A lots of Manchester City Fans have reacted badly to seeing Raheem Sterling make the 30-man Ballon d’Or list.
The list, officially unveiled today, includes an impressive five players from the European Champions with five Man City first-team stars nominated for the 2021 edition of the Ballon d’Or
As per France Football’s announcement on Friday, Kevin De Bruyne, Ruben Dias, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling were named within the final 30 nominees for the 2021 Ballon d’Or award alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
After a season of major domestic success, in the form of a third Premier League title in four seasons and a fourth consecutive Carabao Cup title, it comes as no surprise to see several of Pep Guardiola’s squad nominated for high-profile awards.
However, the inclusion of Raheem Sterling, who has been heavily criticized recently, has left fans in some form of disbelief.
Here is some of the best reaction on social media from fans of rival Premier League clubs.
