Why?! Because of the goals he scored for Man City and Norway?!! Lol.

It doesn't begin and end with goals sir.

If it did, only Strikers will be winning it year in year out... People like Luka Modric would never have been considered for it.

Honestly, Mbappe should even win it if Messi wasn't to get it... Why?!! The young man singularly carried France on his young shoulders almost to world cup glory, and if France had won it, there would have been no contest.

Ballon d'Or is for players who play massive influence and lead their teams to glory all round.

That was why Fabio Cannavaro won it in 2006 instead of Thierry Henry who was an attacking legend. Why?!! He influenced and led Italy to world cup glory!
interesting so haaland has no influence in man city treble?....have you seen how man city struggle to pull goals if pep uses argentine alvarez to strike on some days

Chief... Haaland is a goal scorer. That's his job.

But, does he truly lead and influence games like Mbappe, Bellingham, Rodri, Gundogan, etc?!! Like Kane?!!

Do you even know the meaning of INFLUENCE?!! Especially at critical times or moments in tournaments?!!

Typical examples:

1. Portugal losing by a lone goal in a key Euro qualifier, and Ronaldo comes in second half to score 2 goals and win the game.

2. Scott McTominay replicated the same in a more dramatic fashion not too long ago for his club.

3. Mbappe's effort in getting France from a terrible losing position at the world cup final to injury time, which they came close to winning if not for the magical save by Martinez.

4. Ronaldo turning the tide for Madrid in their second leg against Juventus.

5. Messi pushing Barcelona to glory from losing positions severally in the past.

Fallacy, Self-deceipt.

Haaland was the best scorer last season,he wasn't football.
He wasn't even the best player in City last season.
Always drop sentiments when commenting.

Messi put in a World Cup performance that's unrivaled in contemporary times last year. Halaand never stood a chance. Next year may be...

Based on popular opinion, Messi, Ronaldo, Pele & Maradona are all GOATs in their own rights.
It's all a matter of personal opinions, & you are quite entitled to yours.

But I still believe it will take a very very long time for a player better than Messi (or the other GOATs) that will break all his records to emerge.

It is not about winning a trophy it is about how you performed in winning the trophy. So if the case was reversed and Messi had the same stats then he would still win

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

Messi deserved this without question.
. What‘s all these noise about? Apart from the WC which Di Maria was the real force behind the victory and not messi, what other factors did they use to award this man?
His performance in PSG? Which was a sorry end or what? Or in Inter Miami MLS that he met at position 13th on the table and now they are on 15th? Me I just don‘t understand.
In just one seasonl Haaland won the trible at first try and was still not considered. What is really going on with this their Ballon politics nonesense award?

If Messi deserved it, then iniesta deserved it in 2010...but Messi robbed him of it and they all said a 7 game tournament is not enough.... and that messi won la liga and was top scorer in champions league and Europe .... Haland wins the treble and is top scorer and the champions league, the league with a league new record and city's first ever CL.... Awards are rigged....only fools believe the crap

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

Without halaand city can win treble ... y dint they win it since until he came along in his first season... y dint Messi win it with psg

The real GOAT.
Talent and humility with no noise.
Humility when he attacked the legendary Louis Van Gaal.

Humility when he started crying after losing Copa America final cos lowly rated Chile beat his team silly and he said he's retiring. Shey he's blind and couldn't see the future that he ll still win more. He should v resigned then.

Humility when he impregnated a girl out of wedlock. And he's a catholic o!

Messi's not special cos 3 awards were given to him. If dem born you well, quote me without facts. And not you alone but other Pessi fans from Almoron aka Almiron to others. E soro kin gba eti yin?

Even if he impregnated Antonella, atleast he married her the right way unlike Penaldo that goes about raping and impregnating girls out of wedlock. 😂😂😂

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.
Di Maria isn't the best player in the World Cup, he wasn't the best player in the Argentine team. Besides, he got his flowers for scoring in all International Finals he's played in.

Halaand too have been acknowledged through the Gerd Muller trophy and Golden boots.

However, We are talking about Messi today, stop the jealousy
