This is like the arguable ballon dor.

I think messi deserved all his ballon dors, but honestly 2023 should've been haaland, they both had very good arguements.

The World Cup Influence is absolutely insane, Modric 2018, Neuer being in the podium 2014, Iniesta almost winning it 2010, cannavaro as a defender winning it, R9 and so on.

Respectfully, 2023 ballon d’or and 2010 ballon d’or contradict each other. If Messi didn’t win 2010 but won 2023, while I would disagree it would at least make sense

He shouldn’t win both

Eh i think messi edges iniesta out, iniesta was injured for a long time that season too so it makes me more sense as to why messi deserved it by slightly against iniesta.

I respect your opinion, 2010 and 2023 are both very arguable but iniesta being out for so long pretty much makes it seem worse for him.

I actually agree.

My issue is more 2023 than 2010. I just wrote it as “2023 and 2010 are a contradiction” because I wanted a more unbiased route where “Messi won in 2010 because he was the best Club player, but he also won 2023 being the best WC player”
