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
Who told you these are the criteria?
Individual performance in the previous season (no longer by calendar year). Team success during the previous season. Player behavior and fair play during the season
