Arsenal fans rage at Liverpool Ballon d’Or nominations

Posted by

Yesterday, it was announced that Sadio Mane and Coutinho have both been shortlisted in the final 30 for the Ballon d’Or, awarded every year to the world’s best footballer.

Liverpool did not win any silverware in 2017, but did qualify for the Champions League through a fourth placed finish in the Premier League last term.

In different stages, Coutinho and Mane have both enjoyed individually superb runs of form: Coutinho at the end of last season (and beginning of this) and Mane before his injury in April.

However, many football fans, especially Arsenal ones, think Alexis Sanchez has been very hard done by – especially considering the statistics he’s racked up in comparison with the Liverpool duo – not to mention he won the FA Cup to boot.

Here’s some of the online reaction.

Do they have a point…?
