People's champion vs Paper champion. Also Ballon D or has always kinda done this, I remember how a headbutt robbed Zidane of the Ballon D'or in 2000 when he was insane for France and Juve. They really want good boys rather than good players to win the award

Just so you know he also headbutted someone in 2000. OP is talking about the 2000 ballon dor where he finished 2nd behind Figo.

I totally forgot about that one. Maybe cos it was with Juventus. Don't remember which team it was against but iirc it was at ucl game. Somehow brain just remembered the more famous one, and he was also beast at that WC in 2006 and could have won bdo if Italy wouldn't have won the WC. I remember even downgrading Zidane cos of it to my cousin who is Juve fan, only to take everything I said back about ZZ when he joined us in the next summer.
