Belgian Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has criticized the Ballon d'Or voting system.
"I'm sure a goalkeeper can't win the Ballon d'Or." The winner of this award is Karim Benzema, and we agree with that. But after a season like this, in which I won the Champions League and the Spanish championship, I find myself in seventh place in the voting. This shows that the merits of goalkeepers are not taken into account. At the same time, there are no defenders in the top ten. It's good that another prize was invented for us," Courtois quoted A Bola as saying.
It will be recalled that Thibaut Courtois took seventh place in the Ballon d'Or voting.
