Nothing concerns anyone with the better player. The award is called player of the year meaning the player with the best season. How was Messi 2022/2023 season better than Haaland.

Because being the best player at the world cup and winning it in a memorable fashion dwarfs anything Haaland did that season.
No one remembers Haaland treble season , Years from now people will still talk about how Messi and Argentina finally won the world cup in arguably the greatest WC final.
And you comparing that to Haaland?
You guys must be trolling 🤣🤣🤣

raumdeuter:


Mention any CL game where Hazard was memorable. He is retired now

Not counting Madrid because of injury
At Chelsea he didn't get the chance to play in big games barring that one semis against ATM

kendrick9:

Just because Ronaldo in his later years made poaching trendy, football wasn't like this before.
How many pure poachers have won the ballon d'or in history?

There is reason why Franz Beckenbeur is rated higher than Gerd Muller despite both playing in the same team

I don't know much about Muller and Beck so I can't talk about what I don't know.

But there's a big reason Haaland have the highest point gap in the EPL player award with Saka a distant second.

He broke records and won everything. Everything that Rodri and Kdb couldn't do.

How many tap In strikers break records?

raumdeuter:

Rest.
Forgive him for what he did to your team in that super cup and move on. You held on to that pain for too long.

What he did to your legends was unfair but still part of the game.

You are basically confessing that Messi had a better season because of narrative and what people will say in the future. Nothing tangible just pure narrative lol. So what about the 2023 fifa best player award that didn't include the world cup?

swiz123:


He is emulate Benzema's balon d'or winning season if we wants to win. Forget agenda, Haaland dey seriously short city one when they meet their match.

How many of their match did he meet last season that he floundered?

Arsenal
Man u
Chelsea
Tottenham
Liverpool

Abi na only semi final and final you wan use judge am?


Or are you people using this season only to cast him?

He said poachers and I am sure the likes of Van Nistelrooy,Inzaghi etc fall into this description

Thank God this discussion is finally moving away from Best player in the world to best season.
None of you could prove why Haaland is the best player in the world, which was my point of contention and
finally Messi's win in the ballon d'or was well deserved.
Okay..
Any other arguments I'm out

Jodera:
FIFA best, Balon dor... All join!!

Messi won World cup in 2022
What concerns Balon dor with that when when same Messi still won 2022 Balon dor because of WC

See how this one is calling his goat a thief. Football awards armed robber. Stole from Haaland, lewandowski, Benzema, Iniesta/Snejider and Ronaldo. Your dwarf is a thief.

swiz123:


I hope it's just my imagination and not you rating Chelsea as Levante cos omoo, blood will flow.

Lol, not necessarily Levante but any team struggling.

Look at Palmer for example, if he did this same quality he did at Chelsea in my team presently, he'll certainly be one of the front runners for player of the season.

Abi no be the same Havertz, Jorginho and Rudiger Chelsea fans no fit insult again?

Trevor012:

Lol...
Everyone knows Messi didn't deserve the last world best, even Messi himself.

Trying to sneak in Ronaldo like say we won't notice. Lmaooo

Grateful everyday for Ronaldo that elevated the level of this game.

People with 6 and 8 goals in an entire season plus being trophy less was winning FIFA player of the award. Ronaldinho was going trophy less with miserable stats yet winning player of the year because he was doing leg over and turn your eye. God forbid.

AdisaOwala:

How many records did they break like Haaland or something close to it?

I had them in mind when I made that statement. You know say I be young guy, please enlighten me

Messi has won many awards he didn't deserve. Stop playing dumb like last year was the first time. He stole from Haaland which you already agreed to, stole from lewandowski, Benzema, Iniesta/Snejider and then Ronaldo more than once. Messi is a criminal.

Why you no add those ones??

Arsenal lost the league last season because of KDB's brilliance. I am sure you haven't forgotten that game in a hurry.

Man city's win against Real madrid and Inter had absolutely nothing, like absolutely nothing to do with Haaland.

If your team didn't rely on you during the key moments of the season, then you are definitely not their most important player.

With Messi, his team's surge to the WC is solely based on his performance from start to end. Same with Benzema whose performance won the UCL for Madrid.
Without these two players, their team would definitely not achieve what they achieved.

You can lie to yourself that without Haaland, City wouldn't have defeated Leipzig and Upamencano's Bayern led defense.

