Christ's sake...I am a staunch Madridista, but aren't we getting the bubble bigger and bigger and it's only October! What if he dissapears in the middle of the season? Don't feed the hype...

People are so reactionary. To even ASPIRE to that throne you need like 5 insane seasons in the bag.

[–] TiagoFigueira@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Are people actually comparing this dude to Ronaldo and Messi? Da fuk?

[–] egewquyriq@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In my opinion Julian Alvarez is the best player in the Europe right now then Haaland and Mbappe, then maybe Bellingham. Vinicius this season had injury so he didn't play enough to say that he's in top 10.

Uh huh, there’s a long way for this kid to go if he intends to occupy the mantle of Messi and Ronaldo - both of whom undoubtedly were terrific at this age. Well ffs stop the freaking “throne” concept. The PR is getting overwhelming and I hope it doesn’t get into that kid’s head.

It's simple resonance boys, "Hala Madrid" + "It's coming home".

This right here is how so many Madrid players have won Ballon Dors, yes they have all been incredible players but backed by incredible PR and at the end of the day, the ballon Dor is a PR exercise.

[–] brayshizzle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think its just going to be a far more open playing field in the future. Its unlikely we will ever see such dominance like Messi and Ronaldo again. Its an exciting time for a football fan to watch how these young players develop and how the landscape of the Ballon dOr changes.

Musiala will be the king

[–] Traditional_Wrap_366@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't even imagine the media play if an English player score a hat trick in the WC final

[–] L_CRF@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, so why Vinicius is out of the FIFA award top 12 ? I guess Madrid media did a bad job ?

[–] SuperSilveryo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

who put vinicius in the mbappe haaland convos????

[–] EzzyOne100@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is the yearly Real Madrid's campaign to claim ballon d'or to themselves. Nothing new, will happen again next season with [insert madrid player here]

You all should calm down lol

[–] B_e_l_l_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It's odd how much the Spanish care about the Balon d'Or vs how little the English care.

La Liga seems to have an obsession of signing the best in the world whereas England don't despite clearly having the money to do it.

On one hand I'd like to see the best players in the world come to England but on the other hand, fuck the English clubs that could afford them.

I suppose Barcelona and Real Madrid are the full package and I don't think there's a club in England that can compete with them.

Guti is a legend for us, but I don't understand this "throne" thing. I've seen other people saying things like "Bellingham is gonna dethrone Haaland and Mbappe". The current Ballon d'Or holder is still Benzema, the current FIFA The best award belongs to Messi. Vinicius, Mbappe and Haaland have never been the best players in the world yet and as for Bellingham, he's close, but it's too soon to say.

Even if Haaland wins the Ballon d'Or ahead of Messi, Mbappe will most likely barely finish in the top 5 and that's mainly because of his WC final performance and his overall popularity.

[–] SideshowBoB44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Haaland scores a shit load of goals and wins a treble and that’s not going for it lol

[–] whodiswhodat@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Same guy that said Modric isn't good enough for RM.

[–] Geneo-Frodo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bellingham has started hitting haaland level......a season later.

[–] MMSTINGRAY@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He looks great but some of the coverage is really over the top. I especially hope it isn't as harsh as it is postive now if he has a bad patch.

[–] NeoIsJohnWick@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He is a fucking midfielder. His every goal will be cheered because RM don’t have a proper worldclass CF.

There will come a time when Jude won’t be able to score and lets hope then this same media wont take him down the drain of criticism.

Meanwhile you have guys like Guti hyping him up ridiculously and unnecessarily.

Everyone sane knows how important Jude is.

[–] petey23-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jude Bellingham is English.

That's the comment.

[–] Redmonblu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wowow I like Jude but come on man...

Next Ronny/Messi? You have to be kidding me. This is just wank at this point nobody not even Jude believes he is the next Messiah, chosen to lead England to the WC or some other bullshits.
