Did the Bayern star miss out on the Ballon d'Or again this year, or was he never considered?

No votes for Mats Hummels

Once again, no Ballon d'Or for Mats Hummels. The Bayern defender was not among the 30 nominees for the prestigious award, which was given to Karim Benzema this year. Hummels has never been nominated for the Ballon d'Or, despite being one of the best defenders in the world for many years.

Reasons for Hummels' absence

There are several reasons why Hummels may have been overlooked for the Ballon d'Or. First, he is not a particularly flashy player. He is a solid defender, but he does not score many goals or make many assists. Second, Hummels plays for Bayern Munich, which is one of the most dominant teams in the world. This means that he does not always have the opportunity to stand out from his teammates.

Hummels' future

Despite not winning the Ballon d'Or, Hummels is still one of the best defenders in the world. He is a key player for Bayern Munich and the German national team. Hummels is still only 33 years old, so he has several years left in his career. It is possible that he could still win the Ballon d'Or in the future.
