Robbed haaland
Deserved. An unreal world cup with the golden ball and 20 goals/20 assists at club level.
In another universe two Barca players would be Balon D’Or winners again
Imagine the reception Messi would have had at the Camp Nou after the World Cup win
Let’s he honest, Messi would get the same heroes reception if he walked in Camp Nou in a Miami jersey tomorrow.
Not bigger than Argentina
When the new Nou Camp reopens i’m still praying the first game is a farewell for Messi, whether it’s in Barca or Miami colours doesn’t matter.
Bro wasn’t even the player in his own club or the World Cup
Lmao
Anyone who thought Haaland had a chance after Messi won the world cup was simply a crazed CR7 fan or just living in denial…no surprise here
Disgusting bully behavior by those not promoting discussion, while only accusing other people of crying for stating an opinion which is largely shared among many.
This sub is toxic.
Cry lmao the goat won
It always has been toxic with any discussion involving Messi or Ronaldo, remember that most people here are kids
Eveywhere is toxic in twitter and reddit Stop crying Your idol Pendu is irrelevant and wont be remembered
You just proved his point.
Messi/Ronaldo posts turn the place into a pre school unfortunately
But it’s not even a dichotomy between the two, it’s just low bully behavior which shuts down any discussion done by probably kids who have no people to talk to.
It’s a shame that the most used subreddit about football is populated by keyboard bullies, and mods who don’t do their job properly and only ban/strike/warn those who disagree with the general narrative.
Never heard of bonmati, were they at the World Cup?
Yes. She won the Golden Ball.
Yeah, she won the Golden Ball.
Ah I guess I’m just dumb then
She was on the Spain team
Deservedly.
Haaland or De Bruyne will get it. As long as Ronaldo is in Arabia they won’t give it to Messi. Ronaldo has too much power rn. Messi deserved it by a mile.
Rodri deserves it if not for the fact that he is the engine for City! Without him, the team pretty much crumbles .
And besides it’s high time someone else got it other than Messi or Ronaldo. Getting boring now
The GOAT. Cry about it.
Ballon d’Or lost its value
Facts. Messi ain’t bad either
Easiest and most deserved choice to give it to Aitana.
A completely bonkers year where she won everything possible and was the most important player for both her club and country.
Always loved his surname, the translation in catalan us Aitana Goodmorning
Alessandro Buongiorno should step up and win the next Bd’Or
Aitana
You really care about a sport which level is equivalent to 14 yo amateur boys?
She was phenomenal at the WC.
The Women’s World Cup was such a joy and she was absolutely insane throughout it. Genuinely one of my favourite players now
Barcelona’s (and Spain’s) golden age. Long may they reign.
Damn straight (unless Spain is playing Australia)
Men’s team looks promising too. If the coach does the bare minimum I can see Spain dominating both club and international football again.
she was the one that scored for Spain in the world cup final right
No, that was Olga Carmona (their left back)
Fully deserved, an all time performance in the WC where he dragged Argentina from the group stage to lift the cup. Also 20+ goals and 20+ assists in club level is also overlooked, he was very essential especially in the first half of the season
People act like he did nothing at club level, he only got something like 41G+A in 41 games. 🙄
Honestly, Messi has such a big Cult of Personality around him, it’s hard not to give it to him.
Even his fucking teammates buy into it.
First ballon d’or for player playing outside of europe
He won in large part for his play in Qatar. wonder id they’ll claim it in tourism ads…
Because of course it’s his games since august who clenched the ballon d’or…
This is really a strange way to frame things.
Obviously his leagues cup performance sealed duh
They changed the rules to be by season so it’s for his time at psg
It actually also includes two matches from Leagues cup.
Clinched, unless he was massaging it internally with the muscles of his anal canal. In which case, carry on.
