Messi didn't deserve this award since fifa the best is for best performer of 2023 which Messi wasn't among. If not Argentina coach should have been the best coach, mertinez best keeper. All because they want to give Messi award they made captain the tie break. Why not coaches? Blind fans want to tell me Messi did better than haaland in 2023 abi. Next year they will give him fifa best again and till point back to the world cup that was 2022.

Please how old are you and which primary school did you attend? Don't you understand what is called "VOTING SYSTEM" ?

See d way ur stupidity dey on full voltage....
Good players r in Europe cos the pay is better..
Brazilians, Mexicans, Argentines, Africans all go there for greener pasture n nothing ekse...

If Saudi can maintain their current high pay, People will abandon Europe.. Stop promoting stupid argument.
Ask the likes of Garry Nevile who started panicking cos they fully understood the handwriting.

Currently, the best player in the world is not in Europe.. He is not even a European n u r there talking nonsense. .

Some of Africa's best players like Mahrez n Mane are no longer in Europe n u r foolishly saying Europe is the only place for football.

Ruled, ruler, measurement tape.

It was voted for by coaches, captains journalists et al.
Messi n Haaland got equal votes... Wen this happens, according to FIFA, a tie breaker is used.
The person with d higher votes from his fellow footballers (in this case captains) wins.
It shows that his fellow players kno who their king is..

pls help check on Ronaldo n his sister.
...but did those people that voted not see that messi did not perform much in 2023 than haaland that played well , scored goals and won 3 trophies
Re: Leo Messi Does It Again by ufotunang: 11:45pm On Jan 16
Haaland supposed to win the FIFA 2023 best ..this is cheating
Re: Leo Messi Does It Again by ufotunang: 11:48pm On Jan 16
Beverlyjean:


But the Argentine coach that won the world cup wasn't even nominated for coach of the year....
..the FIFA award was for 2023 not 2022
Re: Leo Messi Does It Again by ufotunang: 11:52pm On Jan 16
yinkabeauty:
Messi won on tie - breakers , he and Halaand were tied on 48 points but Messi won because his votes came more from team captains and fans , so says the report, while that of Halaand came from managers.

The rule has been there even before the award.

Congratulations to the winner, anyway i.e
Lionel Messi.
..so the FIFA award was not based on the players performance abi?... because Messi did not perform much than what haaland performed and achieved in 2023

You can ask those who voted.

I think Messi also won 3, aside d world cup.
2 with psg and 1 with Inter Miami.
He also did better at international level than Haaland within the year. He scored goals and got so many man of the match awards.
Compare that to Haaland who just scored goals for clubs.
The captains Messi showed pepper voted.
They recognize greatness.
