Let Messi score hand of God too na... Or probably a penalty to win international trophy for his country... Right now Maradona and Kempes are more respected
Giroud and Griezman are more respected than Ribery and Pappin too!!!

But that will never make Giroud or Griezman to be nearly as good as Ribery or Pappin !!!

Maradona is only at Thomas Muller's level!!!

Messi is far better than Maradona and Kempes combined!!

Read about the corruption involved in Argentina 1978 World cup win before you praise Kempes tho undecided

He may be the greatest National team player..

But Messi is the greatest Football player of all time!!!!

Maradona is just a one world cup wonder and a Napoli's Mahrez!!!

Messi is far better than him as a player!!!

It's like comparing Griezman with Pappin!!!

Griezman may win the World cup but Pappin is far better!!!
Greatest in one shirt. Keep deceiving yourself, you don vote am yourself

Losing four finals at international level, no ballondior holder had that foolish record except messi, his ballondior is questionable, e no hold water na fake. Others cant lose three nations cup finals , it's only possible with messi, cus he has no magic. He makes the award looks shameful

He is the best ever in the history of football!!

Argetine Aiyegbeni is just his nemesis!!!

Ballon d'or is just a tip of iceberg for Messi!!!!

More awards are loading for him cool

Ballon d'or is an individual award...

Other players can keep hiding under team Trophies!!

Deco won the 2004 UCL, guess who won the Ballon d'or?? Schevchenko!!

Why? Because he is the best of that year!!!!

Why are you jealous of Messi achievement?? He is the GOAT of Ballon d'or

The only player in history to win the most prestigious individual award in the Pre VAR era and VAR era!!!

That is called "Greatest of all era" grin

Stop hiding messi under higuain being aigbeni, was he not on the field. Again was messi the best player 2010 wc. Even 2014 he stole from dimaria. In copa he had the most game n never even won golden boot at the tournament. Fifa best is bigger than ballondior. And cr7 has more.

Best in Europe too??

Are you saying George Weah was the best in Europe in 1995?? but not best in the World??

Make that argument for a player like Michael's Owen..

And not for Messi who won 4 Consecutive FIFA Ballon d'or

Won FIFA World best player award in 2015 and won another FIFA the best in 2019!!!

You can't touch the 'best ever' with this your argument which is only suited for Michael Owen !!!

With the best player award in all types of competiton he has played in Argentina shirt, Messi never hides!!!
Argentine Aiyegbeni is well known among AC Milan, Chelsea and Juventus fans .. May be you should ask them about his 'greatness' undecided

From Bastituta to Higuain.

Sorry Messi,. You played in an era when Argetina is stuck with Aiyegbeni as a number 1 striker!!!

The award was introduced in 2006 .. And was won by the great Zizou that year!!

If all the players you mentioned never won it, may be they are not good enough for the award in 2006 onward!!!

Zizou, Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and Modric have won it!!

These are world class Playmakers sice the award introduced!!

I see KDB winning the next!!
.it is an award for "World best playmaker", and not just for mere Playmakers.. You have to be the absolute best to win it!!!


Argentina Aiyegbeni is not only blamed for Argentina loss...
He is blame for his disaster class in AC Milan and Chelsea too..

Also blame for his inhibitory roles in Juventus too!!!

If Higuain stay long enough in Juventus, Cristiano will enjoy his class too grin
Like they didn't play together at Madrid, messi is just a loser, cr7 is da best, won laliga with higuain, n some other trophies. Messi na bad luck otu. This same higuain won trophies with juve ooo

They are not countrymen.
Madrid can afford to buy another player to support Higuain deficiencies.
Stop comparing that to being stuck with Argentine Aiyegbeni for life!!

How come Higuain left Madrid, if he Cristiano was good with him.. How many Ballon d'ors did Cristiano win playing with Higuain??

I hope Higuain can continue to play in Juventus for many seasons tho.

I will like to prove your theory right.
4 more Seasons in Juventus!!

Long live Higuain, Long live Sarriball!!

Which of them has Aiyegbeni as a striker?!

Please Remove Cristiano from that list, he was injured in the final when Eder was winning the trophy for Portugal
He was carried by Bernaldo and Guedes in the UNL final too

He lost the final of 2004 Euro too despite having many good strikers as teammates!!

Eder is Cristiano international career SAVIOUR!!!
