I normally see the likes of Ronaldo, 2013 or Andriy Shevchenko, 2004 are rated as the most underdeserving Ballon dor winners.

    Pavel Nedved. Not really undeserved because he was very good, but they’re were players better than him who had achieved more e.g. Thierry Henry.

      Nedved reached final of ucl and won the scudetto and suppercoppa. Henry only won the league title. Also have you watched nedved ucl performances? While Henry got knocked out ro16. Nedved knocked out real madrid and barcelona. Scoring in both matches. Nedved performance against zidane alone was iconic and ballondor worthy.

        I haven’t seen Nedved. I shouldn’t have said his Ballon D’Or in retrospect but it’s between that and when Sneijder didn’t win it.

      Henry didn’t achieve more than Nedved in 2003, Nedved took his team to a CL final and a league title triumph over a fantastic Milan side, whilst being their best player.

      How exactly did Henry achieve more? He didn’t win the league that year, nor the CL, whilst getting getting knocked out in the group stages.

      Goals are irrelevant in this conversation considering Nedved was an all action midfielder and Henry was a striker.
