Messi: Past 3 years.
150 goals..53 assist.
Next???
When legends say don’t compare both cr or messi both are on same level with different style of play
Just because of these stupid people they argue about who is the best
Ohh let me mention
Out of UCL,
Out from – Copa America
Just have domestic titles
How the fuck on this earth you can say this club player deserves fifa award ?
Fucking every man knows it barca is one of the top team in the world with world class players…
When they are untied they are monsters
When they get separated they are just average player
Same to messi
Common
We are talking about the best player of the world not of one team
Van dijk or alison becker above messi this year with no doubt
This old dum pundit have no idea
2 months later says virgil should win it cause of what happened at anfield
It's funny when asked, if Messi deserved the Balon D'or, he said he "can't think off one other contender right now close to Messi for the Balon D'or" and that if something crazy happens and barca doesn't win the champions league, it still gonna be hard to turn around and say he doesn't deserve it…after that particular game against spurs, there was only three games left in the ucl . If funny after barca couldn't win the UCL, he actually turned around to pick van dyke over Messi in his top 5
Messi should have it every year as long as he plays , with my respect other great players but no one is like leo
The thing is the ballon dor is about the personal accomplishment of a player that given year. Why do these analysts keep misreading that? Luka modric was not the best player on the planet last year. But, he arguably accomplished the most.
Last season, he was even not elected in top 5, and that is sooooo funny when statistically he's better than some of players who were nominated. That also include CR7, he also is on fire since Jan till he win UCL. And look what happen with the Winner of Last Ballon d'Or? Win anything?
No way Messi doesn't deserve the Ballon d'Or this year!!! If I recall this award is an individual award…
… and just like that the gloryfied UEFA Player of the Year award is now apparently going to Van Dijk. It'll be a fucking travesty is he wins it. Messi has been by far the best individual performer for about 10 years straight yet he's been let down massively by his teammates this year.
Giving a 2019 award to Leo Messi would be a disgrace to football. He's a complete failure and choke artist.
Something crazy did happen, the team became shitty on the 2nd leg???
He is the best and has had the best season but will he win it? Who cares? He is he best player and we all know it. The applause from the opposition fans at Real Betis was worth 10 ballon d'ors and shows what true football lovers think of Messi.
Messi playing with the best players in the world has won 4 CL to Ronaldo 5 CL and Ronaldo has done it with 2 different Clubs.( Man United-Real Madrid ). Not to mention Ronaldo has won Euro cup and Messi has won nothing with Argentina. Ronaldo is better then Messi but neither are the GOAT because they haven’t won the WC.
Messiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii will win balloon dor sure
HAHA HA HA !!!!!! YOU'll Never Walk Alone !!!
Well everyone felt the same way last year about Ronaldo and he still lost it.
Van Dijk is surely the favorite for the balon d or now. He didnt let even messi dribble by him this season. No one has
Van Djk pocketed him in Anfield and raped Barca.
IF Liverpool Win The CL he deserves a Ballondr
Now that Liverpool beat Barcelona and knocked them out at the semi final of the champions league do you guys think messi has still the chance to win it ? (Just curious, please answer honest) I believe he should win it either way, but we all know francefootball…
Messi has scored 0 away knockout goals in 5 years. The GOAT?
Messi can win it bad last year I think the people who chose the winner were high on whiskey surely that Madrid guy played rubbish just because his team managed to be in the Final of the world cup did not still give him an edge on CR7 and Messi or even Mbappe. Luka Modric was as average as Christian Ansu or those also runs in LaLiga. Sadio Mane, Salah, and Son were even better than Luka Modric.
so all of you idiots here who did comment…my answer to you' all..hold my beer.
Who came after the Liverpool 4-0 game ??
LMAOOO THIS FOOL CHOKED YET AGAIN ??
