Wesley Sneijder he already believes 2010 Ballon d’Or he should have won. “Yes,” said the former Dutch footballer directly in an interview with ‘FAKT’. That year, the trophy went to Leo Messi and two teammates from FC Barcelona: Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández. But the former Madrid player remains convinced that he deserves it.
“It doesn’t matter anymore, history can’t be undone. One more thing is important: I’m always asked about this matter. More than a dozen years have passed and many are still disturbed by the jury’s verdict and feel sorry for me.” This in itself is a great expression of gratitude for me, a great compliment, because it means that for fans and journalists this topic is not dead, but still relevant.”
Sneijder added: “In the general opinion, I have the status of a victim. It makes me happy and I don’t know if I would really be happier if I received the Ballon d’Or. Furthermore, I honestly admit that what I always dreamed of winning the Champions League, not the Ballon d’Or, so somehow I achieved the most important thing,” he said in reference to the title he won in 2010 with Inter Milan, where he also won the Club World Cup.
