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 didn’t read past the sixth line of your post but everything Argentina did in that World Cup went through Messi. As I say, you don’t understand this on account of looking at football as something that can be totally quantified with statistics.

      Football can be quantified that’s the reason we have stats. And if it wasn’t for the refeere Messi would of have gone home against the Netherlands they didn’t have a smooth sailing so to speak.
