Messi went from being compared with Ronaldo and Kaka to Haaland and Mbappe. Crazy that.

Haaland + 18 goals

Messi + 15 assists

Net goal contribution of Haaland is just merely 3 compared to Messi

Messi carried Argentina to the holy grail of the World Cup trophy at 36 years old

Without a doubt he deserved the Ballon D’or, how are people saying Haaland deserves it instead?

Man City has 5 players in the top 10 of the Ballon D’or, the team is stacked, winning the treble was a collective effort not solely relying on Haaland

Messi carried the Argentina team to the World Cup, a greater display of individuality, which is what the Ballon D’or celebrates, which is bullshit really, since football is a team sport.

But that’s another whole topic altogether.

Messi deservedly won the Ballon D’or over Haaland.
