Yeah just comparable G/A between Messi and Haaland. Messi with more man of the matches. More chances created. More key passes. Both won their league. Both won their domestic cup. Haaland won a UCL with a super team and he ghosted in the finals. Messi won the World Cup while being the difference in EVERY match. Total popularity contest. Messi should have never been invited

I hate life time achievement awards being given for yearly honours.
And if the WC is so important why didn't Iniesta win in 2010? Or Sneijder/Robben even make the final?

Simple. Messi was a better footballer that year. Just like he was better than Haaland this time.

I think the Messi is the GOAT, but it's pretty silly using this to equate them their club seasons.

It is, but it's also just as silly to discount how much Messi left his imprint on the 2022 World Cup.

Nobody is disputing he should have won the World Cup golden ball.

Ok, well the best player in the World Cup and best player in Ligue Un has quite the claim for the ballon d'or.
Maybe Haaland should've won it, but to act like he was robbed is a hilarious take.

Anyone who didn’t vote EH 1st should never be allowed to vote again.

You're trying too hard Randy

I'm not even sure he was the best player in Ligue Un last year.

My brother in christ. You realize Haaland just reset the PL scoring record, CL leading scorer, 50+ goals for the season, Won the CL, PL, FA cup. Sorry but your logic is flawed and you can't take off your messi rose tinted glasses. You messi/ronaldo superfan types are insufferable.
"The difference in every match" yea from the penalty spot.

Messi was on quite literally a super team and he couldn't get past the round of 16 in the CL?

When? PSG was never a super team

The roster they had the past two years yes was a super team, they just didn't want to work hard. Any side that has Mbappe and Messi in the same lineup automatically qualifies as a super team.

Lol, yea not sure how Messi has been able to manage with the scrubs he's had to play with throughout his career.

This year it was given to him as like a lifetime achievement
Outside of a few matches in the WC
Nothing he did the last year warranted winning the award

Brazil’s president Lula RIPPED into his countrymen using Messi as an example…

O Messi deveria servir de exemplo aos jogadores brasileiros. O cara com 36 anos, campeão do mundo, com Bola de Ouro e tudo. O Messi precisa ser inspiração de dedicação para essa molecada. Quem quiser ganhar Bola de Ouro tem que se dedicar, tem que ser profissional. Não combina com farra, não combina com noitada.

He wasn’t the best player on Argentina during the WC? What?
