If the criteria was goals, it should've been Mbappe
If the criteria was assists, it should've been Olise
If the criteria was G/A, it should've been Mbappe again
If the criteria was big match performance, it should've been Rodri
The only way Messi could've won it is if the criteria was stad-padding against teams ranked above 25
