Kevin de bryune should be higher …but atleast he made it this far despite being this same consistent good for around 3-4 years… when he was not even top 10
Such bullshit, what does rodri have to do to win it.
If any other player had the exact same season as Messi they wouldn’t win it.
Messi and Ronaldo could fart in their backyard and would win some silly ass shit because of their name.
GOAT MESSI !
Jason steele robbed
its incredibly funny that rodri is 5th while mbappe is 3rd lol
Dibu is crying seeing messi you love to see it.
Biggest robbery in the history of BdO
Corrupted ranking.
Can’t believe Mbappe got 3rd over Rodri & KDB for winning nothing
An MLS player has won Ballon D’Or, and people say it is a farmers league
An legend that played his entire career in Europe moved to MLS for a payday… can’t take the credit there.
In the US we subsidize ballon d’or’s as much as we subsidize corn.
French newspaper that votes. Not exactly the biggest fans of the EPL. Especially with Beckham throwing his Qatar money at them
The MLS has more Ballon D’Or winners in the last decade than the prem. Won’t sing that
Bellingham surely will get one soon
Bellingham doesn’t play in the Premier League.
Sure Man City can win everything in Europe but could they do it on a cold snowy night in Minnesota?
Well, it certainly was not a surprise, was it?
Surprise? No.
The wrong decision? Yes.
The world cup needs to have a separate award because Haaland could not do more to deserve the award except be born from a more prominent footballing nation.
Born in fucking Leeds, United Kingdom
I think Messi deserved it. It’s not just being a participant for being a world cup winner but the manner in which he won it. The leadership, the dribbling, the playmaking, the heart. If anything came short Argentina would have lost. He had that much pressure on him
I think he also needs to have a significantly better season than his competition. Not marginally.
Messi had comparable XGI. And just like Haanland, he also won the league.
It’s the rest of the trophies that made the difference.
I disagree. It’s not so much winning the World Cup as how he won it. Losing to Saudis game one. What a comeback. He is a complete player who inspired his entire team to be their absolute best. El Capitan.
Haaland is not a complete player. I know he scored goals but he just happens to be a huge dude who runs forward and his teammates give him amazing assists.
Messi is very much a complete player. The goals. The assists. The dribbling. The leadership. The inspiration. Which can you name?
Very much the right decision. The others will get their turn.
It’s almost like this whole thing is just a soccer circle jerk.
They have. Golden ball and silver ball.
Let’s give this on to haaland and strip Modric of the one he won. By your logic Messi would still end up with 8 balón d or.
Why would Messi win the ballon d’or in the year Modric won?
Modric won, not just because he had good performances, but Madrid won the UCL and Croatia reached the final.
Messi may have been ‘better’, but his teams did not do well in the UCL or World Cup. Knocked out in UCL and World Cup in the Quarter Finals.
Every other year you’d be as well calling it the award for best player in the team that won the champions league
The Goat strikes again
craig dawson robbed
It always makes me happy to see love being shown to Dawson
Miss him.
No way Inter Miami have a Ballon D’or before Spurs and Chelsea
