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
I’ve always believed that they exclude English clubs from this. My prediction is that Jude Bellingham will be the next English player to win it simply because he plays for Madrid.
