        Or just people who find it unfair to Haaland? He’s only getting it because it’s him lol, any other player in his place (except ronaldo maybe) with the same stats and he 100% doesn’t get it over haaland

          Modric won in 2018 for coming second in WC over Ronaldo. Messi not only won the world cup, he won the cup as the best player of the tournament. Haaland was absent in the big games of the man city UCL win but Messi was motm of every game outside the group stage.

          People suddenly started criticizing world cup like crazy since Messi won it as if it isn’t the most prestigious award for any nation and the most sought after by players. To win the award as the best player and complete the year with highest g+a is always enough for a balloon d’Or

            You’re right but some people will never admit it. No point arguing with them.

            Last year they discounted Messi for not having a world cup, this year there will be something else, and in 40 years they will argue Ronaldo’s enduring Instagram popularity had a bigger impact on the sport etc. etc.
