Casillas about Messi's win: “
You create some nice prizes and you are taking them away by not doing things fairly. ‘The Smile’ more like. Anyway, good night!”.

I mean yeah its not Messi's fault that players voted for him because of symphaty but it destroys the value of these trophies.

Messi v CR7 in CL KO (across 2 semis and 1 final)

Messi: 5 games, 3 goals, MOTM in CL final and SF

CR7: 5 games, 0 goals, 1 missed penalty

Oof.

Chill dude everyone understood i made some jokes except you, damn you get triggered by everything, also you chose the wrong tournament to compare both :ROFLMAO:

Apparently, Roberto Martinez just said in an interview that he voted for Messi because he took the WC into consideration.


There has to be some sort of mix-up with the dates here.


If all the players voted for Messi because they loved his game, he'd win in 2021 too when he had a way better year than the current quiet year he had.

Messi definitely did not deserve to win the FIFA Best 2023 based on the timeline.

The timing of when the awards are given plays a part imo with recency bias being a big thing.
