In 2010: Messi didn’t win the Champions League or the World Cup, yet they changed the Ballon d’Or criteria to favor goals and gave it to him.
In 2011: Ronaldo had more goals than Messi, but they claimed trophies were what mattered, so Messi won it again.
In 2012: Ronaldo had more trophies, but they gave it to Messi because he scored 91 goals in a calendar year.
In 2019: Van Dijk won the Champions League and was named UEFA Best Player and EPL Player of the Year, but the criteria switched back to goals and Messi won the Ballon d’Or.
In 2021: Lewandowski scored more goals, had a historic individual season, and won The Best FIFA Men’s Player, but Messi was given the Ballon d’Or for winning the Copa América.
In 2023: Haaland won five trophies including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup along with the UEFA Best Player, EPL Player of the Year, and the Golden Boot. Yet, the Ballon d’Or went to Messi for winning the 2022 World Cup, even though in 2010 they argued that the World Cup did not matter 😂.
