I think even as of this date, Musiala is better than Bellingham. He deserved to win the Kopa trophy as well. Bellingham is rated higher than Musiala in the eyes of many people because he was on the transfer market recently, and there were many teams fighting to sign him.
Musiala beats Bellingham in many technical abilities, and I think he will outperform Bellingham in his prime.

I think PSG has over-inflated his salary. If he wants to play for some top club, he must be willing to take a massive pay cut, to avoid losing on good opportunities. That being said, I think the best place for him would be a top EPL club - like Liverpool or Arsenal.
So the trick is to concede first!
The injuries and suspensions they picked up in Chelsea game seems to be the inflection point.
That’s what I meant about the paid bots - downplaying Messi’s achievements (rigged, corrupted, easy, etc), and overplaying Ronaldo’s achievements (scoring 40 goals, but not mentioning the elite league he is playing in).
And assists is not the same as playmaking. Playmaking means controlling the flow of the game by setting up the tempo, creating spaces and chances, and movements that lead to a goal. Squaring off the ball to the next striker in the box is not playmaking.
The greatest career achievement of Ronaldo is he was considered being compared to Messi. I personally find it stupid, to compare 8 ballon d’or with 5, a tap in merchant to the best playmaker + best striker of all time. But the publicity (and paid bots maybe?) of Ronaldo managed to keep him in debate.
What type of question is this? It’s not 2017 anymore.
I played UCL finals… on xbox
Kalvin Phillips. Hands down.
There’s a reason he’s gonna be a starter in the Euros and he 100% deserves that spot.
We’ll see when the real games start, against teams like France, England, Germany, Spain, etc 😏
He is quite a reserved person and does not go around doing interviews just for the sake of increasing his popularity.
He knows that even after having an incredible season, there was a more deserving winner. He got his own deserved trophy thought - the Golden Boot.
He won WC but he wasn’t in form throughout whole season.
He had the highest number of G/A all season (tied with Haaland). Where did that come from? Did he score 62 G/A in the WC? Didn’t he win several league trophies as well?
managed the team from the sidelines
That’s a rather delusional thing to say!
It was a World Cup year, mate! This competition is given much more importance than UCL or League cup or any combination of these in the Ballon d’Or votings. Modric being the player of the tournament deserved the award in my opinion. Also, didn’t he win by double the votes as Ronaldo?
IMO, there are no undeserved Ballon d’Or winners. The way they vote for Ballon d’Or ensures that it is a democratic and diversified vote. You might say there are some biases for the World Cup or team achievements, but again, if hundreds of top journalists think that the bias is valid, I am all down for it.
Keep crying, mate! Messi won all those Ballon d’Or. Concluded all the forced debates that were going on. The one and only GOAT. Anyone else is a drop in the ocean before Messi.
I am sure Messi would be devastated when he reads your opinion. But the tears seem real. Be well.
Welcome to the club!
