Ballon Dor criteria is basically "whatever Messi wants"
In 2010, Messi won the Ballon Dor with 0 WC goals coz "World Cup doesnt matter"
Fast forward to 2023, Haaland did not win Ballon Dor despite winning a treble & breaking Premier League goals record coz "World Cup matters"
So whether you win the World Cup or not, Messi will rob you.
Remember when Cristiano said Barcelona received preferential treatment from referees?
Years later, the Negreira payments came to light.
We just have to wait and see.
MDRRRRRRRRR

🚨 Official Ballon d'Or account statement:
"Yes, winning the World Cup helps, but it does not guarantee a Ballon d'Or. To win it, you need to have been the best player of the season, not only of the World Cup."
