To those of y’all saying Messi won the World Cup, therefore he should win it, what about Muller in 2014? Silver ball and silver boot, won the Bundesliga along with the dfb pokal, but ended up 5th in the ballon d’or.
To those arguing that Modric set a precedence about the World Cup taking priority, it came hand in hand with a UCL 3peat. Messi’s World Cup triumph came alongside yet another humbling ucl ro16 exit. The French league isn’t serious with the way psg operate + he was outscored by Alexander Lacazette, who could barely manage 4 epl goals in his last season with arsenal.
The only reason Messi wins over Haaland is pure PR rather than sporting merit. I’m saying this as a Manchester United fan, who’d hate to see a city player win a ballon d’or as much as anyone.

No opinion from a team that is basically Messi’s bitch
