"Lionel Messi has been crowned the best player on the planet for the third year in a row after beating off competition from Xavi and Cristiano Ronaldo to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or." ESPN
CR7 scored just as many goals almost individually <i say individually coz lets face it, Real Madrid aren't as tight of a unit as Barca> and if that doesn't say great player, than messi isn't great either.
but lets not argue. for me it will be like trying to put a block into a round hole.
I think other than being bad losers, Mou didn't like that 3-2 match against malaga, the team was punished for their awful performance. Members from RM that were supposed to be there; Iker, Ramos, Xavi alonso, along with CR7 and Mou didn't go.
That and lets face it, It was clear who was going to win the damn thing.
Personally I think Xavi deserves it just as much, amazing mid fielder. One can only hope to have some one close to his caliber to play for RM in the future.
Rooney should have won best goal in my opinion.
Messi - comgrats!
another hat-trick for Messi, correct decision and congratulate.
on another f*cking level, leo totally deserves it.
lol told you messi name was engraved on that trophy before they even chose the nominees.
