Plot twist: City wins the treble and Julian Alvarez wins the 2023 balon dor for completing football at 23.

I really hope Haaland doesn't get the Lewandowski treatment

After the World Cup final the French journalists are deffo not voting for Messi 💀

EXACTLY! Even if Haaland wins CL and EPL most will vote for Messi. Next year will be a different story

People nowadays prioritise goals over skills.That's why goalscorers have the golden boot.

Immediately after the World Cup I knew Messi would win because Messi is him, even if another player has the season of his life it really doesn't matter.

Everyone doubted haaland performing in the EPL now that he is everyone wants to find an excuse to not award him…

Isnt it kind of ridiculous, to jst handover the ballon dor based off of a narrative rather than awarding it to the player who is about to win the treble at the age of 22 and several other personal trophies and has almost shattered every premier league record out there

Moral of the story:- Don't take football awards seriously

If Haaland Wins The Treble He Definitely Deserves It (Bro If Haaland Don't Win It)

MessiMania continues… what a legendary player. God bless football ❤

Bro everybody talking about Messi but what about the other Argentine players that also won the world cup with Messi. they really helped him win the world cup.

Messi still has more G+A than Haaland this season in all comps for club n country, despite Haaland having scored around 55 goals. Let that sink in.

"messi breaths" fifa:-"give this man a balloon d'or"

The way he is pronouncing Argentina and Maradona. I already knew what his answer going to be lol. Haaland deserves it more. Season long league, playing so many other top teams. Managing a tight schedule and still be able to stay fit and go out there and perform is way difficult than a one month tournament football. And I never liked tournament football anyway. There is always a little luck involved based on who you get in you group, who you get in the next round….. in a season long league everyone plays everyone.

Coming into the season Man City was a likely contender for the UCL. However, when the World Cup began it was wide open. Ronaldo, Modric, Neymar, Mbappe, KDB all showed up, and Argentina lost their first match! It was a tougher feat, not to mention taking on the reigning champions in the final and still coming out with the Golden Ball. Sheesh!

8th ballon d'or coming soon

I think KDB deserves it more than Haaland. Haaland doesn’t do half of what he does with out kevin.

Bro it's 2023 not 2022, if Messi wins the Ballon dor, nobody is gonna care about ballon dor anymore or even respect it because it becomes a gift rather than award. Bro, come on man, you'll acting like Messi has 0 ballon dors, bro Messi has 7 ballon dors dude, many players are still dreaming to win 1 but this dude has 7, Haaland winning the ballon dor might help him to become a future star.

When did football become Hollywood. A story is greater than performance?

Not to mention Messi also has a good G/A this season,halaands beating it by a bit, and Messi is also winning his league as well as haaland, and the World Cup > Champions league + FA cup so I think Messi deserves it even if haaland wins the treble

Also, that would be Messi's EIGHTH BALLON DOR

Loved the way he explained

Lets be real, he's never been in Maradona's shadow.

Pessi deserves fifa dor and referees😅😅

Halland deserve Ballon d'r and messi deserve Super ballon d'r.

That guy's explained it well. The Ballon d'or isn't about who had the best season, it's about which story is more interesting. That's why everyone needs to collectively stop taking that award seriously

This isn’t about what he went through in the past, this is about what you did this season

If haaland gets 60+ goals and wins the treble i think he deserves it more than anyone else.....

Why is no one mentioning KDB? Bro has scored pivotal goal after pivotal goal. Literally the biggest game changer this year

Bro the thing is both deserve this yr. It will be so tough and the margin will be one of the lowest ever tbh

I think people fail to realise that even without the world cup Messi is the one with the 4th highest goal contributions in the UCL this season . He has been phenomenal in the league too althou PSG overall as a team have been just embarrassing. In my mind there is no doubt Messi deserves the ballon dor more than Haaland, thing with Haaland is that he couldn't influence the champions league ties much after that game against leipzig, and also he was very poor in the final against United as well as last night's final against Inter Milan.

if haaland wins ucl and pl its haaland no doubt

Messi was carried by the refs

Everybody forgot about mbappe he got best player in ligue 1,did a lot of goal (although not more than haaland)and did a good world cup

It's crazy how the best player in the world is soo subjective to alot of conditions and criterias, without considering the players performance... The most prestigious individual award,is based on how your team performs and not how well the player does

City also has same pressure to win their first ucl Haaland after those community shield games was said to be a flop in epl I undoubtedly think Haaland would bag it

Bro they literally just state in that argument that Messi doesn’t deserve it but because he was gifted the WC by FIFA people will also gift him the Balón D’or

