Despite being overlooked as best player and best
forward, Ronaldo did at least win the fans' player
of the year award - voted for on social media
prior to the ceremony which the former
Manchester United man did not attend

The Barca player was disappointed his team-
mate didn't join him and Neymar among the
three finalists for the Fifa prize
Lionel Messi believes Barcelona team-mate Luis
Suarez deserved to be named among the finalists
for this year’s Ballon d’Or.

The Argentina international was named as one of
the three players up for the prestigious individual
prize on Monday, with Cristiano Ronaldo and
Neymar the other two.

That meant there was no room for Suarez, the
third member of Barca’s three-man attack.
Between them, they have scored 125 goals in
2015 so far, with the Uruguayan contributing 40
of them - including several important strikes as
Barca clinched the treble last season.


“I’d have liked to be on Ballon d'Or podium with
Ney and Luis,” Messi said at the La Liga awards
ceremony on Monday night where he was named
as the league’s best player for the 2014-15
campaign.
“Luis deserved it, but Cristiano did as well - we'll
have a good time [at the Fifa gala].”
In addition to his best player award, Messi also
scooped the award for best forward in Spain’s top
flight last season.


Accepting his trophies, he said: “I’d like to
dedicate this award to my son, Thiago.
“When I leave home, he always gets mad and
says: ‘Are you going to the goal again?’ Yes, I tell
him, I’m going to the goal!

“I am grateful for these awards - after the season
the team played, we deserved some recognition,
maybe even a little more…”

Neymar, who was named La Liga’s best American
player for the last season, also added his
disappointment at seeing Suarez miss out on the
final three for the Ballon d’Or.
“Being nominated for the Ballon d'Or means a
lot,” the Brazilian said.
“Suarez should have been there as well, though -
but Messi is the favourite, he's the number one
for me.”
Former Liverpool forward Suarez responded with
grace as he watched his two strike partners pocket
awards and nominations throughout the day on
Monday.


Writing on Twitter, he said: “Congratulations,
friends!!!! Really proud of you. I’m really glad.”

They just made up one silly award to give to ronaldo - Fans Favorite.

This LFP people are so shameless

Shey even in a poll that 'Marca' conducted, Messi was chosen over ronaldo? so how did he now become fans favorite?

ElDeeVee:
A Madrid player wins an award...it is dubious, shameful and unacceptable.
A barca player wins an award....it is well deserved.

smh

How was James and Ramos deserving of their award for 2014/2015 laliga season?

Johnpaul88:
No one gives a damn about their awards! Otamendi was the best defender last season not Ramos but they somehow had to compensate Madrid. Griezmann was the best attacking midfielder last season. Wtf is James doing there? No Madrid player stood out last season and so none deserved a place in the award. LFP continues to make mockery of themselves. The season before last, Madrid players cleaned out the award despite finishing a distant third in the league!

What s laugh!

ElDeeVee:
And how were they not deserving of the awards?? Madrid raped virtually all teams in the first half of last season.

Is the award meant for half of the season?

I did not even know Griezmann was among the nominees for best attacking midfielder. How on earth did James now win it? Griezmann that was carrying atletico madrid on his shoulders, ha.

I wonder whether Ramos has threatened to release LFP president sex tape, because there is no logical explanation for why he has won la liga best defender two times in a row - Last year it was Godin that was cheated.

This is a seasonal performance-based award, not a half-season event! James Rodríguez cannot be found in the top 4 best midfielders in the league. Rakitic, Greizmann, Ever Benega all gave a better accomplished performances. Otamendi was head and shoulders, the best performing defender through the course of the season. Ramos can only be counted after Pique had had a mention.

LFP administration have always been skewed to favour Real Madrid. Barcelona deserves plenty of accolades for continually swimming against the tides in a bias-oriented league and of course, for continually managing to stay afloat and continually winning the best trophies the game can offer.

The last time Messi was awarded lá liga best player another award was manufactured for Ronaldo and they called it most valuable player in la liga. Last year Ronaldo won it and nothing was manufactured for Messi. Now that Messi has won it again they have manufactured another award for Ronaldo and called it fans' award! Just when would these bastards stop pampering that cry baby? When?
