France Football just named the latest Ballon d’Or winner. And of course, some people are excited about the results, while some feel like their favorite player was cheated. Well, that’s how it always is almost every year. But to be honest, on quite a number of occasions, some fans have had a right to feel cheated.
We are not in any way questioning the integrity of France Football, but what we know is that, sometimes, the award has gone to players who were not the most deserving that year. And in this video, we bring you 6 very controversial Ballon d’Or winners
Lionel Messi, 2021
Yes. Messi fans may hate us for this one because it’s still very fresh. But think about it, did Messi really outdo Robert Lewandowski in 2021?
Okay yes, they both crashed out early in the Champions League, but Lewandowski did better for his club everywhere else. He won the Bundesliga and the Club World Cup as the best player in both tournaments. Not to forget the DFL Super Cup he won in August scoring 2 goals in that final.
Messi, on the other hand, won just the Copa del Rey with Barcelona. And yes, he won the league’s Golden Boot, but Lewandowski also did. And even did it better. The Polish striker outscored every other player in European leagues, thereby clinching the European Golden Shoe together with his Bundesliga Golden Boot.
If we’re talking goal contributions, Lewandowski was definitely clear of every other player in 2021. And if we’re talking trophies, Jorginho was clear of everybody else. He not only won trophies, but he won the biggest ones available this year.
So, how France Football ended up with Lionel Messi, we just will never know.

  • The 2013 one isn't as scandalous as you might think. The top 3 that year were Ronaldo, Messi and Ribery - all 3 are forwards. Ronaldo had more goal contributions that year than Messi and Ribery combined. That is why he won it, because he was overwhelmingly the best player of that season individually.

It's Argentina's first trophy in 28 years. A much bigger achievement than the bundesliga, which Bayern win every year

    • In Lewandowski's case his impact was mostly seen where he didn't play - Bayern's games against PSG and Poland's flop against 2nd squad of Hungary. Also, Lewy's goal contribution (goals + assists per all goals of club and country) in 2021 is bigger than Messi's.

  • For the guys who are mentioning the 2013 and 2019 Ballon D'or 2013 Ballon D'or : Ronaldo didn't win any major trophy and won whereas Ribery won the Treble (UCL, League and League Cup) and still finished 3rd in Ballon D'or Voting. Ronaldo and Ribery were both wingers/wide players that year. Ronaldo scored 59 goals for Madrid that year and Ribery scored 16 goals for Bayern. In the 2012/13 UCL, Ronaldo was top scorer with 12 goals whereas Ribery only scored 1 goal. Ronaldo was without a doubt the best player at Madrid in the 2012/13 season and the only one keeping them competitive. I agree Ribery was the best player at Bayern during the 2012/13 season but was Robben, Lahm and Neuer that far from him. They were also as important as Ribery to that Bayern team's success. 2019 Ballon D'or : Van Dijk won the UCL, finished runner's up in the Nations League and runner's up in the League (1 point) but still finished 2nd to Leo Messi who had only won La Liga that year. Messi scored 51 goals from 50 games for Barca in 2018/19. Was the Top Scorer in the League and UCL. He was by far the best player at Barca and the only one who was keeping them competitive on all fronts right till the end. I do agree Van Dijk had one of the best seasons a defender has had in recent memory but was Van Dijk carrying that Liverpool team like Messi carried Barca? Was the likes of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Allisson that far from Van Dijk during that season? They were also as important as Van Dijk to that Liverpool team's success. When Messi and Ronaldo retire, we all will truly realize how great they were season after season for such a long time...

Winning Copa America after so many tries is not in favour of Messi. Scoring 3 goals against 70+ FIFA ranked Bolivia (equivalent of UEFA's Israel who didn't qualify to Euro2020) is not much of a feat.

  • You literally made a video 2 days ago comparing Lewandowski and Messi in terms of stats. While very close, Messi was better in terms of stats. And while Lewandowski may have won more trophies, that's not convincing enough, because Messi won a trophy with a trashy Barcelona side, and of coursewon the Copa America. Now I'll give you an example how ludicrous it would be, if he had not won. Take for example Sterling, if he had scored 42 goals, made 19 assists, won the FA Cup, and won the Euros. No one in their right mind would take Lewandowski over Sterling in this hypothetical world. And to top it off, Messi's average grade over the 20/21 season was 8.52 and Lewandowski 8.07.

