da realsbet: Son Heung-min placed 22nd in the rankings for the 2019 Ballon d’Or.
da 888: Barcelona forward Lionel Messi pipped Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk to the trophy, whilst Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane made up the top four.
Son has been in red-hot form for Tottenham Hotspur during the 2019/20 campaign, scoring nine times and contributing eight assists in 18 appearances.
Last season, meanwhile, the attacker managed 20 goals in 48 appearances at club level, and a number of Spurs fans have lavished praise on him following Monday’s announcement.
Many others, though, were disappointed that the South Korea captain was not ranked higher when considering his form at club and indeed international level.

The 27-year-old has scored 26 times in 89 appearances for his country, including three goals in 2019.
One fan even claimed that Son was worthy of a position in the top 10, having also helped Tottenham reach the 2019 Champions League final with four goals in 12 appearances.
The competition was fierce, though, and perhaps Son would have needed to inspire the London club to last season’s European crown in order to stand a chance of making the top 10.
Meanwhile, a number of the club’s supporters were recently delighted with the news surrounding one of their talented youngsters.
