Ernesto Valverde lets it be known would be an amazement if Lionel Messi passes up a place among the last three chosen people for the 2018 Ballon d'Or.

Reports rose in Spain this week to suggest France Football's prize will go to Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric, with Cristiano Ronaldo second and Antoine Griezmann third.

On the off chance that true, it would stamp the finish of Messi and Ronaldo's 10-year strength of the honor and the first run through the Argentina star has not been in the last three since 2006.

Barcelona head mentor Valverde concurs it is abnormal to see the 31-year-old neglected to be perceived for his frame.

"Messi was the best player in the principal week, second week and fifth seven day stretch of the Champions League [this season]," he told a news gathering. "He more likely than not played truly severely in the third and fourth week, at that point... Ok, no, he was harmed!

"What would we be able to state? We can salute the players who are. It is somewhat weird, yet there you are."

Barca continue their La Liga title safeguard on Sunday against Villarreal hoping to end a two-diversion winless run, yet ongoing wounds to Samuel Umtiti, Luis Suarez, Sergi Roberto, Rafinha and Arthur have left the squad looking extended.
