I'd agree if City wouldn't win the treble. They're after the UCL title for years, if they get it now nobody can deny it anymore that KDB has to win it. We'll see i guess.
Again, who actually was the best player overall in the season is secondary.
You need to understand that this isn't an award given by logic, it's given by popularity in the first place.
Hence why you see bums like Emiliano Martinez winning Fifa's The Best award for Goalkeepers for his WC heroics.
There's no way he's even top 10 in terms of actual ability across a season or performances, let alone the best.
KdB is very likely the best player in the planet atm, if you claim that i would agree with you.
I've seen this award being given out for years, there's no way Messi doesn't win it at this point.