That was the 2022 WC and this is the 2023 Ballon’dor

Honestly bro… with all do respect to Messi. He is been lucky the press does not talk shit about him as much as Cr7. I’ll go as far to say at least 1/3 of his trophies were biased towards him especially the UCL in 2009 and the Balon D’or… the remontana against PSG and many more… not to mention what did he achieve on club level with PSG? 🤦🏻‍♂️

UCL is way more tougher than world cup

He pronounced Diego Maradona like a GOD

Bro if messi is winning the ballon dor that mean that everyone is favourizing this mf

This is where football goes wrong. It’s sad. The award should be solely based on the performance and performance only. Narrative should not be in the picture. Make a special award for messi or give him the super ballondor for his impeccable career but halland deserves this award in every way possible. Simple as that . Narrative cannot trump performance

If Modric won it in 2018 , Then it only makes sense that messi win it this year , Because messi had the best stats that year 🙂... And Ronaldo had a CL and much better stats than Modric but Modric won it anyways so it is biased towards world cup glory

No bro if haaland does all that he deserves it... I am a Messi and haaland fan I think haaland deserve I this time ❤

When performance of one month is more important than the whole year… why Sneijder said sadly Bale would never win the Ballon Dor because he’s from Wales… even winning the treble and reaching the finals of World Cup wasn’t enough to win ahead of Messi… might as well just give him the award regardless of anything

I hate how KDB isn’t even part of the conversation, I think he deserves it

If Haaland wins the treble, no doubt he deserves the Ballon D’or. If no treble, then no. Both Haaland and Messi are close when it comes to overall goal contributions, but Messi has the illustrious World Cup and carried his team to glory. That’s what gives him the edge. I hope Haaland does win the Ucl, I’m sure Messi is content with just the World Cup and doesn’t care about the Ballon D’or anymore.

Messi will win it but next year haaland will win Ballon do'or

I think it's extremely misleading to say haaland won the treble. City did. Messi on the other hand. He definitely made all the difference. For god sake the guy scores like a hat trick and assists the other two goals. Haaland relies on kdb wayy too much.

Ballon d’Or should go to the player who had the biggest impact throughout the entire season from start to finish. Haaland and De Bruyne should compete for first place. Mbappe third place.

If Haaland wins the champions league he should get it . Messi score 5 penalties at the World Cup . He may not even be the best player at the tournament

Haaland deserves it

I mean there currently is a lot of pressure on man City and haaland to win the CL also he has beaten loads of records while a lot of people saying he gonna be a flop in the PL

I think Messi shouldn’t be in this convo. It should be Vini vs Haaland. Messi is one of the greats and did amazing in the World Cup, but so did the rest of the team of Argentina. Haaland can be argued he just taps it in but name me one other striker this season who is doing it in the same amount and at the same level. And Haaland this season might help city to a treble. Vini has been phenomenal on the left wing. No other player I can name has been as scary as Vini on the left wing as him. In the World Cup he had his moments. He already won the copa del Rey, and can get another ucl trophy. Vini and Haaland are on the top this year.

Messi is the GOAT 🎱 Incoming 🇦🇷❤️🏆⭐️⭐️⭐️

Halaand is a great player no doubt He may score 50 55 goal at the end of the season and also win a treble but Messi winning the WORLD CUP is like a beautiful romantic story in Football which came to an end ....so it is the biggest event of this season

If Halland wins the champions league I believe he deserves it for the season he had. If not. Then Messi should get it. As he has kept up his standard well into the 30yrs bracket. Man's 35 n if u check he is has one of the highest goal contributions stats

I see Messi as the goat of Football but if I be honest messi's biggest achievement in 2022 world cup was scoring his penalties parfectly(except 1)

If Messi was a young lad and suddenly won the WC like he just did, as well as scoring a shit load of goals and being the best playmaker ever, he would of course win the Ballon D'or. The "problem" is that he is the best and he has been the best for so many years and we are so used to it. Haaland is awesome, but Messi is still a whole different level.

People who say Messi will win this year’s ballon d’or are delusional, it should go to Haaland

The fact that a month long tournament can take away what u did in an entire year is crazy

Being investigated for match fixing not deserved

For me messi deserves the ballon d'or

Messi got carried by Martinez

Be happy Messi is still playing football, and we can enjoy his matches, after his retiring from football nobody will give us this gameplay as Messi

Messi deserves it and will win it, keep your tears ready haters 😋🐐

Haaland is a great striker that's about it, he wasn't even in the world cup

This kinda remind me of 2010 when messi one the balon dor because he hell of a season and scored like 49 that year and xavi and Iniesta didnt and they won world cup 🤷🏽‍♂️

Crazy that a 7 game tournament can decide who wins the ballom d'or which is based on a whole year. If Haaland wins the treble he should win it. Come on be fair here.

