I have asked this question so many times yet not a single Haaland (or CR7) fangirl has answered: Apart from goalscoring, why does Haaland deserve the ballon d'Or?

A lot of People seem to forget how much importance France Football gives to World Cup and UCL performance in the FINAL,Haaland could've made the race tighter if he at LEAST made a single assist, but ghosting literally ALL FINALS with zero goals and assists, 10 touches ,While Messi made a CLUTCH performance with 2 goals at the biggest stage of football deals Messi is the favorite

Fun Fact: Did you know that Messi is the first player since the great Romario 🇧🇷 to have won the world cup and golden ball in the same edition of the same tournament.

Messi should win the balon dor....very right

Ballon d or to MLS is mad💀

To be honest, if Messi had only scored the 3 open play goals, his performance would still have been by far the highlight of the world cup. Nobody cares about the penalties he scored - when he had the ball at his feet, he was unstoppable. Produced the greatest individual displays against Croatia etc, produced the greatest passes, the wondergoal against Mexico where he singlehandedly lifted Argentina out of their turmoil. No other player this season has had such an inspirational performance in any competition today. Put it this way - if the world cup had happened NOW (in June) in exactly the same way - absolutely nobody would bat an eye about who should win it. The guy was possessed by Maradona. Argentina would straight up have been knocked out with ease without him.

Then GOAT will win his 8th Balon D'Or🐐

For me Messi will always be the GOAT no matter wat anyone does bt winning the treble and scoring 52 goals a season iin your first season in the most competitive league does make you the best player of that season

The Golden Boot is for the top goal scorer, and Haaland deserves it, but that's not the same as being the best player. Haaland was a non-factor in the biggest matches for City, and without Gundogan & Rodri rescuing them in the FA Cup & UCL finals there would have been no treble. Messi carried Argentina to the World Cup title, and he was the highest rated player not only for PSG and in Ligue 1, but also across all of the top 5 leagues by a large margin. With the titles at stake, Messi carried his teammates, and Haaland's teammates carried him. There is no question that Messi deserves the Ballon d'Or.

Haaland ghosted in important games this season. He didn't show up in the semifinals against Madrid, he didn't show up in the FA cup which led to a treble. (if Gundogan doesn't score those two goals out of thin air we wouldn't be having a conversation about a treble winning side), and he had a horrible game in the final against Inter. He is the only pure strike in that team, to go missing for those important games is not acceptable. Goals doesn't equal a Ballond'or and that is why they have the golden boot as well. Messi was THE most important player in that team and was almost dragging them through every round with playmaking, assists and goals. If it wasn't for him who knows if Argentina would of even gotten through the group stage.

For people whoever says Messi only scored penalties in the World cup, just accept that you only watched the highlights of all the games!

guys 3 more things- -Historically, in a WC year, the WC is given priority as compared to other achievements in case of the ballon d'or, so it does favour Messi here(especially since he was the best player at that world cup too). -Haaland has the most big chances missed by a mile in the top 5 leagues, which is a real shame for a striker(im not saying he's bad, but many players would have been able to achieve the same goal tally that haaland did with that man city team). -Messi won MOTM in EVERY SINGLE STAGE of the World Cup, now thats just unheard of and coming from a 35 year old its almost unbelievable. most important thing for everyone to remember is that the ballon d'or is given for the best player, and not the top goalscorer and Messi has, in my humble opinion, edged out haaland there.

To everyone saying Haaland deserves to win this year.. Ballond'or is given to the best player in a particular year. Trophies do play an important role, but it's based on the overall performance of the player. If Haaland deserves the ballond'or then he should've excelled in every field for eg, goals, assists ,dribbling, playmaking, etc.. he's gotta be the standout player of the team. In this case he wasn't, he bagged a shitload amount of goals for a debut season which is impressive, but he isn't even that influential (like De Bruyne, Gündoğan for instance) even in his absence the team thrives. Whereas Messi on the other hand still managed to get 50+ G/A (without friendlies), and excel in every other field, 4 MOTM in WC, that's what makes him the better player. It's somewhat like the 2021 ballond'or , Lewa only had more goals than Messi other than that he was nowhere close to his quality. Haaland with UCL, FA cup, Premiere League and Messi with WC, French Ligue still Messi has an edge with the WC. This will be a close call, either of them can win.