I do agree with you guys, that France Football needs to put some clarity on what is more important in order to win this price. Major trophies, or statistics, or a combination of both?. In my opinion the best would be a combination of both. Because, if it is based only on statistics, Messi should have won it 9 times by now, and no, that is not a joke, nor a statement to make you aggravated. If you have watched football over the last 15 years, and remember each year, you'll know that almost every year, Messi was ahead in goals. The year Rolando was ahead, Messi still beat him in overall goal contributions. No in no way shape or form, did Messi not deserve it. It was a close call, and het just got ahead of the beast Lewandowski.

  • The ballon d'or has never been based on performance, it has merely happend by coincidence. It is based on popular opinion (votes) and not a point system, where every statistic is meticulously calculated. 1 Goalkeeper has ever won the ballon d'or and 3 defenders. Considering you have had defenders like Nesta, Cafu, Maldini, Jaap Stam, and goalkeepers like Buffon, Schmeicel, Oliver Kahn, van der Sar, all of whom has been instrumental on both club and international level (and none whom have won Ballon d'or). It is pretty clear that the ballon d'or is simply a trophy awarded to the most popular offensive player.

  • Ribery had the best season as a team player, sure. but individual awards are given for individual performance, if Ronaldo had not scored more than Messi and Ribery combined overall + UCL, then Ribery would have won it. I get why bayern fans are upset coz Ribery certainly had a dramatic season, but Ronaldo was complete that year, with a not so good team as they seemed out of sink in 2012 and 2013, yet Ronaldo performed amazing in both years. Its the same situation as in 2012, Ronaldo had an incredible season, if you just saw his stats without looking at Messi's you'd be convinced that he should win the ballon d'or but Messi simple destroyed Ronaldo that season, so it wasn't that Ronaldo did not deserve, simply that Messi deserved it more. Same thing for 2013.

  • Why are titles even considered when rating a player's individual performance. So long as he plays in one of the major leagues in Europe his personal stats should really stand out above anything else. That's includes dribbles and assists for example... so no, Iniesta 2010, Modric 2018 and Ribery 2013 did not deserve Ballon D'or. Lewandowski should have one it 2020. I don't know why they dont just give him the 2020 Ballon D'or like they did with Pele. There was nothing hard about doing that.

Contributed 43 g/a (which may not be the right numbers) in 55 games for a LM like him which is actually impressive. Ribery also ended the 2012/13 CL season as the top assist and even, assisted in Bayern’s 2-1 victory against BVB and eventually won the UEFA men’s best player of the year. He even went on to win MOTM in the uefa super cup against Chelsea and the CWC player of the tournament.

  • Balond'Or has no standard operating system, it is truly a political award. I seriously think the voting is rigged. Instead of people voting the player, there should be certain point system based on the goals scored, assists, chances created, interceptions, mvp of the match, and saves made. If all these stats are indicated by points, it will even encourage the players to do their best because they'd know their tally throughout. Until such standard operating system is laid it will forever be controversial due to which the credibility of the former winners will always be questioned.

Voted as second best player at the world cup, just behind Forlan. And top scorer at the world cup together with muller, forlan and Villa. He also played the finals in 2010 world cup. Argentina and Messi lost to Germany 4 - 0 in the quarter finals... Sneijder won literally every price he could win that year, being the best and most instrumental player of the best and most successful team of that year.. If you are voted to be the best player of the team that won every price domestic and European + you outperform at the world cup. No thought in my mind he should've won! He had 5 pieces of silver and Messi had 2 that year. Enough said and in the head to head duels Messi lost and in every other competition Inter and Sneijder performed better than Barcelona and Messi... Messi didn't even score one goal at the world cup in 2010. He even has a negative record... Lionel Messi recorded 29 shots at the 2010 World Cup but did not score a goal, the most of any player at a single World Cup without scoring since this data is available (1966) You can love Messi as much as you want, so do I. But he has won 2-3 ballon d'ors purely because he's Messi. This year exactly the same. Nobody gives a shit about Inter Miami and his time at PSG was mediocre at best. If not Sneijder in 2010, it should've been Iniesta then... Actually if they would've voted with the old system, Sneijder would've won by a landslide... Sneijder's success was appreciated by the journalists who were invited to vote for the 2010 Ballon d'Or. He earned 293 points from that section of the votes, enough to put him top of the pile ahead of Iniesta (226), Xavi (229) and Messi (175). Sneijder would have won under previous rules In any year before 2010, that would have meant Sneijder won the award, but this was a special occasion as it was the first year in which the Ballon d'Or was taken over by FIFA, who invited players and managers to chip in as well. What started off as a recognition of accomplishment quickly turned into a glorified popularity contest, with most of the new voters deciding that Messi, who admittedly was probably the best player on the planet at the time, deserved the award ahead of Sneijder. Sure, Sneijder didn't have the kind of otherworldly class that Messi possessed at the time, but that's not the point. The award was supposed to honour the man that had the best year. And that didn't happen.

