ESPN FC’s Alejandro Moreno, Dan Thomas, Frank Leboeuf, Mark Ogden and Steve Nicol take on the major arguments after Barcelona’s Lionel Messi narrowly beat out Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk for the 2019 Ballon d’Or award, including: should Messi care that he has gone above Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo with an unprecedented sixth win, (4:26) have players like Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema been ranked too poorly by the voters, (5:10) will PSG stars Kylian Mbappé and Neymar be the next players to dominate the Ballon d’Or discussions, (6:04) and is the Ballon d’Or meant to be for the best player in the past year or the best player on the planet.

Ale moreno is absolutely correct

Sepehr Daghbandan says:

BuRRning desire, love it.

Veddi inspires says:

I am a Liverpool fan and I think Van dijk deserves the prize. But Moreno has a point, you can't compare someone's standard with himself. Messi deserved the prize as well. He got it and Van dijk didn't. End of story.

Mr Fantastic says:

How many people did Messi suck off to win that award ??

Amit Sharma says:

I've seen many sharp shooters like Cristiano, Lewandowski etc, many dribblers like Maradona, Best etc, many playmakers like Zidane, Xavi etc, many prolific goalscorers like Ronaldo, Romario etc, many players having vision like Scholes, Modric etc, many having ball control like Iniesta, Ronaldinho etc, many talented Free Kick takers like Beckham, Juninho etc, many speedsters like Bale, Robben etc, many assist providers like Ozil, De Bruyne etc, many passers like Kroos, Pirlo etc.

But.. but… I've never witnessed a man who is capable of doing everything… a man who dominates almost all aspects of this game.. other than LIONEL MESSI….

This dude a hater

Trumpet Music says:

If any of these clowns had 10% of Messi's success when they used to play, they would be calling themselves the goats.

Arshad Mukadam says:

Barca won la liga because of Messi it was because Real Madrid n atl. Madrid didn’t play the football as high as expected from them

Charles Chishimba says:

come on guys ..Ballon d'or award is a personal performance award not a team performance award .you can't compare what Leo did last season to what van D did ..please Ronaldo fans ..ronaldo did not make Juventus win the league.they have been winning the league for four times in a role and you call that a challenge?.They bought C .Ronaldo because of the champions league .C Ronaldo needs someone to create for him that's what made him to be a better scorer at real Madrid now Juventus is filled up with selfish players on the other hand Messi can create but it is lack of others to turn those chances into goals .Mane had a better performance than C.R last season .I know C.R is a great player but last season he did nothing and I don't know why he won the MVP award.May be just so that the Serial A can gain more likes because C.R attracts attention ..

Nathan Thornhill says:

That guy just said if Yu saw Messi in the second leg of the champions league semi you wouldn't think he'd win Balon D'or … This channel is total bullshit … The analyst all sit on their eyes! … by that same argument… If you see VVD in the first leg after Messi embarrassed the entire Liverpool team none of them should win it!!

Nathan Thornhill says:

NEMANJA MATIC ONCE PUT UP BETTER STATS THAN VAN DIJK AT CHELSEA AND NO ONE EVEN CARED TO CONSIDER HIM FOR BALON D'OR
