The spotlight was on the top ten winners in the 2022 Ballon d’Or race, which was won by French star Karim Benzema, but no one noticed the disappointment of the 6 stars nominated for the Golden Ball and did not get any vote.
A provisional list of 30 players was nominated for the Ballon d’Or for their level in the 2021-2022 season, and sports journalists from around the world, as well as captains and coaches of international teams, voted for the first time that the Golden Ball award was awarded on a season-by-season basis rather than year-on-year as it was From before.
24 players won the votes, but 6 players were disappointed and did not get any votes until the representatives of their countries voted, and they are as follows:
- Joao Cancelo (Manchester City).
- Antonio Rudiger (former Chelsea defender and Real Madrid this season).
- Christopher Nkunko (Leipzig).
- Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich).
- Mike Minnan (Milan goalkeeper).
- Darwin Nunez (Former Benfica and Liverpool striker this season).
