The Game Beyond the Headlines

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@KDCGlobal_ To a Ronaldo fan, there is nothing Messi will win that wont be controversial

Its the default state

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@BammyOfficial Maybe you didn’t read it properly
Only lack of logic would make you think someone had a better WC than the finalist who had the 2nd most goals at 39

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@kollytheguru It’s hate
The hate for Barca and all affiliated to it is at an all time high.

It’s sickening and weird at the same time

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

If you do any football shortlist and ask professionals (Journalist, Players or Coaches)

And Messi is in that shortlist and he has even a good season

Messi will win

He is literally the most respected footballer of the modern era by his peers and professionals

[#TheSportsIlluminator 🤝 @RayToluAyo]

Robert Lewandoski didn't win the Champions League in 2021, which was the year he won the Gerd Muller award

In 2020, the year Bayern Munich won the Champions League, the Ballon d'Or didn't hold because of COVID-19

And yes, in 2021, he was still deserving of the Ballon d'Or but they undeservedly gave it to Lionel Messi

That was Messi's third undeserved and controversial Ballon d'Or win

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@RayToluAyo This is actually ridiculous
Jorginho won UEFA player of the season - Lewa was in UEFA competitions that season

Messi won Ballondor

Why have you never said Jorginho robbed the award ?

It’s a voting award, when do fans understand this

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@stayEminent Why didn’t the “best pro league player” make it ?

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@Praise_Ffs Ronaldo was winning ballondor for his performance in the UCL from quarters in February to final in May - around 8 games

Did you complain then ?

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@RayToluAyo It’s a valid argument
Very valid one

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@Praise_Ffs It’s given by votes
People vote
If you don’t gather enough votes, you don’t finish high

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@henryggmu1 When do people realise the Ballondor is won by voting

If you don’t win the votes, you loose

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@SirJarus @RayToluAyo The World Cup year actually determined it actually

The only reason Mbappe is 2nd was his World Cup performance

Messi is 5th also for World Cup performance
Kane literally won Bronze at the World Cup - for the 1st time since the 60s for England

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@SirJarus Mbappe performance in the World Cup was what took him that high

If it was not a World Cup year you think he will finish 2nd for winning La Liga golden boot ?

Or you didn’t see the man from Miami that finished 5th ??

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@kusssman He is Barca player
So he must be hated beyond logic

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@PreciyIsi Barca fans would have gone through a lot

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

Barcelona are a ridiculous gigantic "FOOTBALLING" institution

[KOMBO™ @ultimate_kombo]

Barcelona Rules football

Vicky Lopez Back to back Female Kopa winner

LAMINE YAMAL 3 times in a row Kopa winner

👏👏👏👏👏

More than a club 💙❤️

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@McFlybowy When the league had the actual best players in the world in the early 2000s they ranked higher

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@PreciyIsi Honestly any of them can win
but the ranking so far has prioritized the World cup
i think the World cup winner will be 1 or 2

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@RayToluAyo I see

[The Match Observer @matchObserver_]

@RayToluAyo Cause not sure how Ferran got ranked that high
He only started 1 game at the WC
And for Barca ......