    • Not even close, the ONLY reason sneijder came even CLOSE to winning the balon d’or (if it wasant Messi it should have been Xavi or iniesta) was because he had a decent run on both clubs and NT, he was not even the best player in goddamn inter, it was milito, the idea that THAT guy had a better season in terms of individual performance than any of the top 3 is ridiculous, he wasant a protagonist, he wasant a top scorer or assist (had extremely bad numbers in 2010) and wasant nearly as important or impactful as Messi Messi was the heart of Barcelona, the best team in the world, he had a better 2010 than 2009, giving it to some random midfielder because he for some chance was in both champions league and in the NT runner up to WC is just ridiculous There are 3 important things: protagonist, titles and numbers, sneijder only had 1 of these, meanwhile Messi had 2

    • @@WewetaIt's not about impact, it's not about talent. Sneijder was the most successful player of that year. He won nearly everything that was winnable. I'm not saying Sneijder is a better player than them. But that season he did play better than them. Tons of players have 1 or 2 seasons where they are stellar. This was Sneijder's stellar year. And the barcelona boys won less, lost head to head to him and Messi had a worthless worldcup. 29 shots, 0 goals. A negative record to this day. Not one player did worse than Messi since the 60's. That's how bad he was. Sneijder was extremely impactful for Inter that season. He was one of the key players of them winning the treble. On top of that he was also elected as best player in Inter and the entire Serie A. He was also elected as best midfielder of that year, ironically ahead of Xavi and Iniesta... If you think winning everything you can win in a year + runners up with The Netherlands( not a superpower like Argentina or Spain). And he wasn't part of the success, but an instrumental piece of it. If you think that is "decent", then I don't know what is good for you... Sneijder was the best of 2010 and if they didn't change the voting system that year he would've won. But they made it into a popularity contest and since then. There have been several instances where the best PERFORMING player of that seasons didn't win. But the most TALENTED player won. Wether you like it or not, the facts are the facts. Sneijder was the best performing player of 2010. He won everything continental and domestic and came in 2nd at the worldcup as one of the minor top nations in the world. If they would've given the ball to Xavie or Iniesta, people wouldn't complain. But messi winning 2010 makes no sense. Messi won the last ballon d'or only and because of the world cup. And let's be honest, he wasn't amazing at the world cup. In general Penaltina was painful to watch and they way they conducted themselves during the tournament, including messi, was appaling and not a positive commercial for the game. That's my opinion, you are allowed to have another one. But at least stay consequent and objective. You are clearly a barca fanboy, that's ok. That doesn't mean you have to belittle everything that isn't Barca.

    • @@FragLord I skipped all the bs and went right to the last argument and holy $hit, Argentina was painful to watch? Penalti a? You could win 5000 champions league and I wouldn’t come close to the value of a World Cup too Argentina was by far the best team of the tournament, it dominated every game playing a offensive style of football, just look at their goal against France, it was INSANE, pure talent and teamwork You also completely missed the fact that every single Spanish player has a better claim to the ballon d’or than sneijder

  • Obviously goal didnt do any research on the stats of messi vs low for the 2020-2021 season.. messi have the most assist, most man of the match, complete more dribbles than LOW more chance created, more pass completed, low score more goals than messi but created more gaols, messi also got the most goals in copa american and player of the tournament.. plus the eye test would tell you who was the better player..
