Many people think the Balon d or is an emotional award.
Clearly lewa deserves 2020 own, and it is unfair it was cancelled.
But saying Messi doesn't deserve 2021 own after being the best player individually and giving Argentina their first Copa america in 28 years is insanity.
We watched a particular fan base uphold kante, from kante dey jumped to team jorginho, from team jorginho they went to benzema, then to lewandowski, because they know their favorite can't win it.
Messi winning the Copa America trophy, the MVP, THE GOLDEN BOOT AND THE TOP ASSIST in addition to his individual club achievement made him stand out.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed disappointment at critics who claim Lionel Messi should not have been awarded the 2021 Ballon d’Or, Newspremises reports.

Lionel Messi was on Monday, November 29, handed his seventh Ballon D'or award by France football, the decision however, sparked controversies among football fans.

However, Guardiola who coached Messi during their time at Spanish club Barcelona insisted that no one can say it was unfair that the award went to Messi

With Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski missing out on the coveted prize last year, many claim the Polish striker should have been handed the award.

And as the debates continue to generate comments, Guardiola says it is unfair to the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.

He said via Sportal:

"Don't ask me about that, it is what is is. We can never say it's unfair that [Lionel] Messi wins the Ballon d'Or. It's a show, a nice business to make football more entertainment. A big compliment to Alexia [Putellas], Pedri, Leo."

Many believe Lewandowski deserved to win the award last year when France Football decided against handing out the accolade on the back of the pandemic.

Alex Ferguson should've moved to those teams you mentioned to prove himself. Since he didn't, according to you, hes even a worse fraud than pep who has coached more than one team
So you don't know what SAF did with Abarden in Scotland before he moved to Manchester United?

Fergie was successful at Aberdeen before joining United. Aberdeen I said o, not Celtic or Rangers. He literally broke that duopoly. Guardiola manages the strongest teams in each league he has managed. Please don't bring in Sir Alex name to justify your argument. Them no be mate.

Fraudiola is a sentimental fellow.
Even Dani Alves the right hand man of Messi disagreed with the outcome of the award.

One thing certain, France football can't award him goals in French farmers league.
Neither are they going to award him champions league

Alves wanted the Ballon D’or for Eriksen. Does that makes sense to you?

The funniest thing Is that, These people clamouring for Lewy to win don't even care about him winning, remember they rooted for benzema, Kante and Jorginho.
All they want is any other player other Messi should win the Balon D'or

Evra a week before the Balon D'or voting closed
Said that he is sick and tired of messi winning
That he did nothing this year
That Kante and Jorginho deserves it

After Messi was awarded the Balon D'or, he made a 7mins video criticizing France football and asking why Lewy didn't win.

Toni Kroos said benzema and later Jorginho

Are you really blaming Messi? Don't be crazy please, Messi is not the organizer, he didn't ask them to give him the award, you should be blaming those that voted not Messi....Lewi deserved it more, yes, but Messi won, that's on the organizers and not Messi...

A coach that spent almost a billion Euros on one club.

You must think he won those trophies coaching Burnley.
