I was going to agree with you, given its an award by a French Football publication, but just had a quick look and Ronaldo won it in 2008 when at Man Utd. Since 2016 its been won by either Real or Barca players all but once (the sole exception being last year when Messi won it for PSG). Difficult to argue that anyone was better than Messi or Ronaldo, but quite notable that there has generally been a low showing of Prem players in the top 3. You'll be happy then that number 2 and 3 this year were Mane and De Bruyne. |  |

it's usually won by either a champions league winner or if someone does something special in a world cup. If Liverpool had won the final I think either Salah or Mane might have won it |  | | |

Cannavaro won it one year after they won the world cup (2006), Modric won it a few years ago as welll but it's normally attacking players [Post edited 18 Oct 2022 8:17]

Exactly. I mean, no-one in France cares who wins the Readers' Wives Award. It's just one rule for respected French sporting magazines and another for low-rent, home-brewed art pamphlets!
