As simple as that. Johan Cruyff- “The ballon d’oris a bunch of journalists voting for their friends”
Yes of course he would, Messi is just better. He would have contributed way more than Haaland did (who contributed a hell of a lot) to City’s treble win. Football isnt G/A or Trophies won.
Also Messi has had Haaland’s season in 2018 and he finished 5th.
Seems odd though, Messi is the one who carries the team, unlike Haaland who gets carried.
Really carried PSG there. Remind me how many pens did Argentina get? I can’t remember.
France got 2 penalties in the WC final, and one of them was an absolute travesty. But you won’t mention that, would you?
Bc it had nothing to do with the comment…
You know why? Because -ability wise - Messi is much better than Haaland. If Haaland played with any other Premier league team, he would not have achieved anything.
Messi had ability for 3 weeks. Did fuck all the rest of the season. Put haaland in any other team other than man city and he still does better than Messi’s shit show at PSG. Messi without the help of the refs doesn’t win the world cup
Yeah Haaland never scored anything before coming to Man City.
I mean I understand Messi winning, he became WC, also (and no it’s not supposed to be like that) I understand votes for him to show massive respect for his insane career. But Haaland not achieving anything outside of City is just BS.
