Such an iffy year for BdO. Rodri won the league, won the Euros with Spain but didn't win the CL. Vinicius won the league, won the CL, scored in the CL final, but had a poor Copa America. Criteria is a toss up. Plus those who vote on the BdO are not making rational choices. Jude and Vinicius likely split the Madrid PR votes so Rodri gets it. It's not completely undeserved for Rodri.
Anyways, BdO is completely pointless since they didn't award it to Lewandowski retroactively in for his 2020 season. Highway robbery of the highest order.
