da apostebet： Tottenham Hotspur captain and France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has been named on the 30-man shortlist for the upcoming Ballon d’Or ceremony.
da poker： The winner of the prize will be named in Paris at the start of December, and it would certainly be some turn-up if Lloris picked up the honour.
The 32-year-old played a key role in Spurs reaching the 2019 Champions League final – keeping four clean sheets in 11 European outings last season.
Lloris has made a number of high-profile errors recently, though – the latest against Brighton even forcing him onto the sidelines with a serious elbow injury – and it is difficult to imagine that he will seriously challenge for the award.
And even the Tottenham fans were surprised to learn that the 2018 World Cup winner – who also suffered a howler in the competition’s final when he gifted a goal to Mario Mandzukic – had been named on the list.
Indeed, many of the London club’s supporters took to social media to laugh off the announcement, and a selection of their Twitter reaction can be seen below:
