Why Man City deserve Club of the Year award no matter what Real Madrid think

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Real Madrid might not like it, but Manchester City are fully deserving of their Club of the Year award. City were named the 2022 Club of the Year at the Ballon d'Or awards on Monday, capping a successful evening for the club.

City had more nominations across the different categories than any other club, while Kevin de Bruyne was named the third best men's player in the world.

Erling Haaland and Riyad Mahrez came 10th and 12th respectively in the men's rankings, while Ederson came third in the Yashin award for goalkeepers.

There was some surprise though - not least from Real Madrid themselves - that City were named the Club of the Year. City beat out Madrid (third) and Liverpool (second) to the prize having won a fourth Premier League title in five seasons back in May, playing extraordinary football and breaking records along the way.
