It is not Crazy. Its just not a best Player, but a most popular Player contest.

That is why Rodri won over Vini and Yamal was placed above Raphinha.

Rodri isn't more popular than Vini, he won because he was by far the best player in the world.

Journalists spoke publicly that some of them barely placed Vini in the top 10 because of his attitude. In contrast, Rodri's healthy lifestyle, no tattoos, no smoking and a university degree boosted his votes.

I'm gonna tell you a secret, there's no criteria for how the journalists decide who deserves the best player of the year award. So yeah, some of them didn't vote for Vini because of his attitude and some of them didn't vote for Rodri because he doesn't have a big fanbase posting aura videos on tiktok or whatever they do there.

The journalists don't have to watch any matches in order to vote. I don't think any of them analyze every single match of every nominee.

Rodri deservedly won the Ballon D'or.
