11 months agoThis mild take is honestly lacking. Everything is either black and white with no nuance. Messi is a deserving winner. Halaand would have been a deserving winner. Mbappe would have been surprising but would have been a deserving winner. Each of them did get voted as best player by some, but not by others.
Messi and Ronaldo broke the trend by consistently scoring a goal a game. Now everyone is at it.
Back in the 90s if a striker got a goal every 2 games they’d be heavily praised.
