This analysis is a funny one.

The Ballon d'Or has been separated from the World Player of the Year...So when you Campaign for your Messi as World Player of the Year I can understand the sentiments; but you expect Messi to win Ballon d'Or for getting to the finals of the Copa America, in an EUROs year? Funny.

What is the business of UEFA & French Journalists with Copa America?

Make a distinction when analysing it oooo....Messi neither won the UCL nor league, and you want him to win Ballon d'Or for scoring a freekick in the Copa.

The likes of Lewy, Kante will be obvious front-runners for the Ballon d'Or, not Messi.

...

Kante front runner for the ballon d or ,even after being kicked out of the euros

Dey deceive your self

Jorginho
Havertz
Azpilicueta
Sterling & Stones (League)


Right now, all these boys are well above Messi because they won the UCL/League & Messi didn't win anything.

If any of them wins the Euros, Messi will not even hold a candle to their performances this season.


See Ekuke players Wey Dey above Messi

The only player I can remember that won the Balon D'Or without winning anything was Messi in 2010.

Stole Sneijder's award after same Sneijder kicked him out in UCL & WC. Robbery.
Oga he won the league in 2010 the same will be said in 2013 Ribery was also robbed he won the treble and they gave it to Ronaldo

Its not just about having a better stats than last year. Last year, their UCL victory would have boosted his chances and on a personal level, no player could beat his performance and achievements. In the space of 1year, things have changed and the competition for balon dor is tight. His personal stat is impressive just like Messi, Mbappe & KDB but they all missed out on the UCL which would have played a major role. Now the deciding factor would be the euros or copa america since no player could lay claim based personal and club achievements.

Neymar's case is different. He was never in the race. If it were Mbappe, winning the tournament would increase his chances by 50% considering the fact that, Lewy, De-bruyne & Kante didn't perform well.
oil dey ur head....I don leave fergie for u bcoz his sentiments for cr7 is too alarming....calling players dt were never in d race to win ball on d or because its an euros year..
so jorhinho dt was poor with Chelsea all season would win votes from french journalist n win ballon d or ahead of messi dt was consistent all year....some kind talk eeh

Agreed.


Agreed.


I partly agree.
Then, it was a FIFA Ballon d'Or that involved votes from all over the world and not just Europe.

Messi & Ronaldo will always do their thing here for obvious reasons.


Lewy's performance still best-ed everyone else's.
Infact, he had a better stat than last year....31 matches...34 goals, 4 assists (last year).

This Year....29 matches....41 goals, 7 assists. Only missing thing for him this year was the UCL....didn't he have a fine run like Shevchenko. [Outside International Goals].


Copa America? OK ooooo....
Mbappe is OUT.
De Bruyne is a NO.

Let me ask you, Messi won the Copa del dey just as Neymar won the French Cup. If Brazil wins the Copa, will Neymar stand a chance for the Ballon d'Or? Be sincere.


no because neyma was very poor with PSG n was disturbed with injuries while mbappe played key role n even dt neyma hasn't find form in this copa n dts why messi would win d award for best player in this copa with his 4 goals n 5 assist..
messi is the only player leading the race as it stands so jus accept it n forget this ur euros year trash

Yes, 2013 too was Ribery not CR7. Everyone knows this.
Messi robbed Sneijder in 2010. Short thief.

Yes I agree. But that's because we now have immature clowns like you all over social media parading themselves as football fans.

A good example of majority may not always be right.


I want you to place Messi's achievements side by side with those players and show me where he surpassed them.

Messi is not the ballon d'or favourite because of trophies but because he's the best player in 2021.

Same thing happened in 2012 when he won just CDR.

If he wins the Copa America on Saturday, forget it.

I understand where the hater of Messi coming from, but I would love to tell you that he's the favourite due to the performance he put up in the league and likewise the e Copa America the most man of the match above all the player in top five league.
