I AM SHOCKED AND SURPRISED WITH THE LEVEL OF ABUSIVE WORDS ON THIS PLATFORM ONTOP PLAYERS THAT ARE MAKING MONEY AND BUILDING THE FUTURE OF THERE KIDS AND FAMILIES UNA DEY HERE DEY ABUSE UNA MAMA AND PAPA .
meanwhile some people keep saying pep won because he had all stars players. My question is this , Who made those guys world class players ? Ake, Akanji, foden, walker , benardo, and so on and even Ederson is second choice keeper for Brazil. The truth is that we don't know these guys as all stars until pep made them all stars. What I can call all stars was the Real Madrid Galaticos era of Iker Casillas, Ivan Helguera, Ronaldo Lima, Francisco Pavon, Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Walter Samuel, Michel Salgado, Roberto Carlos, Raul Gonzalez, David Beckham and so on.

2010 wc iniesta scored the winning goal and even was the best player but he didn't win Wesley Sneijder wey win cl and reach final they nor give them but they give the balloon d'or to pessi who scored 0 goals and gave 4 assist. Wow.

Im a barca fan my guy. 2010 Ballon D'or win was made to favour Messi. That is the sole Ballon D'or of Messi that I emphatically disavow.

2014's Ballon D'or of Ronaldo was a sham too. But not so much of a sham as that of 2010. Besides he broke a long-standing UCL record. Muller won the World Cup amongst other club trophies but was not the poster boy of the Bayern team. It was Robben and Ribery that were the most terrific, let's be honest, and they had quite a dismal WC campaign. Messi's 2014, was quite a dull one -- coming back from some niggling injury that plagued him in 2013. Messi also did not win the League or the CL. If he had won the WC, the argument would have changed. Ure just picking Muller cos he won everything, just like saying Alvarez should take the Ballon D'or cos he won all trophies. Even on that same German 2014 team, Ozil was much hotter.

For the year 2023, Haaland has done remarkably well. He won the Champions League and the League
While Messi won the World Cup and the league. So they have 2 main big cups. WC is bigger than CL, so for trophies Messi already has the edge. Let's look at individual performances now.

Now hear my explanation:
Haaland was hotter all year round than Messi, no doubt about that. He had much numbers (esp. in terms of goals) but if you begin to consider goal contribution (G/A), you'd realise Messi is not even far behind.

Another thing you'd have to consider is Haaland is too much of a tap-in striker. He's just good in positioning and finishing but for real footballing qualities, Haaland doesn't excite. There is a kind of slick and flair that combines with efficacy to be Ballon D'or favourite. Haaland can't dribble. Haaland can't produce terrific passes, can't score freekicks, make quick short serial passes and interlink play. Like Haaland hardly ever wows the crowd until he scores a goal. He's not of the brand of strikers / attackers like Henry, De Lima, Suarez, Neymar, C Ronaldo etc. that have that extra spice and can do some of the aforementioned. He's only effective and that's where it ends. That shortens his Ballon D'or chances slightly in my opinion.

Finally, Haaland has no appearance in World Cup. If he had taken Norway to say semi-final of the World Cup or Quarter-final with some goals in it, or let me say semi-final, it would be hard to overlook him. You also have to note that Haaland's exceptional form in the league is similar to Messi's form in the WC. Messi scored crucial goals (although penalties like 3 or so), Messi made dribbles and produced assists that were highlights of the WC. These are the kind of things I mean when I say "having that extra spice". Things that evoke emotions. That Messi assist against Netherlands sticks to your brain so easily till now. His simple yet risky roll-in penalty against France in the shootout glues to the mind. As for Haaland, there is not much "wow" moments. And his form has kind of badly dropped for some time now, just like Messi's form. In fact, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Foden and Bernado Silva are significantly better and technically gifted players than Haaland, even on the same team. One could even argue Mahrez too. That's too many players on the team better than you.

Did you know that Haaland hardly ever touches the ball in a game? He goes missing for very long stretches of the game. Pls dont tell me he's doing his striker job. There are numerous strikers like Henry, Suarez, Torres, Villa, Forlan, Milito, even this Benzema sef that both score loads of goals and exert more influence in the game. Im sure you heard the commentator today right? That Haaland didn't have more than 10 touches first half or so.

For Haaland not to even make the World Cup at all, already writes him off.

The image below again shows the most recent update of the Ballon D'or win and it has changed slightly even further in favour of Messi. Imagine winning a whole Champions League (talking about Haaland now) and the odds dont even shift in his favour. That tells u what u need to know.

Them say any club wey Mourinho for don carry European cup say that team nor dey ever win European cup again. So do ur research

MrPOTUS:



Average player wey score over 50 goals in one season 🙄

TheSuperX:
No one can stop MESSI from winning his 8th Ballon d'or.

sweetman2022:

Who are superstars? Akanji, Ake, John stones, Walker, Dias, Alvarez or who. Please go back to school and learn the meaning of superstar..Olodo like you. The only world class players in Mancity is Kelvin Debryune. The rest are just good players and average. It is because they are playing with Pep, that's why you think they special. Is Stering, Jesus and Zinchenko superstars now that they have left Mancity? Please use your head very well next time

VawulentComrade:
Tell me why it wouldn't come in.

Gave Inter Milan handicap 2

You nailed it bro and I am 100% convinced that you watch , follow and understand football wella, not like those who only follow LiveScore on Nairaland and they will not allow us hear word with there dumb argument.

tesppidd:
Nice words..

But the biggest sham in ballon dor history was in 2013 when Ribery's award was stolen after FIFA reopened voting after it was already closed and allowed voters to change votes they had already casted.

2010 was controversial, 2013 was sham.
