Messi, Ronaldo and others miss out as Ballon d'Or 2020 is cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic

There will be no Ballon d'Or 2020 winners announced this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Ballon d'Or, awarded by France Football magazine has been given out every year since Stanley Matthews won the first one in 1956. Barcelona and Argentine playmaker, Lionel Messi, has won it a record six times than any player. His arch rival, Cristiano Ronaldo has won it five times. 

A statement from France Football reads: "For the first time since 1956, the Ballon d’Or will take a break. There will be no edition in 2020, because it turns out, after thoughtful consideration, that all the conditions are not met. We believe that such a singular year cannot -and should not- be treated as an ordinary one.

"From a sports perspective, two months (January and February), out of the eleven generally required to form an opinion and decide who should lift the trophies, represent far too little to gauge and judge; without forgetting that the other games were played – or will be played – in unordinary conditions (behind closed doors, with five replacements, Champions League’s Final 8 played in a single game).

"Finally, the equity that prevails for this honorary title will not be warranted, especially when it comes to accounting and preparation: all the award seekers will not be in the same boat, some having seen their season cut short. Therefore, how can we establish a fair comparison? To avoid overly convoluted calculations and projections, we chose the least bad of the options.

"This decision, which was taken of course with all the Group stakeholders, does not delight us but it seems to be the most responsible one. Protecting the credibility and legitimacy of such an award also means ensuring its flawlessness over time.

"The Ballon d’Or will gather again the football big family and enthusiasts in 2021, to relive the happiness that surrounds the ceremonies as we have experienced them in recent years."

This year will mark the first time the football's most coveted individual prize will not be handed out.

Solskjaer should be worried about ‘unrecognisable’ De Gea – Premier league legend Neville laments

Manchester United should be “worried” that star goalkeeper David de Gea is performing badly, according to Premier league legend and former Manchester United defender Phil Neville.

 

De Gea's errors in Sunday night's 3-1 loss to Chelsea, has become a norm, costing the club a place in the final of the FA cup against Arsenal.

De Gea, a four time Manchester United player of the year has earned over 400 appearances and is one of the highest paid players in Manchester United.

De Gea has been relatively unchallenged as number one at Manchester United over recent years, but young goalkeeper Dean Henderson is now breathing down his neck after impressing on loan at Sheffield United.

Former United star Neville admits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will soon have a big decision to make following a disappointing showing from De Gea at Wembley against Chelsea

“He's unrecognisable from the player that won Player of the Year awards.' Neville told BBC Sports.

“If I was Solskjaer I'd be worried. His credentials are still up there with the best in the world but he's lost all his confidence.”

Neville also claimed that United got their tactics wrong after the team lined up in an unfamiliar 3-4-3 formation against the Blues.

Neville added: “I don't think United had a player on the pitch, maybe [Bruno] Fernandes, that played well.

“I think Ole picked the wrong team and the wrong system.”

'Of course, I wish everyone associated with the club nothing but the best. Once a blue, always a blue. However, I’m incredibly excited to have joined one of the biggest clubs in Europe. 

'The direction they are heading in and how much they help young players improve made it an fans when they are back inside one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world – hopefully as easy decision for me personally and my family. I can’t wait to perform in front of over 80,000 soon as possible!'
