You say that Messi did not help PSG much, but how do you explain that Messi was the second best scorer in Ligue 1 with I think 1 point behind Mbappe? Do you call that "not much of a help"? I think that is a huge exaggeration and Messi did contribute a lot to PSG's small successes, but they did not win the Champions League and this is what the fans blame him for, which is of course ridiculous.

I like them both Haaland and Messi and since I am a fan of Messi, I would still be happy for him if he wins it, but if Haaland is the chosen one, I would also say tha the right player received the award.

Sometimes I'm surprised by the people who say bad things about Messi. What this means is that FIFA may appear to support Messi, but can Messi then be criticized and said that he is incompetent? I agree with some of the users' arguments about whether or not Messi deserves the Ballon D'Or this year. Messi is a great player. People don't like seeing Messi because he is a Ronaldo fan? Seriously, I love these two legends and I'm happy to be able to live in their era.

Well said as there is nothing to complain about when Messi wins another FIFA award or Ballon D'Or. The point is that Messi has countless of fans around the world and also among journalists and football officials from the large associations. It is quite normal that at some point his reputation and recognition is set in stone and people love him for how he still played and how he has played in the past. Psychologically I understand when is hardcore fans feel that he should become it again and honestly, I think Messi is still the best player in the world who now lacks speed. But his skills as a player on the pitch are unmatched in my opinion.
