Why is Yaya crying about it,, Aubamayang deserves the award..
as much as i hv massive respect for aubamayang,i agree with yaya’s reaction,apart frm aubamayang being on fire and scoring loads of goals,has he won any tittle in the last two yrs?if going by the criteria,yaya won the afcon though did not win epl but still had a bigger chance to win the prestige award.honestly ronaldo did not win anythn last ur and u expect him to beat messi?
