Is Messi truly deserve the Ballon D’or?
Can someone tell me why Messi won the Ballon D'or award? What made him stand out? What were his past achievements within the cause of the year? What did he do? He was there when Liverpool beat Barcelona 4-0 to proceed in the Champions League last season. Mane and Salah scored the highest goal in England. Their performance in the Champions league and Premiership were top-notch. I see some sentiment in this decision. He is just been awarded for the big namesake. Van Dijk stood better than him based on achievements.
It is bad to be saying no to something, yet we see it happening. We claim to love ourself irrespective, but our actions speak the opposite. Messi was just been favoured. There are certainly some politics in the decision. I can remember when Wesley Sneijder was the right man for the Ballon d'Or. Inter Milan won the Champions League, won the Italy league, and he played the final World Cup against Spain, but Messi was given the award. Ballon D'or is just a trash, not an award And there is sentiment in decision making.
I am happy that the GOAT(Greatest of all time) Ronaldo did not attend the award night. He knew he won't get the award, but the right person(Van Dijk) won't still get it. He is already a successful player. All his Ballon D'or award worth it. Messi two Ballon D'or were given based on sentiment. If we want the world to be a better place, cheat should stop in everything about life.
Sadio Mane also did not attend. He was supposed to be in the league close to Messi. He played the Africa Cup final, scored high in the premier league, and won the Champions League. His performance was top-notch. He did well, but what happens?
I love him and he gave himself a hope that he will be getting the award next year. If I am to reach him, I would tell him, hey man, you need to score 60 goals, win the Champions League, Premier League, and be extremely outstanding, else messi will get it again. The big names.
