Fabio Cannavaro was the last defender to win the Ballon d'Or in 2006, when he captained Italy to World Cup glory. Fourteen of the last 15 editions of the award have been won by an attacker, with midfielder Luka Modric (in 2018) the only non-forward to win it in that time.
The striker Joselu believes Carvajal deserves the Ballon d'Or the most due to his achievements in scoring, importance, and being an MVP in finals, especially citing his contributions in both Real Madrid and Spain's victories.
