Guardiola: 'Courtois deserved the Ballon d'Or last year'

"Last year they gave the Ballon d'Or to Benzema, but had it been Courtois, it would've also been deserved," Pep Guardiola told Movistar after beating Real Madrid 4-0.

Despite the final score, the Belgian was one of the best players on the pitch as he denied three clear-cut scoring chances by Erling Haaland. Overall, the goalkeeper remains Real Madrid's most consistent performer in big games – even if the whole team fall apart.

Karim Benzema won the 2022 Ballon d'Or. Thibaut Courtois finished 7th.

I hope you are all aware that the next Ballon D'or will be occupied by Mancity players and Inter Milan so don't cry if no Realmadrid player is nominated. It is very easy for UEFA to omit our players even when they were champions how much more now that they lost woefully.

Yah that's True Godwin,..I don't know if we're going to win any Ballon D'or this Season.. this season its like Man City has it all.. 4_0 it's too much for other clubs to recognize Us and show respect that we Hold the Cup.. Remember Liverpool it was only (1_0) and we got a Cup (Vin Jr S)

In my it is not the players fault,but the system the Coach adopted and the players he started the game with.But all is now history.If you don't fail you don't learn.But the winners still have a hurdle to cross in Inter.
