Keep decieving your sef, no one says Ronaldo should win this year , its VVD, last year CR7. Messi doesn't earn it on merit same to modric, dem just dey beef cr7, use less club president and football governing body. if you blind am not.

Bitter people. blatter was accused of liking Messi, now Infatino is Biased. Blatter hated Ronaldo but he has 5 Balon d'or. You people should go and sleep. On individual performance last year Messi was better than CR7 and Modric.
The thing that limited Messi was UCL and world cup. Check their stats before you start boiling.

chiellini should just shut the hell up and face his juve Carrier...I don't ave any problem with people saying VVD should ave won....fine he was good last season and even if he had won he deserved it. en same is messi...messi was head and shoulder ahead of every attacker in Europe last season....either of the two is qualified for the award ...but messi won cos one of them must win and not the two and it was obvious the voters preferred messi with votes...but someone coming here to say Ronaldo deserves the award just sounds annoying even sadio mane was far better than CR7 last....will we pls just leave sentiment and accept Ronaldo doesn't deserve to b in the film this season....either VVD and Messi deserves it en messi happened to win ...his stats are there for all to see....an outstanding one!!

eni4real:

If Rakitic win the "World best Playmaker", I will say Yes he deserves the Ballon d'or
Also, if Rakitic win the "World cup golden ball" , I will say Yes he deserves the Ballon d'or!!!

Modric teach Ronaldo one lesson: he should go back to his Playmaking self again... "Football is not about being a mere goal scorer"..

Modric:" I dedicate this award to many great players who play away from goal who had great years in the past but could not win it, Schneider, Xavi, Iniesta etc.. This award shows that sometimes football is not all about scoring goals"

. well said bro...u can't just stay upfront en expect to get final balls and do nting in the game build up....Ronaldo focused on only one thing en the other aspect his just so average if nt below average....if he had benn great in other aspects maib he won't be sitting the bench in juve by now cos he will still have a weapon in which few can better him in...but ones baba is nt scoring then he vanishes from the game and doesn't ave much impact...even his dribbling skills ain't there anymore...his shooting precision has been poor...wat does that tel us....in tells us one thing " CR7 is nt really has talented naturally has most of us thinks "...all wat he achieved was as a result of spending hours practicing and working hard on his scoring ability...other aspect of the game he never looked into....the training paid OFF for years and that's y he will always be since as a legend too...but the fact is sometimes u won't score and its ur input in games that will bring the goal for ur team...does he have such input... I bet its a NO!!!

gurunlocker:
But foolish Ronaldo fans are blaming Messi that came 5th for Ronaldo loss of Ballon D'or last year?


Even comparing stat of this year with Ronaldo stat.... Wetin con concern Messi?

you are very stupid.

Devops:
No body is underating any defender. Vigil was good no doubt. But no player came close to Messi last season on individual performance. Do you know what 5x UEFA player of the week means??
By the way no body pays to come watch a defender play

your last line shows why it ll take another twenty years for a defender to reach top 3 again... this is why many of you underrated Mikel obi for years... look at caf awards aubamayang is making top ten 10 ahead of ndidi why for scoring goals despite not doing anything for country.. you guys clearly underate defenders....

Talk is too cheap

Chiellini actually made a point..

drips8:
"Claims".

That's all he can do.

The reality is

Waka

Ronaldo always has his teammates greasing his ego wherever he is, the same thing Marcello did for him in real madrid, chellini is doing it now in juve.

einsteine:



Again, this is just rubbish.

There is no criteria, so you can stop shifting goal post. Sneijder won a treble including the UCL plus top scorer at a World Cup where he reached final yet Messi whose team was eliminated 0-4 by Germany won it, so just stop all that talk about UCL.

The awards are based on voting and voters based on who they like or who the media or authorities convince or cajole them to vote in a particular year.

There are people who voted Riyad Mahrez, does that mean Mahrez is the best.

Point is, it is an election and like in any election, the best candidate may or may not win.

All football bodies elected Modric as the best...

Even Modric won the "World best Playmaker"... an award that Ronaldo has never been nominated for..

He won everything in 2018!!!

Ronaldo was not even close...


World cup golden ball is the reason why Modric was better than Ronaldo in 2018!!!!

