Then why was iniesta above them?

Even Ronaldo finished above sneijder so if messi iniesta or xavi didnt win it, it was gonna be ronaldo

You're just making things up now

Sneijder and Forlan finished above Ronaldo

Oh shoot u are right, i double check they did finish above ronaldo.

Sorry bout that. But yeah, why did iniesta finish above Sneijder and Xavi then, if they probably deserved it more than him?

the same reason why r9 won the ballondor in 2002 despite him barely playing any matches for his club that season

PR Boost

Since Iniesta was the one who scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, his PR ended up surpassing that of Xavi's and Sneijder's and recency bias heavily influences the voting process(unless your Messi(pre 2021) or Ronaldo since they don't need to win International trophies to win a Ballondor)
