Episode Synopsis
Why don’t Italians or Serie A players win the Ballon d’Or anymore? In this episode, we dive deep into Serie A’s decline in star power, player hoarding by Europe’s elite clubs, the impact of social media on football awards, and whether current Italian talents have any hope of future Ballon d’Or glory.
