Messi's fault that he won a domestic double and had a better stats than the midfielder like Modric and a scorer like CR7 and Salah ? The VERY HIGH standards for Messi or because of media PR
so what this award become, a tournament award instead of best player of the year ? the big difference in NBA MVP selection, they look at players performance then the team standings. That’s how it should be, player first before team achievements
so people here didn’t think about this ? even Messi had a hard time doing nothing in the first half
Coutinho did fine in the second same with Paco that both invincible in the first half
