5 players who should not have been nominated for the Ballon d'Or

Sripad
FC Barcelona v Athletic Club - La Liga
Why are they in the list?

#4 - Sadio Mane

Liverpool v Watford - Premier League
Better than others?

Yea, Sadio Mane has been brilliant for Liverpool this year. He has been scoring and assisting at will but what has that got for Liverpool? A 4th place finish in the Premier League.

Did they win a trophy? No. Did they challenge for the Premier League title? No. They were knocked out of the FA Cup by minnows, Wolverhampton and then knocked out of the League Cup by Mane's former side, Southampton!

Tottenham stars, Dele Alli and Christen Eriksen have been better than him this year and were surprisingly ignored. Paul Pogba and the man who was carrying Arsenal throughout last season, until the very end, Alexis Sanchez have also been overlooked!
