if you don’t this is political

vegeta prince of all saiyans thats the thing, people look at the numbers to say cr7 is better when he is not. Otherwise mueller would of been better than maradona in the 80s, etoo would of been better than ronaldinho, etc. Salah would destroy entire defenses, start and finish plays, cr7 hasnt done that since 2014 because of his age, its natural, he still a top 9 like kane, or lewa but not the 2nd best anymore
