Cannavro for sure... just kuz italy won the world cup doesnt mean someone from italy HAD to win the ballon d'or... Zidane fully deserved it in 2006.
and not to mention if that were the rule... Xavi should have won it in 2010.

If John Terry didn't slip then Ronaldo wouldn't have won it.

Re: Most undeserving player to win the Ballon d'Or in recent history
Cannavaro was deserving of it, though admittedly I think Buffon was even moreso. Not Zizou though.
Figo and Owen were undeserving. And Messi in 2010 was deserving, but Sneijder moreso, or even Robben.
And it was way backin the 90s, but while Stoichkov was deserving, Baggio was moreso.

He was coming on strong in Serie A when he came back from injury and then dominated the biggest tournament in the World...

He said Ronaldo dominated the biggest tournament in the world, he didn't dominate the Champion's League if he didn't win it imo.ragbirjosh wrote:Lionel Messi wrote:but he doesn't have a Champion's League medal?Swagg_Johnson wrote:dominated the biggest tournament in the World...![]()

You seriously think the Champions League is bigger than the World Cup?
