Debate on Ballon d'Or Winners

Messi and Ronaldo should have the same amount of Ballon d'Ors.

I think they should both have six each.

I think Ronaldo in 2018 for Modric.

I think 2021 was the biggest robbery of Lewandowski ever.

And 2023, it should have been Erling Haaland.

Yeah, I just want to get into those Ballon d'Ors that you said.

So the Modric one, I'll give that to you.

I think Ronaldo should have won that as well.

But then you said the Lewandowski one and the Haaland one.

Yeah, I'm a City fan.

Even myself, I think Haaland shouldn't have won it because Messi, it's an individual award, right?

Yeah. Messi had better stats than him.

No, he didn't.

He scored three times less goals.

No, he didn't.

But as a group, he had more G8.

He got 20 goals.

I swear, he had more G8.

Not just that, though, but Man of the Matches awards.

He had almost tripled the amount of Man of the Matches in that year.

He also spent half the year in the MLS.

Yeah, but still, it's Man of the Matches.

Individual award, no? Messi's the first player not in European Top 5 League to win the Ballon d'Or at the time.

That just makes it even more crazier, though, because it was from the beginning of that thingy and then he moved into the MLS.

People were voting for him off emotion.

They weren't voting for him because he was the best player in that calendar year.

They were voting for him because he's completed football.

It's the perfect fairy tale.

He's won a seven-game tournament in the World Cup.
