We will never see another footballer like Messi. Messi is a special breed. He was simply created for the round leather game. He is more of a magician.

And considering how football has bn monitized, it will b impossible to see another Messi. Players of this generation re not passionate about the game but only concerned abt looking gud and making money. Players re now bigger than their managers, no discipline anymore.

Congrats to Messi. Wat a time to b a Fan of Messi.

So what's the point naming a meaningless useless no competition league trophy.

Useless FIFA setting useless record without remorse

Another fraud again just because this man is licking FIFA ass

I will just advise Messi to resign from football unless he desire to disgrace himself from now, since he left Barca he has been playing poorly

Even the world cup seems like a planned tournament just to prove a point by FIFA

They should ensure he collect next one in the no relegation league
you’ll cry till death…. U never see anything, this is the beginning, avoid Messi thread or get HBP….

Di Maria won the World Cup, yet it seems like nobody acknowledges his achievement now. With Messi, everyone is bringing up various arguments and conditions to justify his deserving of recognition.

Take a look at Erling Haaland's success in the English Premier League (EPL). Not even Mo Salah was able to achieve such a remarkable record. Haaland aims to break all of Ronaldo's goal and trophy records in a single season.

If you support Messi's victory, it's only fair to support * as well. It's important to use common sense even when you have hair on your head.
These award blike Nigerian elections.. I am a fan of Messi,but the politics is too much abeg.

Most?!! The only one I can concede should not have gone to him was the 7th one, which rightfully should have gone to Lewandoski.

That leaves 7 well deserved awards.

I stand to be corrected tho.

oh yea i understand bro, don’t mind me I Dey tease you ni.

Wonder!! you can say that again cos he makes impossible normal, and the bar is too high so tey when he had a bad performance critics drag him.

I’m just happy those chapters don close for life. I think the World Cup changed things, cos Leo can still play till 40 and in any competitive league. E go sweet if he went to man city, but he has won it all, zero motivation I understand and his decision…

Yeah Legend 🐐

I still wonder how Neymar failed to win just one Ballon d'Or all these years in Europe top leagues.

A repeat of the UCL for Haaland can earn him the Balon D'or this time. It's quite unfortunate that PSG can't win it.

It baffles me too wen I tink abt Neymar. Neymar was the architect of his own downfall. He prioritized money instead being under the tutelage of Messi in Barca. If Neymar had turned down the move to PSG and remained at Barca, I blif he would have won one or two Balon d'or.

Why?! Because of the goals he scored for Man City and Norway?!! Lol.

It doesn't begin and end with goals sir.

If it did, only Strikers will be winning it year in year out... People like Luka Modric would never have been considered for it.

Honestly, Mbappe should even win it if Messi wasn't to get it... Why?!! The young man singularly carried France on his young shoulders almost to world cup glory, and if France had won it, there would have been no contest.

Ballon d'Or is for players who play massive influence and lead their teams to glory all round.

That was why Fabio Cannavaro won it in 2006 instead of Thierry Henry who was an attacking legend. Why?!! He influenced and led Italy to world cup glory!
