Wouldn't disagree.
He plays in America, he forfeits any right to the Ballon Dor with that.So who do we hand the Ballon? There's literally nobody better than Messi yet. It's not that Messi has been incredible in his old age, but there's literally nobody among the young lads that are better.
Yeah, the exception being of course when he won the World Cup, then moved to Miami.He plays in America, he forfeits any right to the Ballon Dor with that.
It's season by season and playing in MLS you don't have enough proof to win it.
He will always be individually better than everyone, because he's Messi and one of the two most talented players of all time, in my opinion.Okay, but individually he's still better than anybody. It's just poor show for young lads. Even Bapp, who was supposed to be the young leader of the pack, has been dissappointing for both club and NT.
Football is changing. They don't allow individuality at youth levels anymore. It's about passing and moving and constantly running, taking as few touches as possible, give and go etc.Okay, but individually he's still better than anybody. It's just poor show for young lads. Even Bapp, who was supposed to be the young leader of the pack, has been dissappointing for both club and NT.

Messi has no claim for BDor this season and no one is advocating for that.
The issue is that no player has stood out individually so much so it will be a close call.
Vini is the closest for me. Perhaps Rodri since the big exposure he got in the Euros.
Bellingham is not in the running for me.
