Messi wins ballon d'or !!

[O4tonygreen]

I see that Lionel Messi has won the ballon d'or. Now I am one of his biggest fans and he has had a sensational career, but I don't think he deserves it this year. He hasn't really done much has he?

Lewandowski must be a bit miffed, and less glamorous players like Kante who helped Chelsea win the Champions league must be worth a mention. I see that Jorginho got 3rd, probably just by adding his teams contributions together (Italy & Chelsea)

It all seems a bit lazy to me

Was the award for best acting performance?

Did Ekpiteta come third ?

 

[Lytham_fy8]

It's bloody ridiculous really but I've never seen the point of these awards anyway, except in 1956.

 

[NewburyOne]

An absolute joke, I swear they'll find a way of giving him the award even when he's retired. What's wrong with recognising a player that isn't a forward?

Maybe it's all about the brand nowadays.

It's embarrassing when Messi himself said in his speech that Lewandowski should have won it last year - devalues the point of the trophy really when the winner says that. Who votes on this?

Journalists!

Obviously the world felt sorry for him when Barcelona said adios and he had to move to PSG on only £500,000 a week.

 

[Wizaard]

To be fair, the win puts the argument to bed over who's the better player between him and Ronaldo...

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

Disgraceful Robert Lewandowski didn't win it.

2020: 47 goals in 44 matches
2021: 64 goals in 54 matches

Well done Lionel!!!

 

[Lewis_Winthorpe]

Ridiculous decision. Messi hasn't set the world alight at PSG.

On a side note, Ronaldo higher up than Salah in the last 12 months? Really?

It's all about the brand!

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Absolute joke.

Ronnie and Messi are the Ant & Dec of football awards.

Should’ve gone to Madine imho