KDB deserves more than the two mentioned in the video

Haaland with treble > messi with world cup

Who loves football they loves Messi and who loves on scorer he likes Ronaldo, haaland, mbappe

If by scoring tons of Goals can Win you Ballon D'Or then Modric should never won 2018 Ballon D'Or

"So you had a great season" "Yeah "So Messi will win it"

If Messi wins it it’s rigged.

You got to understand guys The ballandor is a individual award It's based on the individual performance It involves the performance in finals of any major trophy such as UCL, World Cup, and the top 5 leagues etc.. Also Messi can't win the Ballan dor with only the world cup Of course he have good stats in the wc But FIFA need to consider the individual perfomance like goals,assists If we look into the individual perfomance Haaland has more GA than Messi Haaland has more win than Messi And if Haaland win the pl and UCL it's certain that haaland would likely win the Ballan dor

Listen to all people.. Champion league is huge but no champion league legacy is bigger than the world cup..nothing is massive than a fucking World cup.. Messi did something n argentina that it took 36 yrs in the making Messi deserve the ballon dor Ya for sure Aks..🇲🇺

Nothing comes close to the world cup, end of debate

These pessi fans are getting greedy now 😂😂😂

Messi doesn't come close to the Ballon Dor. FIFA is corrupt. The World Cup was not only super short, but it was forever ago and PSG suck. And the World Cup is overrated. Plus scoring 5 pens of which Messi earned none of them, doesnt warrant a Ballon Dor. Haaland, Mbappe, Vinicius. Just a few players who have a had a way better year. And you could make an argument that Kane, Leao, Osimhen, De Bruyne, Modric, Benzema, etc have been better than Messi. You could even say Ronaldo has been better.

Ballon or inst about numbers is all about success ,achievements trophies

Ballon d'or isn't about your entire career or a "narrative" its about who had the best performance in that year from January to December. And Messi wasn't better than Haaland those 12 months.

If someone pronounces Maradona like that they are definitely biased Argentinian

100% .. Messi deserves another balón d or

Messi of course. He has a World Cup and definitely a Ligue 1 title. He should win.

Well , both deserve it but I think still messi deserves it more (if halland wins trebel it's gonna be mental though) we can't forget messi got a bunch of goals in world cup and he also has 50+ goal involvement this season , messi had so much pressure and winning it all in his last world cup, and arguably becoming the greatest footballer all while in shadow of Maradona and facing all the critisism for losing a single match,. He just deserves it a little more. Though I would also understand if halland wins .

Americans☕️

Yeah obviously messi won 3 robbed ballandor in 2010 in 2019 and in 2021 . Well done he will rob another . Ronaldo also robbed one in 2014 but Ronaldo was robbed in 2018

MESSI deserves ballon d'or than any one else ❤💜🔟🇦🇷🐐

Messi 63 g/a World cup, finalisma, ligue 1 WC man of the tournament Plus the narrative of him carrying argentina through the world cup and finally winning it at the end of his top level career

The Balon’Dor should be based off their individual performances, Messi just scored penalties and one not penalty goal all throughout the entire World Cup, Ealing may not have gotten into the World Cup, but, he had a way better individual performance, 55 goals, won the treble and not being a useless asset to the team by walking around, falling in the box getting penalties and scoring them, Haaland was the main reason they won, he was a incredibly important asset scoring goals, creating goals and being that player that you need him to be. And being his first year in the biggest league in the world. And an entire career isn’t what the Balon’Dor is about, it is about your season, what you achieved, sure he won the World Cup. But so did iniesta in 2010: No Balon’Dor So did Neuer in 2014: No Balon’Dor So did Mbappe in 2018: No Balon’Dor So did Griezmann in 2018: No Balon’Dor And you know what’s funny about all those players I mentioned: They all had better overall seasons…

Messi was never in the shadow of Maradona

Ffs why does the wc get priority and journalists always do this Messi over lewa Now messi over Haaland

they prioritize feats when messi has feats and narrative when messi has narrative

Goals dont matter its how you devalope

Makes a whole lotta sense

That narrative makes more money

would it be possible to do videos on individual le mans cars? i loved your group c vids and i hope well see more of them in the future
