Fabio Capello analyses the current Italy squad, but thinks it “crazy Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini never won the Ballon d’Or.”
The former Milan tactician spoke to Calciomercato.com and there’s one snub he cannot let go of.
“The Ballon d’Or is a strange award, as it almost always ends up in the hands of a striker, because goalscorers light up the imagination,” noted Capello.
“If I think that Baresi and Maldini never won the Ballon d’Or, then it’s just crazy.”

Italy go into Euro 2016 and Capello is relatively unimpressed with the selection at Antonio Conte’s disposal.
“Italy have good forwards, but not great ones. Mario Balotelli? Oh no, I’m not sticking my nose into that situation!”
