Interesting debate starting about the Ballon d'Or (player of the season). Should Messi get it for the World Cup, or Mbappe for his WC efforts + a stronger Ligue Un showing, or Haaland for his superhuman PL + UCL showing? Personally I think I prefer Mbappe, but interested to hear people's thoughts (Counts last season)

@cyrus and @chukwukaosakwe i take your points, but Mbappe had a nearly-as-good club season as Haaland, plus an incredible World Cup, which imo shouldn’t count for everything (which it kinda would for Messi) but should count for something significant

Feels like this is Messi’s season narrative-wise, and it’s his last chance since he’s out of Europe now But I’d probably go Haaland with City winning the treble + him scoring >1 goal/gm in both PL and UCL

Messi hands down. The Balloon D’Or isn’t about individual talent, it’s about the most compelling story over the last year. It just so happens to correlate with talent.

Can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be haaland Except sentimental bullshit. Was Messi even the best player at the world cup or just the best story?