Imagine if messi won epl,fa cup and champion legue with epl golden boot,ucl golden boot and European golden boot and other player won world cup with messi stat I'm sure messi would given a goat tag and balond'or. popularity of messi always favouring him. Messi has incredible wc performance but whole season, he isn't that sharp. I honestly can say haaland fully deserves balond'or

Messi was the best with psg and Argentina 🇦🇷

If we use those concepts, Alveres should win the ballon dor

Messi can score goals in his backyard, and his fans will still say his worthy of winning the balon dor

Messi should win for sure

This will be Lewandowski all over again. I hope for Messi's sake he doesn't win it, because it will devalue his previous ones.

2010 Ballon d'Or Messi ended the 2009/10 season with 47 goals across all competitions, his best-ever single-season tally at the time which also included 34 league goals in 35 games to help Barcelona win the La Liga title with 99 points. Whereas messi failed to score in 2010 World Cup. 🤷‍♂️

More than 100000%messi deserve it!!!

Winning treble is just as hard as winning world cup though

Messi truly deserved the Ballondor

Messi THE KING OF FOOTBALL ALL TIME

Messi showed in his latest match what he is capable of. PSG was never a team. Halland needs to wait for another year for ballon d’e ore!

Nooo!!!!! Sergio Aguero should be the ballon d'or winner My man has won trebel with man city, La Liga with Barcelona & World Cup with Argentina🗿

King Messi always great and humble he deserves to win Balloon D'OR 2023

Messi🥇😍

Messi will get it also this time 🎉🎉🎉

Do you fancy Leo Messi or Erling Haaland for the Ballon d’Or?

So y’all why did LUKA MODRIC win it .. I’m a Messi fan but if they give to messi it’d be a real scam .. Debut season and man’s been outrageous .. HALLAND should be given the bd’or already .. plus had it been Messi’s debut season we the messi fans would’ve gone wild saying it’s Messi’s debut season and he’s done all these .. c’mon guys .. Halland deserves it more ..

Messi is the best

Wow man keep up what your doing❤❤

Let's change Messi mind retiring in the next word cup🏆 because noone is better than him no one can much Messi

Messi 8 ballor dor loading….

By this logic Alvarez should win Because he has world cup and treble

Hello your the best youtubers

Messi

Messi the King 👑

oh my goal meat riding again c'mon mann

Leo Messi Deserves It

"The world cup is the only missing trophy in Messi's Cabinet" Puskas:Am I a Joke to you??

Messi the best 🔥

Of course it has to be GOAT 🐐🐐 Himself "MESSI"

Watching again after 4 years this channel 😅

Why didn’t Mbappe or Neuer win the Balón D’Or when they won the World Cup in the past but when Messi wins it, he’s considered to win it?

I appreciate what Halland did this year But look what Messi achieved this time every award being the main man

Haland the top scorer of the champions league and premier league

Y'all just love Messi

The debate can rage on but I hope Messi wins it and if not, I am truly happy to see Messi play a magical season and win the trophy I wanted him to lift ever since 2014

