Every Ballon d'Or podium. All seventy years. In one film.
THE DESK — NOTES & REMARKS
Annual template film, per the order's 'Ladder Law' — every October the data table gains one row, the outro re-points to the new year, and the whole thing reposts. IG version (silent, music added manually in the composer) posted separately by the operator.
THE LOWDOWN — THE FULL HISTORY
THE START
It starts with a 41-year-old Englishman, Stanley Matthews, beating Real Madrid's best by three points in 1956.
THE CHAOS
The podium has broken in strange ways over 70 years: outright ties in 1957, 1972 and 1991, and a year nobody won at all.
THE DUEL
The Messi-Ronaldo era swallowed the record books for the better part of a decade.
THE PRESENT
October 26, three more names join the list — the 2026 podium still waiting to be filled.
