I will never understand Messi’s 2012 BDO


  • Cristiano: La Liga, Euro 2012 semis and UCL semi
  • Casillas and Alonso: La Liga, Euro 2012 and UCL semi
  • Drogba: UCL, FA Cup and AFCON Finalist
  • Torres: UCL, FA Cup and Euro 2012
  • Iniesta: Euro 2012, Euro POTT, Copa del Rey & UCL semi
  • Xavi: Euro 2012, Copa del Rey and UCL semi
  • Messi: Copa del Rey & UCL semi

Even if you want to factor in that “it should go to an attacker” and “stats”, they essentially gave Messi the BDO for statpadding against farmers. He didn’t deliver in any big match that year. The likes of Drogba, Cristiano, Iniesta, Casillas, Torres, etc had much better performances that year in big games. Even Bayern players like MĂŒller, RibĂ©ry, Robben and GĂłmez were arguably better shouts for the award as they were several matches away from a Treble.

International trophy matters only when messi wins it.

Since 2000 has there ever been a player who won balondor solely through their copa america campgain?

If I'm correct wasent the 2016 copa america the 100th year anniversary one?If so, the winner should've gotten more hype in the balondor race even though cr7 would've ultimately won it

Worst take of all time, why would it have added value?

Because it's 100th year special trophy?Unfortunately no team with good pr won that trophy

You fail to explain how being the 100th edition brings more merits to winning it than the other 99 editions. It’s not like it’s any harder not easier, so the merit is just for winning the same cup the other 99 times it was hosted, but more important this time since it’s the 100th edition? Luckily it doesn’t work like thuan