ballon d'or this things matter: individual awards, teams trophies, stats (overall and not just goals), big games, a player's career. 1. individual awards: messi: wc golden ball, wc silver boot, wc best assistant, fifa best, fifa best playmaker, national best scorer, laurus award, franch super cup mvp, league 1 mvp (deserved) haaland: pl mvp, pl best scorer, pl young player of the year, golden boot, cl best scorer sum: messi wins 2: team trophies: messi: world cup, league 1, franch super cup haaland: pl, cl, fa cup sum: tie/messi (due to the wc season and as wc is better than cl but pl and fa are better that franch staff, it's tie and still more on the messi's side, cause of wc is on top) 3. stats: messi: 38 goals and 25 assists - 63 g/a 10 contributions on wc - which was the most he was the best assistant and the second best scorer on wc, he was the best playmaker and had the best rating with the most motms on wc so he simply dominated the wc with the argentina which was ridiculed until they won in top 5 he was the only player with vini who scored 20+ and assisted 20+ in top 5 he was the best assistant, the best dribbler, the best rated player, had the most motms he played less on cl but still scored 4 and assisted 4, also got 3 motms haaland: 53 goals and 9 assists - 62 g/a scored the most in europe scored the most on cl he made it in a better league, yes, but france still is in top 5 and there's not as much big difference as people try to provoke, even more when city won pl for 5 times in 6 seasons, they were the previous winners, they also played in cl semis for all this time, they played once in the final..so all this means that they were dominating the world before haaland and everything is better with such team, while we can't compare that team to psg, like lets start with the coaches, one is coached by the genious, who's in all time bests and another by - farmer galtier. one has the best diffense with diaz, ake, walker and etc, while another has old ramos, overated marcinios and bitchiabu (wtf), one has the best midfield with kdb, rodri, stones, gundo and another has old veratti, vitinia, ruis and danilo, one has griliesh, foden, bernardo and another mbappe, injured naymar and ekitike. so pls don't make psg the best team cause there is mbappe, only mbappe is not a "team", if u know football, u know that the game is decided by the midfield so see the real differences. also let's look at their records too cause it's one of the main parts of the game messi: set 10+records on wc, such as becoming the best contributor of wc, becoming the best assistant of wc, scoring in all wc stages, having the most caps, motms, ky passes and etc.. also he became the most decorated player in history, he became the best scorer in europe, he became the best scorer internationally who scored the most int goals in a year, he won another playmaker award which made him the best playmaker in history and etc.. haaland: scored the most pl goals in a year, Fastest player in Premier League history to three league hat-tricks, scored 5 goals in a single cl match (tied to messi) sum: by overall stats messi wins 4. big games: messi: he had the most of his big games on wc - we all know what happened he had the big games against bayern and he was bad but still the best with ramos from his team (still zero) on the super cup he scored and became the mvp on league winning game he scored and got his team the trophy haaland: he had the most big games on cl: against bayern, madrid and inter - and he floped in all of them. (yes he may scored against bayern, but in the end when it didn't matter and his team was destorying its opponent without him) he had big game on fa cup and he again floped there too he had big game against arsenal - he wasn't bad but still kdb was the mvp of that match sum: messi definitely wins hear (haaland floped in most of his big games) 5. player's career that was added to the ballon d'or recently and it consists player's whole career, like his reputation and achievements so without any explanation messi wins hear too overall as u can see messi wins in all this statements, so he clearly will win the ballon d'or too.

Messi is million miles ahead of Haland interms of skill, vision, talent, play making and leadership. Interms of apperance, the haters think UEFA Champions Trophy is bigger and heavier than the World Cup but in reality is UCL 40% more hollow, 60% lighter, 90% less expensive than the WC in the view of metal experts.😂 To win and lift the trophy, you need to be extraterrestrial and godly 💕.

Completely biased, football is more than just stats and Messi was a shadow of his former self this season. Most of his (and therefore, Argentina) goals on the WC were penalty kicks and won by his teammates. Messi disappeared until the whistle sounded to take the penalty. I love Messi's style of play and everything he has ever accomplished, but he doesn't deserve the Ballon D'Or this season, and this video is just pure propaganda from a Messi Fan Boy. Expected more from this chanell tbh

Messi has already won it on 18-12-2022, lets talk about 2024

This is why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique

i personally dont like haaland that much and prefer mbappe over him but this is outrageous, treble + goals everywhere, yes he ghosted in big games but the numbers speak themselves, im a manutd fan saying that

Messi must be given Ballon d'or because he scored 5 great Penalty Goals in World Cup and won Ligue 1, which is the Best League in the World.

