How Good Were The Last 25 Balon d'Or Winners?

To the Messi fans crying in the comments, I’m just putting forward the debate that floats around. He is one of the GOATS undeniably. You can calm down😉

Considering Messi and Ronaldo numbers and now seeing the Vini number and how he is pegged for the Balon D Or ..Messi and Ronaldo are on different Goat levels than current generation or even generation before

The best individual player is Messi. The problem, is you mix it this award and team performance.

- Saying Messi didn't deserve it in 2019 - Making Thumbnail that disrespecting Messi - Not even mention Suarez in 2016 - Not even mention Griezmann in 2018 - Saying Modric wasn't deserve it in 2018 - and Many more Now I know why I had a feeling not to subscribe back then, The knowledge is a little bit too much for speaking about football 💀

You argue that snijder should've won in 2010 because stats don't matter, then say haaland deserved because of stats. Bro watches sky sports for football knowledge it seems. Typical Seasonal fan

How are you gonna say Messi didnt deserve it in 2019? He carried a broken Barcelona to the semifinals of the Champions League getting MVP each game and also doing the same thing in La Liga, as soon as i heard you say he didnt deserve i knew you didnt even watching him perform and only did the video based of stats and tiktok clips lmao

During 1991 - 2009, the "FIFA Player of the Year" was considered the highest individual award in football. During that period, the Balon d'Or a.k.a European Footballer of the Year was considered the lesser award. If you look back at all the winners of the FIFA Player of the Year and Balon d'Or winners from 1991 - 2009, the winners of the FIFA Player of the Year award were always considered the best player during their respective years

the Sneijder 2010 argument is one of the biggest fallacies in football. He was not even best player in Inter that year, it was Diego Milito then Lucio as a close second. Sneijder played 24 games only in Serie A that year. In champions league, Messi was player of the tournament. Sneijder did have an excellent World Cup but was not even player of the tournament or win the thing either. How did he deserve it over Messi who had 81 goal contributions and dozens of legendary performances? 😂

Bro didnt even mention Griezmann in the 2018 Ballon Do’r, get your ball knowledge straight m8

Everyone is talking about Messi but what about 2013 where CR7 won without any team trophies

Messi scored 38 goals in 2022..not 28 goals..

As long as Messi plays, he owns the ballon' for wether you like it or not

NOW the world will truly begin to realize and appreciate just how insanely good Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi were. When we look at the curent Balon d or winners of the 2020s and compare them to Messi or Ronaldo late 2000s and 2010s runs you'll laugh. It was literally a once in a lifetime talent but 2 of them not only in the same lifetime, but same exact time, only 2 years apart competing with each other every year not just for the numbers, but head to head in the same league, for the 2 best teams in the world for almost a decade straight. We were so blessed.

I think the reason why Messi Win in 2023 Ballondor and why the World Cup Count is because Balloondor 2023 Start in August 2022 and End july 2023 Since World Cup start in November to December 2022 It Count and in that years Messi also win 3 Team Trophy same as Man City But he also have 10 Individual Awards during that Being Top Assister in the World Cup and MVP definitely a achievement

I’m sorry but Messi and Ronaldo definitely deserved it between 2008-2017 period and it’s not even close or up to debate idc about if their teams won trophies or not it’s an individual award and the numbers these two goats were putting up these years were absurd I mean utterly ridiculous and will never probably be replicated at that caliber ever again so I don’t wanna hear other players deserved it during those years now outside of that period I can agree but during those years it’s all them no debate period.

Every time CR7 won it (Balon d'or) every Tom, Dcik & Harry had an opinion but when the Midget was given those Balon D'or' by FIFA then everyone kept quiet.🤬🤬🤬🤬

Nah Messi in the thumbnail 💀 Edit: dude why is there a debate going on in the comment

When your idol cant win .. just cry and say robbed

You have to remember after 2021, the balon d’or became based on the season not the calendar year. That’s why the 2022 World Cup had to be considered in the 2023 balon d’or

1999- "He scored 29 goals and 18 assists in 48 games, that means he was more goal contributions then games"
