Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas att.acks Ballon d’Or and France Football: Vinicius is not the one who deserves to win it

The criticism of the Ballon d’Or is growing day by day, especially after the recent events involving Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid.

France Football and UEFA have undermined an award that was already controversial, despite the fact that the last edition was a special crowning achievement in the world of football.
Iker Casillas was among those who did not hesitate to express his opinion on the matter, expressing his surprise at Rodri winning the Ballon d’Or.

Speaking to Adri Contreras, the former Real Madrid goalkeeper said: “It’s a ridiculous award and there are no clear criteria. I don’t know who chooses its winners.”
Casillas did not stop there; he indicated that if Vinicius did not win this award, it should go to another Spanish player from the Merengue team.

He added: “In any case, it should be given to Dani Carvajal. I also don’t understand how no Spaniard won the Ballon d’Or from 2008 to 2012.”
Casillas added: “This award does not represent the best player but rather is based on whims and interests. Therefore, I ask all football players in the world not to take this award seriously. It is just a purely marketing award.”
