Will this scandal-hit star be a flop?Looking at the top 20 of the past two Ballon d’Or votes, one name is conspicuously missing: Enzo Fernández.So far, the Argentine has never really played a major role in the World Player of the Year vote, and yet Manchester City paid Chelsea around €145 million for the midfielder just a few days ago.

  It was a friendship they kept private. Everton and Liverpool players were not supposed to fraternise.
