'Football is not just about running': Barca fan names one player who should win Ballon d'Or if Messi fails

"De Bruyne should win the Ballon d'Or this year if Messi fails to win it," Barca fan and Twitter user Founda_ writes.

"No N'Golo Kante for the Ballon d'Or, that's nonsense. Football is not all about running on the pitch," he adds.

Kevin De Bruyne has just put in an unbelievable solo performance against Denmark, scoring and assisting after coming on as a sub.

The Belgian playmaker had missed about a month through an injury before entering the pitch and leading his side to a win.

In 2021, De Bruyne has scored 8 goals and provided 9 assists so far.

Barca 'explored the possibility' of signing De Bruyne but Covid pandemic put end to their hopes: The Times (reliability: 5 stars)

Barcelona had "explored the possibility" of signing Kevin de Bruyne prior to the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020, according to Paul Hirst of The Times.

The Catalans' hopes of signing the Man City midfielder, however, have been wiped out as the club's debt has risen to £1bn over the last 12 months.

The Belgian is unlikely to join the Blaugrana anytime soon as he signed a new four-year contract worth £20m per season on Wednesday.

Neutral explains why Ronaldo's Hungary brace is hugely overrated, mentions Messi

"That Ronaldo game against Hungary is the best example of how football is now all about statistics," a neutral fan and Twitter user gambino_66 writes.

"You can drop a 2/10 performance but score a penalty and a tap in and all of a sudden you're the GOAT. True football fans know that Maradona and Messi are in a league of their own.

"Rafa Silva was actually the player who did all the hard work against Hungary. Portugal would have lost without him. But his performance went under the radar," he concludes.

On Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 2 goals against Hungary at Euro 2020, one of them from the spot.

Rafa Silva made 2 assists, including the one for the goal that broke the deadlock; however, he's barely discussed by neutrals these days.
