Haaland will never win Ballon d’Or as long as he plays for Norway
I’m sick of Messi, I’m gonna puke. I get it Messi is the best player, but it became boring.
So is the award for best player or not then?
yes, but I believe Haaland must take it.
Give it to Rodri you cowards
Don’t know what more Haaland has to do to win the Ballon d’Or, he was clearly the best player of 22/23.
Not be up against Messi (Honestly, I think the World Cup win will do it for him)

Superb listing, cheers
Excuse me, but you forgot to list League’s Cup Winner and MVP for Messi.
Just kidding, I know that’s neither during the same football season nor is it a valid competition for the Ballon d’Or.
