Apart from scoring 1 goal more than Messi, Mubappe's performance was nowhere near the level of Messi's – not only in the final, but throughout the entire World Cup
What is Frank smoking 😂
Haaland should win it easily. You can't give it to messi just because he turned up for a 3-week tournament.
Maybe next time Alvarez 🤣
Yeah let’s not give it to the guy who had the best season of all time in the hardest league in the world.
Why would Mbappe deserve it. He was not even in the game against Argentina didn't show up against England didn't notice him against Morocco and is never very good in champions league. He must score more penalty's than anyone in history seems like every game he gets one and is playing in very weak league. Mbappe is not a top player he is highly overrated but gets away with it in a very good French team no he doesn't deserve it
Lol
Mbappe is nowhere closer to get it than the WC champ Messi….as a matter of fact this time around, Haaland by far would be a better choice than Mbappe.
Ballon dor is sh…t and Kilyan was the best player of the world cup .
Should be Halland
If anything Haaland should deserve it
only one has scored thrice in the world cup final😁😁😁😁
Imagine a full time journalist saying Alvarez should win the Balon d’or. Balon d’or is the best player that year not who won everything
Frank "Absolutely Fantastic" Lebouef
Has to be Haaland
No one deserves the Balon D'or than Haaland.
I will continue to say, Mbappe will NEVER win Balon D'or with PSG.
Nope.
What about rodri who also won the quadruple? 3 cups with city and the nations league??
Nope…Messi deserve it
Mbappé. This is bulljives
in 2010 Iniesta won the World Cup with Spain scored the winning goal in Finales and won the league with Messi but some how lost the Balorn d or to Messi who only had the league
So this year in terms of who should get it i would put Rodri coz he won 4 trophies while Messi only has 2 world cup and Ligue 1 but in terms of individual accomplishments Mbappe and Haaland shud be in the conversation coz Mbappe was Young player of the tournament at the World Cup and top goal score as well ….in league he was the Top goal scorer and the Player of the Season as well
While Haaland won Player of the Season,Young player of the Season,Top goal scorer,UEFA top goal scorer,UEFA FOWARD OF THE YEAR and was in YEFA team of the season
so in in short Rodri and Haaland one of them deserves it than Messi but since Messi is a public figure and most famous among the rest of the competitors he will get it although he doesn’t deserves it
Same status yes in terms of numbers but are we forgetting that one of these players play in the toughest league in the world? While the other two play in a farmers league. You got to give the ballon dor to Haaland
