The Golden Ball is the most prestigious individual award in football. This is an award that achieves the best results in the business throughout the calendar year. But there were times when the award didn’t end with the most worthy couple.
The Golden Ball is almost synonymous with the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Both of these great players shared a two-person opinion on the award. Among them, they have won 11 of the last 12 Golden Balls.
Until 1995, the Golden Ball was awarded to the best player in Europe. It then expanded to include players from all over the world. Despite the fact that the award was chosen through a voting system, there are still many players who have been stolen from the Golden Ball.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the five players who were lucky enough to win the Ballon d’Or.
# 5 Luka Modric (Croatia / Real Madrid) – 2018
2010: Ribery is suspended, losing in the UCL final
2012: Robben misses a penalty, losing in the UCL final
2013: Ribery assists Robben in the 89th minute to win the UCLLost together, came back together, won together. Frank Ribery is a free agent and Arjen Robben is retired. The end of an era 👏 ❤️ pic.twitter.com/BYGWd1IIBS
