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
This is the laziest analysis I’ve seen it’s borderline impressive, it’s like you don’t even like football
The first criteria for a ballon dor is best player on your team, something neither xavi nor iniesta were (nobody would dispute this)
For some reason you left out the fact that Messi and haaland had very similar g/a, even if you’ve gone for the laziest idea that most g/a = best
