Why don’t Italians or Serie A players win the Ballon d’Or anymore? In this episode, we dive deep into Serie A’s decline in star power, player hoarding by Europe’s elite clubs, the impact of social media on football awards, and whether current Italian talents have any hope of future Ballon d’Or glory.
The passionate debate comes from Emmet Gates, Dan Cancian and David Ferrini, who give historical context as they explore why the world’s biggest individual award keeps slipping away from Italy’s best. ⚽ If you're a fan of Serie A, Italian football history, or Ballon d’Or controversies, this one's for you!