Jodera:

Offhand, I remember Inzaghi had a record for CL hatricks (can't remember the exact details). RVN was top scorer in the CL for quite some time.

Another poacher like Crespo might also have one record somewhere

Jodera:

We dey call football players you dey call Rashford and mctominay 😂😂

Even the last world cup best player award he stole from Mbappe. No single credible tournament he went with Argentina that he won an award that didn't involve voting. Tinubu dey learn for Messi side.

afrodoc2:
Everybody's eyes will still clear about BlackTominay. I heard he dropped a stinker yesterday.

Who is BlackTominay?

One thing I know is that in a season of probably 50 matches, you can't use a match of 5-6 matches to clean out all the numerous matches Haaland shone.

There's a reason why they're a team. Haaland have done his part for considerably extended period of time at a very high quality level, then just a month to go and Kdb started getting the headlines, it doesn't stop Haaland from being the best player.

It's like crowning Gundo best player because we all know the time he normally shines (end of season)

swiz123:


Who is BlackTominay?

Bellingham of course

No mind Doc

andrewbaba44:


You know I am a big fan of Haaland

Me saying he will be one of the worst ballon d or winners doesn’t take away his qualities ,it doesn’t just sit well with me for him winning the ballon d or ahead of Messi while someone like Rodri was the best ucl player instead of him

He is a world class poacher ,forget all these our small banter ,almost everyone will love to have Haaland as their striker

They said he has not being at his best this season ,but he is still topping the epl scoring chart ,that should tell you he is quality,leave all these complete striker things with good touches for now .

I have not been impressed by his current big games performance though

Please, Haaland is not what we need right now and I will prefer Son to him.

""Arsenal lost the league last season because of KDB's brilliance. I am sure you haven't forgotten that game in a hurry.""

Kdb 2 goals 1 assist..... Haaland 2 assists and 1 goal. But it was due to Kdb brilliance lmao.

"" Benzema performance won ucl for Madrid ""

without Rodrigo two goals all his performance would have counted for nothing. Without Vini scoring in the final you will be the one still calling Benzema a flop who didn't step up in the final when it mattered most.


No need to talk about that nonsense of Messi carrying Argentina to the world cup singlehandedly.

swiz123:

Another great player .

Trevor012:

We dey call football players you dey call Rashford and mctominay 😂😂

Rashford is good ,he will cook under a good coach

I know he is inconsistent sha ,but he scored 30 goals last season ,I won’t forget that so easily .

andrewbaba44:

Ofcourse Rashford is good. Better than any la masia and Cobhams player over the last ten years.

Jude Bellingham.

I said close to what Haaland did at least in a single season not just "he broke the record of 5 goals in one match"

This are his exploits in just one season

Most goals in a single Premier League season (35);

Most goals by a Premier League player in a single season across all competitions;

Most Premier League goals scored by a Man City player in a single season;

Most goals scored by a Man City player across all competitions in a single season;

Youngest player to score 20 goals in the UEFA Champions League (20 years and 231 days);

Fastest player to score 25 goals in the UEFA Champions League (20 games);

Fastest player to score 30 goals in the UEFA Champions League (25 games);

First Manchester City player to score on both their Premier League and Champions League debut;

First player to score nine goals in their first five Premier League games;

Most Premier League goals scored in August (nine);

First player to score a hat-trick in three consecutive Premier League home matches;
Fastest player in Premier League history to three league hat-tricks (8 games, next fastest 48 games);

Third Man City player ever to score a Manchester derby hat-trick;

Most goals scored by a player before the turn of the year in a single Premier League season (21);

Quickest player to 50 goal involvements in the Premier League (38 matches);


The only players to get this kind lists in a single season na dem Messi and Ronaldo.

No be anyhow poacher be this bros

You are talking as if other players like Rodri were having a stinker while Haaland was carrying Man city.
Man city doesn't need Haaland to win EPL, and judging by his performance in key moments in UCL, they definitely don't need him to win UCL. Maybe I need to investigate to see if he was the worst city player in that final.

The balon d'or organizers saw this, the voters saw this and he was rightfully denied the award.

Jodera:

Bellingham of course

No mind Doc

Now tell me how you knew he was BlackTominay?

I did not give any clues. Why did your mind go to Bellingham?
