Lionel Messi - v7

[Ritchie]

the Global Sport of Brazil conducted an internal survey among 81 journalists who raised Leo Messi, as the player who deserves to be chosen as the best by FIFA with 313 points, clearly ahead of Van Dijk and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Dutchman gets 124 points and Ronaldo sits 3rd with 87 points.

The award has become a CL award
You need to win cl.

Would rather he stays out until Valverde is sacked.

This.

Would also show the world what an achievement it was to single handedly win us the league & almost a treble with the dumbnut for a manager!

Top 3 for The Best revealed monday at 12 CEST. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it will be Messi, Van Dijk, and Salah.

Messi, VVD and Rapenaldo is my guess.

The way it should be IMO
1 Messi
2 VVD
3 Mané (most underrated player in world football)

If you pick a Liverpool player it should be Alisson Becker, not VVD. He kept clean sheets in CL Semifinal at home (at Anfield against Barça) and in the Final against Tottenham.
He further won the Copa America with Brazil.
He denied Messi, could be named Messi's "Nemesis" both in 2018 (Roma GK) and in 2019.
UEFA did not care about Copa Amerrica, but FIFA should.

Alisson isn’t among the 10 candidates for the FIFA award. Harry Kane is though😂😂😂

Mane deserves it more but I think Salah will get third because he’s a huge name in a lot of places countries of Europe that have votes in the FIFA award but not the Uefa one.

CONMEBOL is part of FIFA, votes likely started just after copa america, my guess, Messi will lose this one as well for those statements. Ronaldo with popular votes can't miss the podium.

I found the link to the poll on reddit. Hopefully the real voters have as much sense as these did.

Sooner hes back the better , he is Barcelona. This team with this clown of a manager or not are useless without him.

 

[Never_Forget40]

Hopefully he is back after the international break as if Atletico wins today we would be 5 points behind them. I dont fear Real Madrid but Atletico could be a big danger this season.

 

[JerseyAddict]

I hope he wakes up one of these days with a thought in his head: With EV we will win shit... We need a proper coach.

Let's hope Leo wins it

 

[Hardy]

Messi finished 5th last year with far better season than Ronaldo this year. Messi should have worked better with his PR team, this is just disgraceful, someone should really expose this robbery.

 

[El MeSSiaS]

The best PR team is winning the CL
