Haaland's time will come, most likely this year... He should put in more effort. Messi and Ronaldo are done with Ballon d'Or.

Messi deserved this without question.

Mbampe and Bellingham are in better form that haaland this season so far!

He's the best ever no doubt, but some of the claims here are an overreaching- maybe true on technicality. He technically got the award on a different continent because he's currently in America but we all know there's nothing he can play here that can give him a balon for. And winning it in 3 clubs? Technically true but we know he won it in one club and in the second club because of World cup.

Modified: I thought those claims were from GWR which would be a bit going to far for such an organization. Now that the image finally got loaded, I can see it's the OPs claims and it's very much understandable

Di Maria won the World Cup, yet it seems like nobody acknowledges his achievement now. With Messi, everyone is bringing up various arguments and conditions to justify his deserving of recognition.

Take a look at Erling Haaland's success in the English Premier League (EPL). Not even Mo Salah was able to achieve such a remarkable record. Haaland aims to break all of Ronaldo's goal and trophy records in a single season.

If you support Messi's victory, it's only fair to support * as well. It's important to use common sense even when you have hair on your head.

There is a difference between best scorer and best player, that is why golden boot and golden ball exist.

You don't get it yet. Its not enirely about winning these cups but contributions in winning them. There are statistics like assist, goals, goals in final, dribbles/number of successful dribbles, number of man of the match, goals and assist in group, round of sixteen, quarter, semi and finals. Its not about scoring goals alone

Messi is an abnormal human being. Guaduola said they should create a special category of Ballon D'or for him and another one for the rest. He is simply a phenomenal. The last World Cup matches he played were unbelievable. At times I feel he is on steroids. And because he wasn't on steroids, that World Cup performance capped with the crown deserves a Ballon D'or!

In a non World Cup year, Halland would have walked away with his 1st award.

Even though I greatly admire Ronaldo. Messi is just the G.O.A.T ! !! !!!

Mbappe has always been consistent, he just needs that Madrid switch...!

Bellingham's future is quite bright, but it's still too early to conclude since the season just started.

However, Haaland will never stop scoring... He is currently the most complete striker in Europe. Next year's Ballon d'Or has his name on it.

Go back to statistics and check individual awards......goal isn't only criteria to win ballon d'or.

Please go and check numbers of,
"man of the match" alone in last season. Not to talk of assists, dribbles, MVPs. etc.


In all trophies Haland won last season, he won them with a "near perfect team". While Messi won 2 of major trophies with average and lower teams, in which he was the player that carried the team.


Have you ever asked urself, about Haland performances in Norway? Norway not only failed to qualify for World cup but also failed again for euro.

Can u say the same thing for Messi at Inter- Miami?


Oga, it's experts in soccer that voted o and not you who always watch with emotion, sentiment and only interested in who score.

Useless FIFA setting useless record without remorse

Another fraud again just because this man is licking FIFA ass

I will just advise Messi to resign from football unless he desire to disgrace himself from now, since he left Barca he has been playing poorly

Even the world cup seems like a planned tournament just to prove a point by FIFA

They should ensure he collect next one in the no relegation league

I've known Lionel Messi is the best football player of all time since 2011/2012 season. Is it the dribbles?, The physics defying passes,? The skills, the creativity, the ball control etc or what? And he still scores too...



Lionel Messi. Best football player EVER.

balon d or is not given for trophies, its given for an individual brilliance talent and ur ability to mesmerise without haaland mancity can win treble but without messi argentina wouldn't have been to the finals talk more of even winning it,also messi magical display at the world cup gave it to him maybe from next year since the football world don't have have magical football players they will start giving it to goal scorers again,but if any magical player like dinho kaka ronaldo messi rise up again he will dominate that award over any goal scorer ,I see mbappe dominating that award over haaland ,cos mbappe is quite talented
