Lionel Messi - v7

[Jakabor]

748 goals



315 assists



35 trophies



57 freekicks



54 hattricks



50 league goals in a season



73 goals all competitions in a season



91 goals in a year



30 or more club goals in last 13 seasons



8 Pichichi



6 European Golden Shoe



6 Ballon d'Or



6 FIFA Best Player



1 World Cup Golden Ball



2 UEFA Best Player



35 titles (some of the highlights are his 10 La Liga titles (vs Ronaldo?s mere 2 La Liga titles, 4 CL titles, one Copa America).



And as far as Ballon DOr in 2021 is concerned: Messi is at 47 G+A in the calendar year 2021 for club and country. Trophies: Copa del Rey and Copa America.

Ronaldo not on that level in his statistical output. Both won their countrys respective Cup, but Messi also edge Ronaldo with his Copa America (in which Messi was the top scorer, top assistmaker AND deservedly awarded best player for the whole tournament).

Messi in 2021 has better stats and more trophies compared to Ronaldo so far.

Messi has the statistical output and trophies to win his 7th Ballon DOr. Ronaldo wont come close. He cant beat the first trophy with Argentina-narrative.
Not a chance. Only Lewa will have a chance with his historical goal scoring in the Bundesliga, but I dont think even he cant top Messi in 2021 because of the stats of Messi AND the Copa America triumph.

Kudos to Leo. He deserves it FFS. Now the Balon D'or it's in the bag, just announce the contract renewal with Barca!

He has just gotten a taste of winning again. He cant go back to R16 humiliations at Barca after this. PSG, City, or Bayern it is

 

[Altomonte]

the only reason for selecting Lewandowski would be to recognize his performance in 2020. He would have been the deserving recipient in 2020.If the award is given for achievements in 2021, Messi should be the favorite.
What is the more significant achievement:
1. Breaking Gert M?ller's goal scoring record in the German Bundesliga,
or
2. Leading Argentina to the first big tournament win since 1993, by scoring 4 goals, providing 5 assists, and being voted best player of the tournament?
I rest my case.

 

[Jadentheman]

He might sign again even knowing full well he won?t ever reach another final for the rest of his club career. I think we?ll see him shift his priorities to his international career with Argentina since he still has a chance there.

You are overdramatic. Barca still won more trophies than most so called big clubs in the last 5 years. QSG lost the title to Lille. Bayern is playing with minnow clubs and it s on the wane. And City will never win a CL, not even with Messi in their rooster. He is 34. He fulfilled his dream. He won countless trophies with Barca. He'll win the 7th Ballon d'Or. He needs to go out from Barca with a stadium pack-fulled. You'll see that he'll remain at Barca, like it or not.

 

[DonAK]

Lewy should get the 2020 award retroactively. Heck do it at the same ceremony. Messi for 2021.

France Football pulled off a weak move last year. You think they would do that shit if Mbappe was going to win?

That supposed to be Maradona or grown up version of the kid from 'Up'?

Man now Ronaldo's fan think Jorginho deserves to win Ballon Dor. He is good but not even the best player of his club and country.

From Kante to Kane to Jorginho.

Imagine how many Ballon dor Iniesta and Xavi would win from 2008-12.

 

[aragorn]

The GOAT a Barca player yet? I hope the current board won't claim him a NEW SIGNING like the assholes in the last!

They would even nominate Riqui Puig for B'Dor, as long as Messi doesn't nail the NO. 7!
No one deserves it more than Messi this season. Even the ultimate troll and massive Messi hater, A.K.A BarcaOG, admitted that if he wins Copa he should be awarded it. I am sure he will tell us all about it when he returns from his vacations.

 

[Sterlingfan2000]

La Liga have not authorised Barcelona to register Lionel Messi?s new contract yet, per reports. As of today, they don?t even know the terms of the deal. No contact between Tebas and Laporta.


Just confirm his extension. so we can focus

I have the feeling this time his vacations wont end.....

I don't see it. He is do mediocre.