Even with these Haaland scores 53 in champions league and prem the hardest league even though he didn't do that well in big matches he's 22 and still young and if Messi wins it will be an awful decision from France football

There's nothing to argue, just go through the stats (g+a), other stats like chances created, dribbles..... and trophies. Messi is clear. Simple as that 🔥

Haaland deserves to win it. Messi robbed 3 players of ballon dor without winning a UCL or an international trophy himself but simply because he's Messi. He has fanboys in media that'll vote for him no matter what. Haaland may have tapered off towards the end of the season but he broke several records and won the Treble, Messi winning it because he scored several penalties in a month long tournament is outrageous. He already won Fifa best and WC golden ball I think that should be enough for him

I feel like the Ballon dor is always going to the player who has the most hype. That's the only consistent factor i see. I feel like if it's about winning it should go to Alvarez (World Cup, Treple) if it's about Goals it should go to Haaland (top scorer PL and CL) and if it's about individuall performance it should be Messi (De Bruyne is pretty close but i think the insane World Cup performance gives Messi the edge). I thought the Ballor Dor will go to Messi but now that he goes to the MLS I'm pretty sure Haaland will win it because he gained a lot of hype by winning CL and Messi will lose a lot by going to the MLS. I personally would give it to De Bruyne because even though i said Messi before because World Cup i feel like a player who plays his "second half" in the MLS should not win the Ballon Dor. But i think Haaland winning it will be more likely.

They may give it to Halaand to begin a new era and rivalry of food 😂😂😂

How interesting thisight be, does Oh my goal even realise that barely anybody lijes their vids nowadays with the robot voice?

Julian Alvarez should win it

because it's by whatever voters pick, just ask Ribery and Sneijder

If the trophies and goals by Messi and Haaland are swapped, will you think the Champions League and the league are more important?

Entire world was behind messi in last world cup. Who can forget that. He single handled argentina to historic glory. No player ever close to such greatness.

Messi of course

The G.O.A.T Messi🐐 deserve the ballon d'or

"Parc Depressed" 💀😂

#LM8 is inevitable

Obviously, ballon d’or is about voting for your favourite player instead of vote who is the best.

So why y’all didn’t give Jorginho the ballondor when he won euros an champions league, he played a big part an Messi had only won copa America , but y’all still give Messi . Yes Messi won World Cup but the best player is haaland

If Messi wins another ballon d'or I'm never watching football ever again like never

bro ik Messi in Wc of that did very well but in terms of the overall season Haaland Def deserve it winning a treble at his first season break all the record i meant what more could you ask for haaland huh? People say messi more complete help the team welp where is psg in Cl ... And winning Ligue1 great totally the best league in the world.

its simple if Hallard would have scored on the most important games then it was going to be a debate. FA cup and UCL but unfortunately the discussion is over.

