Key Highlights Legacy player Wesley Sneijder predicts Kylian Mbappé will win the 2026 Ballon d’Or. Mbappé’s improved scoring ability and leadership at Real Madrid make him a strong contender. Wesley Sneijder dismisses Lamine Yamal as a clear favorite for the award next year. Harry Kane is also considered a strong candidate with his performances for Bayern Munich. The Future of Football:…

Sneijder has it all wrong for me. The issue is referees. The foul call can not be made arithmetic. Physical position isn't valid because contact does not mean a foul and the physicality of players don't count for players will play to their lack of perceived physicality or play absent a concern to their physicality, which in either case doesn't mean one player is weak and needs protection or another one is being rough. The foul call is an art, and most referees fail in the foul for two reasons. Inconsistency + blunt bias. Busquets comprehended Barca was the media darling and played to that. He comprehended, Mourinho's inter milan whose squad was full of players not thought of highly in media. Eto'o the outspoken African, who basically had issues with Real Madrid + Barcelona. Milito the great Argentine center forward who can't get a game in the Albiceleste. Sneijder the reject of real madrid, and ill tempered dutch player. the squad of senior players at inter milan who are thought to old or lacking the skill to be considered modern football players. Plus Mourinho himself, who is a negative coach, he preaches negative soccer, mou's football is anti football. Media professed all of said negative aspects to Mou's inter milan and all are lies BUT … ref's called the game as such. Media presented Guardiola as an artistic coach a philosopher coach who is reimagining the game, Messi is the darling, the humble little footballer who mothers can' have their children idolize, Iniesta/Busquets/Xavi and la masia kids are the children of the community playing for their team , so Refs treated barca like they were a treasure that shouldn't be dirtied by other teams. Referees are the problem, as Clarence Seedorf said concerning Neymar, it isn't the job of the ref to call matches based on perceptions of any players character, his job is to call the actions as he sees them. And ref's simply don't do that and are unwilling to change based on what they see. I am 100% certain referees caught Busquets playing and the rulebook allows referees to rescind a call and change it. But referees were unwilling and there you have it. Don't blame players for exposing poor refs, blame refs for being poor as I always tend to do. Busquets exposed poor refs. and players like Sneijder suffered by said poor refs. Consistency first whistle to last PLUS no club /player bias. That is the best ref.

Sneijder: "Busquets was an extremely annoying player, always giving it to others but never able to receive. As soon as he received one hit he would start crying. An absolute crybaby. I literally had fights with him every single game. At one point I told him: 'I will see you in Ibiza in the summer, then you and I will talk again.'

"In 2010 we beat Barcelona 3-1 at home, then we had to go to Camp Nou and after 8 minutes Motta hit him and Busquets started rolling on the ground while looking through his hands to see if Motta got a red card, and then he got up again and he was fine, the crybaby. A nasty guy to play against." [@ZiggoSport]