Ur hatred for Messi is so obvious nd its bad. Ur always against Messi in any thread abt Messi Or Ronaldo.

CrestMan:



After this your long speech, Messi is still the GOAT! Ask Modric and Van dirk

No mind dem jare. No matter how lizard do pressup reach e no fit get muscle reach Crocodile

The moral of the lesson is that, all this while, that is the same way Madrid rubbed others for ronaldo too.

Ronaldo will win it next year when Juve win the Champions league.

it isn't sarri that brought all this midfielders most of them are from free transfer bro

ibnlawal:

The message is also to Messi, he didn't attend last year's edition too....It goes both ways. Modric is one intelligent fucker.
Anyways, Madrid didn't influence sh*t, its just conspiracy theory.
Congratulations to Messi, its deserved.

Messi isn't in top 3 in last year award so he may not come because of that

How exactly ?
Ronaldo is good no doubt, but we all have to leave sentiments aside and agree to the fact that this year was just not his year,
Look at the statistics... Messi surpases him in all ramifications, so what then is the bases by which he would have won the Ballon d or ?

please learn to read.

He for give the whole thing to messi na. Bros cr7 na strong guy , forget shit , it's not easy setting in different league with totally different players and be performing, e easy. Cr7 never came to a ac without recording a goal. Cr7 is the best in ucl.
Tell me the stat, cus I cant see any stat

IgweBUIKE1:
pls face front joor...you know nothing about soccer.. some of you think that scoring fifty goals and winning trophy transcend to been the best... FYI Ronaldo is the world best that have won the award base on the sentiment of winning the champions league and scoring goal's with zero work rate

Work rate, cr7 goals ain't easy ooo, bros, when Madrid ain't playing without him can you see the difference. He speeds up a team. How you dey watch your ball.

eni4real:
Modric won the UCL in 2018 remember.. Bale fired then to the trophy....
Modric took it to another level when he win the World cup golden ball...
The only Real Madrid player to win that in this century since Zidane!!!

A typical barca fans and messi as licker

Modric in 2018:

World best Playmaker award winner
World cup golden ball winner
UEFA best midfielder
UEFA best player award winner
FIFA best player award winner
Ballon d'or winner
Goal 50 winner..

5 Different bodies agreed that Modric was the best..

I guess they are all Barcelona fans too!!!

Guinness world record for most goals scored in a season 73, and most goals scored in a year, 91!!!

91 goals, 26 assists...

Highest level of output by any individual player in history!!!!

lol!! exactly the answer I wanted. so you can see that in football only Goals matters. intact, I'll screenshot this so I can remind you anytime y'all start the rubbish of ronaldo being just a goal poacher to console yourselves.


BTW,, W/O goals, nobody! I repeat nobody will remember messi, he if likes he should makes 50,000 career assist and dribbles. FIN

And who did Ronaldo and Juventus robe to win Seria A player of last season?

Messi is not a mere goal scorer...

That is why he won the World best Playmaker award, 4 times!!!

Even if Guinness award Messi for highest goal ever in a season...
. Another body, is awarding him for awards that should be normally won by midfielders...

Playmaking is the reason why Ronaldo is not as good as Messi overall..

Anybody can score a lot of goals, Jamie Vary Lewandoski, now Immobile are leading goals chart in top 5 Europe but they are not as good as Mane... who offer more!!!

That us the challenge Ronaldo keep having with Messi... If his team does not win trophies, he rarely win awards.. Even if his team win trophies, he does not win tournaments best players... He has constraint himself to goalpoaching...

If only goals matter, Lewandoski should win 2019 Ballon d'or
. And Harry Kane should win 2017 Ballon d'or!!!

Messi offer so much more...

It's like comparing Zico with Van Basten!! !

That means, nobody will remember Ronaldinho because he doesn't score many goals??

We are talking about magic...
. Ronaldinho is entertainment
Messi is dribbling and Playmaking!! You can't forget players like that...

Goal poachers have expiry date... I am not talking about Ronaldo tho.. He can do more than goal poaching... But he constraint himself to mere goal scoring and that method has not been working as usual since Modric!!!

If you watch 2008 Ronaldo, you will know that Cristiano could have been a better player than he is right now!!! He lost so many skill set!!!
