Messi is a great player and one of the all time greats but without thinking I can place 3 or 4 more deserving players - Lewandowski Jorginho Kante Salah

Lewa could’ve gotten it too but Messi won CA, I don’t see the big controversy. Ronaldo certainly didn’t deserve it and I’m cracking up at the mention of Jorginho. Just because he was a normal player lucky to be on winning teams doesn’t mean he’s balon worthy.

Luck is a word Id use for Padoin, who won more titles than Totti. Jorginho wasnt exactly lucky, he was an integral part of both successes.

Integral part for sure, but saying he should be in the running for Balon d’Or is ridiculous. He wasn’t even the best player in those teams. That guy played like a very good, well above average player but he was not one of the best in the world.

The editor of France Football doesn't exclude retroactively award Lewandowski the 2020 Ballon d'Or like Messi suggested.

Have a look at that fan service lool. Messi probably felt like he didn't deserve to win

How can someone be Forward of the Year while also lose Player of the Year to another forward?
Good point lol

Jorginho finishing ahead of CR7 was hilariously bad, but tbh Ronaldo is crying too much about his placement. He was no way a top 3 player this year, Lewandowski, Messi, Benzema and Salah were all clearly superior.

you made my day.
Well he was the leader of his team both for club and nation and won with both being one of the best players in the tournament.
What worth are tricks if in the end you get eliminated?!

Lewandowski crushed competition with Bayern while breaking record after record so obviously he is more deserving but both Kante and Jorginho contributed to a success while Messi - havent really won anything with Barcelona this past year (Obviously he is one of the all time greats but its not automatically makes him the winner)

The people who think Jorginho should have won this year, should Khedira have won in 2014 when he won the Champions League and World Cup in the same year?
