The Best Awards 2022 have left a lot to talk about. FIFA‘s annual accolade may not be as prestigious as the Ballon d’Or, but it’s still an important event in world soccer. Besides, it allows national team managers and captains to have their say.

Shortly after the ceremony, the governing body revealed the full list of votes by players and coaches. Of course, that information sparked all kinds of comments. For instance, Messi didn’t choose Kylian Mbappe and fans didn’t like it.

But David Alaba faced even more backlash after Real Madrid fans got to knowKarim Benzema wasn’t his first choice. However, he wasn’t the only one to leave all feelingsasideat the time of voting.
