Should we give it credit? The answer is in three letters: no. “I am told that a few accounts are posting on Twitter alleged impressions of the 2021 Ballon d’Or ranking. Note to all concerned: these are all fake, for the simple reason that we, France Football, never have any , never, printed before ‘revelation’, even for internal use “, assures Philippe Auclair, correspondent in England for France Foot and contributor Eurosport, on the social network à l’oiseau bleu.

“There is no consistency”
Comments corroborated by the editor-in-chief of the magazine which organizes the election of the Ballon d’Or, Pascal Ferré. “There is no summary table that has been printed since the end of the votes. All that will be circulating in the coming days and weeks is fake, it’s that simple”, he confirms. “We are not going to be pretentious by saying that we will never be hacked, but there are two, three basic rules that we observe and, among them, that of never printing a summary table of the Ballon d’Or ranking. “
Tired of seeing history repeating itself inexorably each year, Pascal Ferré points the finger “smart kids who play to gain notoriety, to seek out followers” by playing on the excitement and expectation that surrounds the trophy born in 1956. “All the rankings that came out showed different results, different winners, there is no consistency.”, concludes the journalist. You will understand, to know the identity of Messi’s successor, you will have to wait.
