2010:
- Messi 60 G/A
- Xavi & Iniesta: World Cup Winners
- Ballon D’or Winner: Messi
2023:
- Haaland: 71 G/A + Treble
- Messi: World Cup Winner
- Ballon D’or Winner: Messi
I always insisted that Messi deserved 2010 Ballon D’or but at this point it’s a joke. Haaland deserved this one. Better numbers than Messi during the 2022/2023 season but they give it to Messi for a 7 games display when they got 5 penalties in 7 games
Mbappé was clearly the best player in PSG and carried the team to win the league mostly by himself. Literally played the best football by FAR in the World Cup, especially in the final.
If Messi is going to win it because of PSG and WC, Mbappé is more deserving.
However, I still believe Haaland was robbed the same way Lewandowski was robbed 2021.
