Allez PSG💙❤️🍾
Let the crying begin
Totally unexpected. Caught me off guard.
Initially I saw the 4 in the top left beside Haaland with Messi adjacent and thought wtf is going on
Kaka winning it before Messi’s and Ronaldo’s dominance vibes almost
i wonder what it would take for rodri to win it, one of the best dm performances I’ve seen over a season, scored at all the crucial moments
The Goat strikes again
Well, it certainly was not a surprise, was it?
Surprise? No.
The wrong decision? Yes.
The world cup needs to have a separate award because Haaland could not do more to deserve the award except be born from a more prominent footballing nation.
It’s almost like this whole thing is just a soccer circle jerk.
I think he also needs to have a significantly better season than his competition. Not marginally.
Messi had comparable XGI. And just like Haanland, he also won the league.
It’s the rest of the trophies that made the difference.
They have. Golden ball and silver ball.
Let’s give this on to haaland and strip Modric of the one he won. By your logic Messi would still end up with 8 balón d or.
Why would Messi win the ballon d’or in the year Modric won?
Modric won, not just because he had good performances, but Madrid won the UCL and Croatia reached the final.
Messi may have been ‘better’, but his teams did not do well in the UCL or World Cup. Knocked out in UCL and World Cup in the Quarter Finals.
I disagree. It’s not so much winning the World Cup as how he won it. Losing to Saudis game one. What a comeback. He is a complete player who inspired his entire team to be their absolute best. El Capitan.
Haaland is not a complete player. I know he scored goals but he just happens to be a huge dude who runs forward and his teammates give him amazing assists.
Messi is very much a complete player. The goals. The assists. The dribbling. The leadership. The inspiration. Which can you name?
Very much the right decision. The others will get their turn.
I think Messi deserved it. It’s not just being a participant for being a world cup winner but the manner in which he won it. The leadership, the dribbling, the playmaking, the heart. If anything came short Argentina would have lost. He had that much pressure on him
Born in fucking Leeds, United Kingdom
Every other year you’d be as well calling it the award for best player in the team that won the champions league
MLS Player has won it!
Lmao.
Carles Gil next year confirmed.
GOAT
love the tears
To all the crybabies: “Yes, yes let the hate flow through you.”
An MLS player has won Ballon D’Or, and people say it is a farmers league
French newspaper that votes. Not exactly the biggest fans of the EPL. Especially with Beckham throwing his Qatar money at them
In the US we subsidize ballon d’or’s as much as we subsidize corn.
An legend that played his entire career in Europe moved to MLS for a payday… can’t take the credit there.
A man who was not first or second best player for PSG. Was not in the top 5 players of his own national team. Invisible all WC(yes, invisible, dont count the penalties that werent even won by him). PSG, there were better players than him. Clubs in general, better players than him. Its a joke
No way Inter Miami have a Ballon D’or before Spurs and Chelsea
