What about FIFA Ballon d'or??
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 !!!
Michael own was never the best in the world, fifa is the world body for football, reason na. Ballondior is French award, even ucl best better pass am. Balliondior was voted by journalists, fifa best is the strongest.
George woah won both ballondior n fifa. You no sabi anything pass messi. The award was corrupted more when messi wins from 2010. We all read how Blatter n platini does it even for your barca.

He has to qualify for those finals first!!

May be he would have won at least 1 Ballon d'or if he made 4 finals with Italy!!!
When Argentina was qualifying for final wc ,higuain no play

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!!!
Did Ronaldo start the finals, if yes , messi should get himself injured too to win am. Again eder na Portuguese player, it normal he comes in. Was Portugal loosing before cr7 injured, no, mr you go just kee yoursef. Cr7 better than messi by far, even his influence from outside still win games. So... aguero , milito,Tevezna otu,
And these guys wins trophies n finals with other teams even higuain you dey shout up n down wins trophies with other teams, cus messi cant win trophies apart from playing on barca shirt. He is the bad player here even couldn't make dybala do well. The guy na bad player

Aguero, Tevez,milito nko
Why villa, zlatan,Sanchez, neymar comot
How many Ballon d'ors has Villa, Zlatan, Sanchez, Neymar won before and after Messi??

Messi made Neymar a Ballon d'or material cool

Only Zlatan and Villa was known before they joined Messi but they were never good enough to win the Ballon d'or!! But they were Top 6 at their best!!

Sanchez?? Who watched him in Udinese??

Playing with Messi increased his profile!!

Not everyone can stay in Barcelona for a long time.you have to be among the best ever and young too!!!

Stop all these jealousy!!

Maldini, Del Piero, Totti , Raul Pele spent more than 18 seasons with their academy club.

Is it because Messi is the most successful?!

Or because he is the best of all time??

If winning many Ballon d'ors as a one club player is easy, ask Raul grin cheesy

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!!!
A player that played 4 out of the four major club leagues n was named best is what you call hiding in a final, playing with different team mates and still come out tall, bros, na your mouth I first hear say player hide play finals, when no be boxing, my brother just stop watch football , I beg no argue for viewing centers , dem go use plank shape n set your brain.

What's your yardstick for someone being the GOAT and I'm not talking about Greatest team of all time...you're talking about trophies, so Pedro that's won both the WC and UCL can be called the GOAT, same with Varane who even won both trophies in a year is a GOAT too?
