Ballon d’Or 2022: Kevin De Bruyne should be favourite, but the fact he isn’t is a testament to Man City team-mates

Kevin De Bruyne is not the favourite for the Ballon d'Or, but his Manchester City team-mates are. Mohamed Salah, Karim Benzema, Robert Lewandowski and Kylian Mbappe are the leading contenders to win the award. De bruyne has been instrumental in Manchester's success. He has six goals in seven games for City. He also made a crucial assist in the game against Liverpool. Manchester United won the match. The team is on the cusp of winning the treble. It's been 23 years since an English club did that. Pep Guardiola likes that De Brueyne makes a lot of assists.
