#lewandoskirobbed. Assuming ronaldo was in Chelsea and also in the Italian team like Jorginho that won major trophies.. Would messi have won the balloon d'or? Or if he had scored more goals and humiliated messi's team in UCL. Would messi have won? Balloon d'or is trash. This is not the first time

Numbers don't Lai Mohammed ok. It speaks for itself. Messi is the greatest forever. Kudos to Lewan, he's a wonderful player that I love so much too. But even he knows that Messi is the greatest. Period!

Assuming?

OK. Let's also assume Messi had the agility of Ronaldo, eye for goal like Lewandowski, won the last UEFA Champions League and World Cup, scored all his goals by dribbling all the players and goal keepers every time, always won MOTM, scored 5 goals per game, scored all his goals from freekicks or open play... phew! I Don tire

Assuming he did all the above wouldn't he have still won it?

Stats were presented yet you choose assumptions.
