Screenshot this, save it, frame it for all I care. If Benzema doesn't win the 2022 Ballon d'Or then I will eat a shoe.

Sadio Mane could become the first African player to win the Ballon d'Or since George Weah in 1995. Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is one of the clear favourites to win the Ballon d'Or 2022. Ballon d'Or 2021 was taken home by Lionel Messi who now has a record seven titles on his trophy shelf.

Salah, Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Diaz, Núñez, and Van Dijk were all short-listed for the award.

At the moment, only one Liverpool player has won the award, Michael Owen, following the treble season of 2000/01. This feels terribly unjust, by which I mean, “ tremendous, by the way.” And most recently Virgil van Dijk finished second in 2019. Said striker and objectively terribly human being, currently playing for Manchester United, whose ego couldn’t fit inside a freshly-emptied Old Trafford, was somehow nominated once again this year, presumably out of habit at this point.
