Since they won La Liga and made history in the Champions League by defeating all the favorites, including PSG, Chelsea, the defending champions, Manchester City, and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the final, Real Madrid was the strongest contender to win the inaugural Ballon d’Or club of the year award. Contrary to the Ballon d’Or, this was the first time the award was granted, and it’s unclear how it was decided, as journalists do not vote for it.
Madrid finished third.
Manchester City was the winner, and De Bruyne accepted the trophy from Luis Figo. In actuality, Real Madrid finished third, with Liverpool taking second place and Real Madrid coming in third.
Guardiola always tries to make us better; he’s the best, really. When accepting the award, De Bruyne said, “We couldn’t win the Champions League but we had a great season. He’s the best, really,” which may have clarified why they won. Others contend that the club as a whole, including the women’s team, was responsible, but the voting process has not yet been made public.

In the meantime, Real Madrid finishes the year 2022 with four out of a possible five championships, including La Liga, Champions, the Spanish Super Cup versus Athletic last season, and the European Super Cup against Eintracht this August.
Manchester City defeated Liverpool to win the Premier League, although Liverpool won the FA Cup semifinal and West Ham defeated Manchester City in the round of 16 in the League Cup.
People believe Pep Guardiola.
Ederson, De Bruyne, and two directors—Txiki Begiristain, Manchester City’s executive director, and Ferran Soriano, the soccer director—also accepted the prize.
Pep Guardiola is important to this mission, according to Txiki Begiristain, who also praised him favorably. “He is a fantastic person, when we lose he is a leader, and when we win he shares the victory with everyone,” Txiki Begiristain said of Guardiola.