Álvarez won the World Cup and the Champions League

This year for me is Halaand

Make a video saying Why haaland will win the baland'or over messi

Haaland began and continued the season with a bang but ended it with a low. After all the terrifying scoring, when defences figured him out and became watertight against him he became powerless and scored just a solitary (01) goal in his last 8 games of the season. Messi in the face of such blockades would almost always be able to find a way to break through and make a goal contribution. In addition to his impressive goal record for PSG, I could argue that he won Ligue 1 for them, considering all his assists and also his goal that earned a draw that led to them clinching the trophy. On the other hand, Haaland disappeared from the most crucial games of the season: the two semi-final matches and the finals of the UCL as well as the FA Cup finals. Messi and PSG may have performed dismally in the UCL but at least they participated and reached the round of 16. Compare that with Haaland being completely absent and inexistent from the greatest of competitions (the World Cup), moreover one where Messi was a beast! Messi also boasts a good record in his 7 UCL matches played. Haaland doesn't create anything special and only managed to achieve what he achieved thanks to a very good team and a prolific coach surrounding him. Messi has much greater impact on his teams and is capable of carrying them, but the same cannot be said of Haaland, who is dominantly a goalscorer whereas Messi is much more. I bet you Messi's PSG this season would hardly have dreamt of achieving what they achieved without him, whereas Haaland's Manchester City would still have been sure of winning even without him, though he greatly boosts the team's goalscoring record. Apart from goals - all Haaland's achievements are tied exclusively to goals - Messi outclasses Haaland in almost all other performance aspects and details. The age factor vis-a-vis performance also lends more credit to Messi. No disrespect to Haaland; he's prolific in every sense of the word, I'm so proud of him and wish him the very best in his career as he's still very young and has much to achieve ahead of him. There's no way anyone in his right senses would overlook his uncommon goal record and accompanying accolades as well as team trophies in 2022/2023. But I reckon that the same reason Cristiano Ronaldo could never ever compare to Messi is the same reason Haaland could never compare to Messi or trump him in this year's Ballon d'Or (taking into account this season's performances, though). A complete goalscorer can't match a complete footballer. At best, Haaland should come in second place, very close like Van Djik and take home the best striker award like Lewandowski.

Leo Messi is winning it all day. No doubt.

This will be close vote

I think julian Alvarez could win the ballon d'or bexpuse of his achievements and trophies won this season tho becouse of the little play time he got he will probably not be acknowledged

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣am laughing at all of ur comments 😂.. do u kno why? Because Messi will win the Ballon d'or...stop wasting ur time arguing 🤣🤣

All yall say messi cuz of WC but remember this the first WC during winter so this is already not like other WC years and i feel it wont have the same impact as past ones

Question is Simple if Mbaape would have won it for france then the golden ball was his if this was the situation everyone would have preferred haaland but no its messi so everyone is prefering him anyway ballon dor is sometimes bais award check winners during world cup years Simple sometimes its hard to understand

Can players in mls win?

Mbappe scored a hat trick in the final and carried his nation to the final but sure 2 of them were penalties and if it weren’t for kolo muani they could’ve won the world cup

Per chi non lo Sa, Messi ha Vinto,la coppa america il mondiale,ed e stato il migliore giocatore del torneo,campionato francese, la finalissima contro l'Italia, che e meglio della Champion liga, cosa ha fatto Haaland in Finale, niente! come al dortmund ciao,ciao Haaland, nel campionato tedesco non hai fatto niente

Messi deserve it

Erling Haaland vs Lionel Messi

Please no AI voice

Yeah pessi 7 goals and how many pens hahaha great performance 😂 and club success? What did he do in club football 😂

guys i’m sorry if i’m wrong but didn’t messi win the world cup in 2022 not 2023 and messi played better then harland in 2022 but not in 2023 so how would it make sense for messi to win the ballondor at 2023 i’m sorry if i’m wrong

MESSI IS THE GOAT FOREVER ❤❤❤

Let me give prophecy. As times goes on ballon or will be a scam. You know why bcs its rare to find a defender winning it or even goalkeeper and a middlefield is always favoured in this campaign few goals and and few assist makes you a best player. Why do we expect a striker to have assist like a Middlefielder come striker. Anything that goes with individual awards is always biased bcs it always have a preferred spec. I remember the was this other time Van dyk was second and while messi had a bad perfomance throughout the year, just bcs he had few assists and few goals. Tell me as defender how will you be man of the match if your team is performing? Its ovias that will go to a goal scorer

Now medias pushing the propaganda for messi 😆😆

can anybody tell me why messi won 2019 and 2021 balon dor????like no logik.

you say Man City helped Haaland to win the UCL (they didn’t help him, they all helped eachother to win it together as a team btw), but you don’t say that PSG has the same amount of great players who could’ve helped each other to win the UCL, they had the same chances, but you know, the key difference between the teams it the respect towards each other, those PSG dogs all hate each other and don’t care about the club, while the City players all work together amd for the club, this is the key difference.

Becoz messi is fifa love
