    How has Messi won it?

    If you're the most important and best player in a World Cup winning team, you deserve the Ballon d'Or.

    Ballon D'or is not just one game though.

    I’d agree if it was a bit more recent but he’s played pub football in the 10 months since.

    Nowhere near the technical level of Messi.

    They will have been falling over themselves to give him the record breaking win.

    And nobody’s talking about Bellingham?

    Messi>Ronaldo though…. But neither playing in a decent league.

    Yes, fully deserved Kopa for Jude. He already is a star, but he is going to have a special career.

    Not really sure what you mean by this pal? Hes already broken that record before tonight?
    It was always going to be Messi. I honestly don't know half the people hating on him winning it has seen him properly for a long time! Personally, id have voted Haaland but journalists love their access. But no real issues with him winning it tbf.

    Joke competition, Alverez was 7th - spent most of the year on the bench for city...but he's won a world cup.

    PSG were *****, Argentina win a world cup so Messi wins it.

    Argentina won on penalties. Penalties, after one of the other world superstars scored a hat-trick. So Messi wins the trophy. Had a couple of his Argentina teammates bottled their penalties and France won, presumably Messi would be forgotten about and Mbappe would have won the trophy. So it all rested on which of their teammates bottled their penalties. Bit of a flimsy reason for awarding someone a trophy for being the bestest footballer in the whole wide world all year, don’t you think?

    There was another guy though, won the big 3 trophies with his club, scoring a zillion goals along the way…

    Martinez won the Yashin award, presumably also based on the WC.
