Messi left off 30-man Ballon d'Or shortlist for first time since 2005 as Neymar also misses out The PSG star was not among the stars named to the final list unveiled on Friday Lionel Messi has been left off the Ballon d'Or shortlist as the Paris Saint-Germain star was not named among France Football's 30-man shortlist on Friday. Messi has not been left off of a Ballon d'Or shortlist since 2005, having won the award seven times during that span. His team-mate Neymar was also among those to not make the list, while the Argentine's former La Liga rival Cristiano Ronaldo did make the list Messi's performance Playing in his first-ever season away from Barcelona, Messi did not meet his own lofty standards when it comes to goals during his debut season at PSG. He did, however, provide plenty assists, as he set up 14 goals in addition to the 11 he scored in his first season in France, one which ended with a Ligue 1 title. Internationally, he helped Argentina win the Finalissima while scoring seven times in 15 matches. Messi's Ballon d'Or history The Argentine earned his first Ballon d'Or nomination in 2005, his first season as a regular starter at Barcelona. Messi finished in the top three every year from 2007-2018, winning the award five times during that span. After missing out in 2018, he won the award in both 2019 and 2021, with the Ballon d'Or not being handed out in 2020 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. |

Both of 'em had poor season. Wasn't xpecting them tbh. Watch out as they make a comeback this season. I see Messi gunning for a record extending 8th balon d'or come next year. |

HarlequinLekex: I don't think it's about new names springing up. If the older guys are still putting top performances every season they deserve to be in the list as well. |

Kingcalls: It's not about delusion. FYI, i like both Messi and Ronaldo. I don't get into arguments 'bout them coz they are the best. |

Kingcalls: It's a pity u don't even understand my point. I already said they both had poor seasons which means they don't deserve to be in the list. 1 Like |

justicechichex: Ronaldo had a great season , Manchester had a poor season... how can u say the player that finished 3rd in the EPL goal standings with a shitty team and also scored 6 goals ( mostly winning goals ) in 7 games in the UCL had a bad season... person score 24 goals and u say he had a bad season? Messi had a bad season but PSG had a decent season...thats the difference... |

Kingcalls: Dunno how Ronaldo came into the picture in the first place. The thread is about Messi and Neymar. I never talked 'bout CR7 |
Re: Messi and neymar left Off 30-man Ballon D'or Shortlist by Kingcalls: 5:07pm On Aug 14, 2022 |
justicechichex: The person I quoted left messi and neymar and started talking about Ronaldo not deserving to be on the list cos messi failed to make the list |
