Lionel Messi has won his 4th consecutive Ballon D'Or. He has beaten team-mate Andres Iniesta and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo to the award. He is the first player in the history of football to win 4 Ballons D'Or. He won the award in 2009,2010,2011 and 2012. The Ballon D'Or is the award given to the best footballer of the year. Many players had a great 2012. Such as Robin van Persie, Isco and Didier Drogba etc. I think that Messi deserved this award. Although he didn't win the La Liga or Champions League, he still got the award. His Barcelona side won the Copa del Rey. They were knocked out of the champions league by eventual champions Chelsea and finished 9 points behind rivals Real Madrid in La Liga. Messi is a phenomenal player and 100% deserves the award. He broke Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals in a calender year by scoring 91 goals for club and country.
Ronaldo wasn't very pleased with Messi winning the award.
Are you pleased with Messi winning the award ?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am pleased because he deserved plus someone had to win 4 consecutive Ballon's D'Or.
DeleteMessi shouldn't have won. It should've been Iniesta because he played amazingly throughout the year of 2012. Where as messi had some big moments.
ReplyDeleteIniesta was great, but i think that Lionel Messi achieved much higher than Iniesta. Although Iniesta had an amazing Euro 2012 campaign. Messi was better.
