Ousmane Dembélé wins the Ballon d'Or for the first time - and somehow everyone is happy with the choice?! This looked very different a year ago with Rodri's triumph. Speaking of which: A few years ago, many users at 'X' would have expected a completely different Frenchman on the football Olympus.
Many were initially glad not to have experienced a (small) surprise again...
... but the happy ending of a cheesy football story.
Well, did anyone hit the jackpot today?
By the way, Mbappé is very happy for Dembélé:
"You deserved it x1000" writes the Real superstar in his 'Instagram' story.
The winner shed tears of joy, his mother seemed to celebrate more internally.
Fabrizio Romano has been suspiciously quiet since this post.
Almost everyone agrees with the winner, but opinions differ on the rankings behind him.
Are you satisfied with this year's Ballon d'Or election? Feel free to write your opinion in the comments!
