Lipsia isn't English either

No, it's how we call Leipzig.

It's weird because we still use Italianized names for most European cities (Londra instead of London, Barcellona instead of Barcelona, Dublino instead of Dublin, Monaco instead of Munich which makes it easy to mix it up with Monaco as in the Principality of Monaco) BUT you'll never see New York translated to "Nuova York" (unless you're speaking with a centenerian) or Los Angeles to "Gli Angeli".

Why did you let him go?

[–] zrk23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

"bayern monaco" always gets me

Least plastic PSG fan

[–] DyMa_Nyx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Simons, obviously he deserves it for his time at PSV/Leipzig but still our boy

[–] lesbiangirlscout@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He’s taking about Musiala. Seems like everyone thinks we let him go rather than him not wanting to stay.

[–] jMS_44@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well, I mean Colwill obviously.

But yeah, Musiala simply wanted to come back to his native Germany.

[–] No_Glove5486@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

unironically i think Holjund should win because in hindsight, sure, Bellingham´s been clutch for Madrid a lot of the time but for a young player to get two goals in an UCL game in current Manchester United, that is just imo more impressive since well, playing in Real Madrid probs is easier than in Manchester United because on the former you get more balls to score whereas United struggles a LOT (be it injuries or just having a bad game) to create chances so the fact Holjund got 2 in a UCL match of all places imo is better.

[–] LunarRaven7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He means Jamal musiala

[–] LunarRaven7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

When will the winner be announced?

bayern monaco?

[–] drodrige@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zaire-Emery and who's the other one?

[–] DyMa_Nyx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Simons, obviously he deserves it for his time at PSV/Leipzig but still our boy

[–] solgnaleb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Should be Wirtz, will be Bellingham. Wirtz has been the best player in the league in the last 1 and a half years. Only his injury was a factor. But he came back as good as ever. If you are wondering why Leverkusen is as good as they are, there are 2 reasons. 1. actually good transfers like Boniface, Xhaka and Hofmann 2. Wirtz. That boy is nothing but incredible.

Xabi is so incredibly lucky to have a team like that to manage.

Benfica could have 3 nominees if Kerkez didn’t play with us

[–] nfleite@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

OUSMANE DIOMANDE. LET'S GO GOAT!

[–] MOT1919ALAW@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Unless I’m being stupid here, you only have one player on the list

[–] El_Giganto@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Zaire-Emery and Simons?

[–] HelpMeDecideMyName@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You are commenting without the required knowledge. Xavi Simons is a PSG player on loan to Leipzig, which is why u/DyMa_Nyx is referring to him as one of his players.

[–] superbier@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

To all of r/soccer, remember Arthur Vermeeren, that kid is going to the very top

[–] moodchainz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you mean the best leftback in the league/top 5 in the world?

[–] Raicooof@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

what did he even win last szn

[–] DyMa_Nyx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yes! Grew up at La Masia, came to PSG at 18

[–] Psychocandy42@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

See? We mostly still say "Pechino" for Beijing, and "San Paolo" for Sao Paulo. On the other hand, I don't know, no one translates Salt Lake City to "Città del Lago Salato" (but we do call the lake "Gran Lago Salato").

And since you're Mexican, we still call Ciudad de México "Città del Messico", in Italian.

It's... generally weird, what we translate and what we don't.

Yes, like I said, he wanted to come back to his native country.

[–] ltecruz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Am I missing something? This list only has 20 names, no?

[–] Matewoth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Let’s gooo Milos

[–] Ugandan_Red_Sonic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

25 finalists, only 20 names.

5 last names are:

  • Arda Guler (Real Madrid)
  • Bilal El Khannouss (Genk)
  • Martin Baturina (Dinamo Zagabria)
  • João Neves (Benfica)
  • Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
[–] Wiseman_Dennis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah basically his mother is German & father was British, they split around the time he was to sign his pro’s & moved back to Germany with her

Bayern also began tapping up Musiala & Odoi up through Odoi’s brother as he represented them both

[–] averyscult2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

is he any good?

[–] emre23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Is it a coincidence that the best players are all near the top or have they accidentally published the list in the final order?

[–] robotnique@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Los Angeles is in Spanish anyway

But does the American pronunciation drive you crazy?

[–] Inter_Mirifica@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like Rayan (Cherki) should have been there. Especially seeing players like Diouf...

[–] petnarwhal@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Its a bunch of really talented players and then one of the best midfielders in the game

[–] Sensitive_Ad_1271@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe the sarcasm was not realized.

[–] dumpystumpy@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Downvotes are just upside down upvotes. I appreciate them all the same

[–] drodrige@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If I recall correctly, it was an issue of scarce opportunities for joining the first team.

[–] averyscult2@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

no no I was genuinely asking 👍🏽👍🏽

[–] Torimas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How is Alejandro Gazpacho not in this list?

[–] Cheff011@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Milos my boy

[–] Psychocandy42@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Funnily enough, "Buenos Aires" can easily be translated to "Benevento".

[–] Raicooof@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

balde at least top 3

gavi would've deserved it but not eligible cus he won already 🐐🤷

[–] DasHotShot@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’s almost insulting to have Bellingham and Musiala bunched with the rest here.

They’re both SO far ahead of the pack. If either of those doesn’t win the whole thing is just a sham

[–] DennisAFiveStarMan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Needs more Udogie

[–] freakedmind@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wait, serious question is Milos Kerkez that good?
