Messi was strategically placed 5th last season to ensure he doesn't split Modric votes.
It ensured all Messi lovers voted for Modric in protest against CR7.
It was intentional. Messi was never going to win even if he was in top 3.

CorperKola:

The way i see it, the reason is that messi is not a typical goalscorer, his aim is to influence the match
And he can do this by scoring(ronaldo level goalscorer) and creating play(he won an award few days ago for being the best playmaker in the world)
So when the going gets tough upfront he drops deeper to create play because like i said his aim is to influence the match in his teams favour and he has good goalscorers too in his teams
Do you know how many world class goalscorers are in argentina?
Ronaldo on the other hand is only a capable goalscorer and nowhere near an adequate playmaker, so you have to surround him with good midfieldiers and pacy wingers and a selfless striker.
Mechanical dribbling actually looks fake and too try hard, before performing countless stepovers to dribble one person, messi has dribbled two peopke in one swift movement
Messi's dribbling is actually simpler, again this explains why he is able to do it consistently(highest number of completed dribbles in the last 10 years)
So baba there you have it

romme2u:




why waste your time n energy engaging messi fans.................they are never objective shifting goal post as it suits their narrative


I don't know which i loathe the most messi fans OR buhari supporters................................emotional n slow

DECLAN2015:



Dribbling is a skill so do running shooting and heading.u love messi .But we have keeper,midfielder defender too.let the award extend to them

J2381:
Seriously aside Barcelona what else have Messi achieved?

Divay22:

Noooooo
So am not gonna be seeing your comments anymore

Haha lol..... So what are you trying to say??

but seriously I don tire

romme2u:





It still won't qualify him to the 2019/2020 champions league final

CorperKola:

Even his dribbling is too mechanical, comical stepovers, and his goals like i said are mostly tap ins, you cant compare them to the beautiful goals messi scores.
Messi's style just has the edge for me
And messi's dribbles are far better thats y hes averages far more dribbles
Messi is also a far better playmaker, possibly the best in the world too(because of his vision, passing and dribbling)
Ronaldo must be respected, make no mistake about that.
Messi is i think at least 50% better than him especially now
2007-2010 they were prolly very close but not now
So its fair that messi finishes his career with more ballon D'ors

This z d most valid point....stat even shows that those times cr7 won,it was mostly on the votes of non performing coaches n country captains.....internationally aclaimed world class coaches and team captains who know what good football is have always voted Messi...Although i must say he is mostly enjoying his Talent rather than his hardwork.ronaldo deserves some accolades for his commitment to improving...if messi trains 30% as hard as ronaldo...he'll be d king of sport.thats Ronald's pain,he thinks everything is about hardwork...talent is not skill,nature simply placed the little man yards ahead of him b4 d race started.

Hardword beats talent..
cr7 has an edge

DECLAN2015:



What is d main tournament now
Is it not champion leaque where Barca was disgraced

lovinhubby2wife:
Honestly between modric and ronaldo who deserved it more last year, please be honest

Numerouno94:

U can go nd sue fifa nd french magazine.
Wen Ronaldo win its not fraud. Buh its fraud wen messi wins abi

yusman14:
Bro u said his goals are mostly tap ins?
u are just judging cr7 base on last 2 years . .Take a look at his early seasons at real Madrid and man-u,u will know that cr7 his a better dribbler....

Hope you know that mateo kovacic is currently the world best dribbler with the highest take-ons?? stop overhyping messi

yusman14:
Hardword beats talent..
cr7 has an edge

Kingsley10000:
between Your pained goat(penaldo)and Ribbery who deserved 2013 balon.dor

All votes based on sentiment in favour for Messi

Ronaldo still remain the best

Messi is a one team man can't excel beyond Barcelona

Also good for VVD for talking trash of Ronaldo that he wasn't a rival to him, stardom gotten to his head, unimaginable disrespect for Ronaldo

NORSYK:


Dig up their stats of that season let's compare

Wallade:


Did you get the information that a number of countries contested their recorded votes as presented. Egypt's votes were recorded for Messi and Egypt came out afterwards to indicate that they voted for Sarah. The excuse later presented again was that they cancelled Egypt's votes. A number of countries also complained.

In my opinion, the Male World Footballer of the Year award as organised and presented by FIFA is highly controversial and no longer a true evaluation of performance.

Wallade:


Google is your friend. Ask Google!

"However, Sudan’s coach Zdravko Lugarisic and Nicaragua’s Juan Barrera have alleged their ballots do not represent what they actually submitted.

Barrera is reported to have said: “I did not vote for Messi. I was surprised to be on the list of captains who voted for Messi and there is no explanation how it appeared there.”

Lugarisic was also listed as voting for Messi as his first choice but he has taken a screenshot to show he opted for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.

However FIFA insist the documents submitted by the Nicaraguan and Sudanese FAs were published correctly and arrived with official stamps. They have contacted the two FAs to inquire on the matter.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian Football Federation claim their votes, by coach Shawki Ghareeb and captain Ahmed Elmohamady, were not included in the results.

“The Egyptian Football Federation officially sent Egypt’s vote to Fifa on 15 August, four days before the deadline,” a statement by the Egyptian governing body read.

"National team captain Ahmed Elmohamady voted while the Olympic team's manager Shawki Ghareeb voted after the resignation of the coaching staff.”

It “asks Fifa why the Egyptian vote was not accepted” and has decided to open an “investigation” into the circumstances of this failure.

In response to Egypt’s complaint, a FIFA spokesperson told Reuters: “The Egyptian FA have received two reminders to submit the properly signed voting forms on 19 August 2019.

"The Egyptian FA has not submitted a response within the (limited) timeframe until Wednesday, 21 August 2019.

“Therefore, the votes from the Egyptian FA could not be counted."

After it was revealed Egypt did not cast a vote, Salah posted a message on Twitter.

He tweeted: “Whatever they do to try to change my love for Egypt, they will not succeed.”"

Ronaldo dribbles past players steadily. Even last UCL against Atletico, he dribbled past three players before he later scored a hat trick in same match.

kingkakaone:

I still think Messi works hard.
He's a shy and private person so he's not used to showing his off field stuffs.

Ronaldo on the other hand is like Nigerian Instagram slay queens who may commit suicide if their new dresses go unnoticed by the public.

He's good in publicity.

Kingsley10000:
so you didn't know what happened during 2013 calender year and you want me to argue with you.It seems you started watching football of recent.
PENALDO-He scored 69 goals in
59 games.

Ribbery scores
statistics in 2013 have been simply mind-
boggling with an astonishing 66 goals in 56 games
he won 4trophies in that calendar year.




You don't know anything in football lad

Of course he was.
