I still don't understand the criteria for this ridiculous award cuz :

Jorginho have more trophies this year than  Messi

Lewandowski have more goals this year than Messi 

Messi is laughing stock in farmers league. Not in top 100 for me.

and more trophies

plus, like I said is scoring at a greater rate than that crazy 2011/12 Messi season

 Anyway we know the truth  😉

You lot realise these are votes by players and journalists? 
 

Criteria is bound  to change as this award is completely subjective. 

[Jase 43,479]

Of course Messi won the Ballon d'Or. Lewandowski got robbed for the second year running.

Mendy should also have won the Goalkeeper of the Year award. 

All of this is really a bloody fucking popularity contest!

[milka 3,349]

People complaining at a player that won the two biggest trophies in the sport getting 3rd as they celebrate a man that won a Copa America and domestic cup

Football is in a very bad place currently.  Sane people outnumbered by calculator merchants.

I'm surprised Salah got as low down as he did. Know didn't win anything but as a individual...he's been amazing really! 

Can't argue with where Jorghio ended up...tbh surprised be was 3rd. Again won things but as a player himself..not exactly been blowing people away. 

Mendy however.. he has been good!!!

[MoroccanBlue 5,318]

Whether it be now or a few years from now, I fully expect UEFA to reinstate the 2020 award and give it to Lewandowski.

in his last 2 and a half seasons (vastly reduced minutes too, only 5100 or so TOTAL club minutes over the past year and a half) for club and country (Messi at peak was rocking 6000 to 6500minutes in ONE season for club and country)

Lewa has 147 goals, 29 assists for club and country (and he carries a shit Polish team, unlike Messi with Argentina)

Lewa won a linear Sextuple, 8 trophies, FIFA global striker of the year, broke Muller's Bundesliga goals record

European Golden Shoe: 2020–21
The Best FIFA Men's Player: 2020
FIFA FIFPro World11: 2020
FIFA Club World Cup Golden Ball: 2020
IFFHS World's Best Man Player: 2020, 2021
IFFHS World's Best Top Goal Scorer: 2020
IFFHS Men's World Team: 2020

over same span:

Messi has NO league titles, NO euro trophies, Barca in shambles,

he has one club trophy, a Copa del Rey 

and now finally won the Copa America against the weakest field since the mid 1970's

last 2 full seasons were his worst stats years since the 2007/2008 season

and this season, until last game (against a dregs Saint-Etienne side when he got 3 assists, and that was AFTER this vote was long done)

had ONE league goal (against Nantes), and NO league assists

he now has 4 goals, 3 assists all comps

 

yet

 

Lewa walks with NO Ballon d'Or for either year (he surely wins it next year at the insane rate he is scoring at now)

Pessi is GIFTED a 7th

 

what a fucking JOKE

Popularity contest. Messi did next to nothing for months at PSG

[Atomiswave 6,072]
