marketing, he was the perfect player to give the award inside the Eiffel Tower for the cameras

generating ad revenue

...

>calling someone a sad fuck of a failure while you sit on Sup Forums talkimg shit
oh no no NO NO

he did nothing except play
as the most complete attacker in football history, and one of the most complete players of all time, all CR7 had to do was to keep doing what he has always done, and which very few of his peers can come close to accomplishing

this + horse number #1 for nike football

who even gives a fuck about who wins the ballon d'or besides third world fanboys on social media
football is a team sport

just let him have one last moment before the quick and brutal decline really starts

Its an award distributed by a fucking magazine what do you expect? They are going to want the better marketed player. Also if Messi cared about these awards and took his rivalry seriously with Ronaldo he would have more of these shit awards. The problem with that manlet is that he just plays for fun and doesnt take rivalries seriously likes TSU does hence the outcome.

>the call that saved divegrass

>he did nothing except play
as the most complete attacker in football history, and one of the most complete players of all time

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
THAT FLAGGGG

if messi cared he would've surely played well in those big games he choked away

>this is what messhitters uironically tell themselves

Is not Balloon dOor somekind of popularity contest or something? They even explicitly said that the winner is determined by Journalists vote.

the award lost all merit when it was changed from being the best player in the eyes of your peers playing and coaching against you, to being the best player in the eyes of the media

who cares, just watch them play you fucking faggots

Good CL final

idk maybe it was the fact that he had a trick against bayer in ko stages of ucl,a hatrick against atletico in ko stages and a double against juve in the ucl final?or maybe it was the fact that he scored the winning goal in the spain supercup against barca in august????idk man i wonder why

words of wisdom

> expecting Sup Forums to know one fucking thing about football

Le score offside goal man

it was journalists+players+managers for a while

some people argued a captain from Malaysia can't know anything about football.
but check who the journalists voted for and then check who the players+managers vote for and it's obvious who have a clue.

journalists thought Michael Owen was the best in the world one year. And Shevchenko. Then they have their token keepers and defensive midfielders but it's so obvious they don't know anything

remove the offside and deflected goals and his total goals number is reduced by 2/3

Ding Ding Ding

>ronaldo wins
>who cares, popularity contest anyway
>messi wins
>lol, he is the goat, penaldos on tap in watch

stay salty

romania knows what's up

lol, are you a salty croissant or a jelly croissant? Did Eder bully you personally?

don't forget the Americans but yeah

I just like to shitpost desu

Remove the penalties also

>the anhilator of APOEL

cronaldo vs messi is a marketing plot for nike vs adidas

the ballon dor should be a unique trophy one that you can't win twice but france football gave 3 to platini so they can get fucked now

>as the most complete attacker in football history,
agreed

>and one of the most complete players of all time
disagreed

>Messi doesn’t win champions league, gets award
>FUK IT WHO CARES ANYWAY IT IS POINTLESS
Salt at its finest

why? it rewards the best player of the season. it isn't a "goat status" trophy.

>why? it rewards the best player of the season.
then why is it given now and not at the end of the season

the biggest thing i find wrong with the ballon d’or is when its awarded. give it in july or august, not december

organizing a ceremony when people are on holiday? kek

>your flag
Shut up, Daquan.

then what about before a season starts?

Remember when Blatter extended the vote in 2013 because of "not enough" votes?

what do you mean senpai?

before the first match of this season

What do you mean senpai

Ballon d'Or stopped being awarded to the best football player after journalism/social media/casual fans, etc lost interest in watching, year after year, yet another edition of "Messiwinslol".
Real Madrid, ManU and other big clubs started openly showing their disconfort and CR even started straight up bitching at the award. And guess what, they represent the marketing side of football at its maximum expression. Literally. Their bandwagoning fanbase are the biggest in the world. The sales, sales, sales.
So, when FIFA saw numbers/viewership taking a huge hit, and that noone gave much of a shit anymore at an award that, as long as Messi keeps kicking a ball, could only be awarded to him (even in his worst form he's two steps above ANY other active player), they naturally changed the paradigm.
So, for some editions now, the award is given to the most popular face of the team that won the most. Period. (No, not even the best players or those with more impact in acheiveing the title/s... you think they'll sell that many Marcelo, Ramos and Modrić shirts? Kek. Look at all the magazine covers we've seen, the ads... They NEED the sort of image that CR sells, to feed the audience outside world football. Not fucking rat-faced Modrić!)

Anyway, this gave the futbol casuals a false sense of parity between the best players/biggest faces in football, and now they can't wait to see next edition of the award, so that shiny round thingy can tell us who's the best ever without us being forced to watch football!!!!!

there are 3 players that automatically can get a ballon d'or if they win an international trophy even if they score less goals than other players

messi, cr7 and neymar.

ballon d'or isn't corrupted anyway.
everytime messi and cr7 won the ballon d'or they were top scorers in the cl and in the liga.

I think the give Donaldo the thophie just to match Messi. Neither of them will win it next years. Nerman will. In 2019: mbappe

are you all dumb? if the ballon dor is handed over the best player of the season then they should give it before the new season starts so we wouldnt have ronaldo scoring 2 goals in la liga and geting the trophy

m8 we are all third world fanboys on social media

>there are 3 players that automatically can get a ballon d'or if they win an international trophy even if they score less goals than other players
>messi, cr7 and neymar.

That's right. That's the new paradigm: biggest face of the team that won the "big title"

>everytime messi and cr7 won the ballon d'or they were top scorers in the cl and in the liga.
That's the thing, is not about who scores the most; that's like, the answer my 6 year old nephew would give if I asked him "who should receive an award for best player in your school?"
It's about brilliance, relative weight, changing the pace of a game at the will of your personal plays by dribbling, passing, assisting, scoring, and/or a combination of all. PRODUCING. Not just "being there for when the rest of team produces greatly", even if you're in terrible form.

In sum, it should always go to the guy playing the best individual football in the world in service of a team that may or may not be in championship form. That WAS the old paradigm.

>>who cares, popularity contest anyway
>>lol, he is the goat, penaldos on tap in watch
not mutually exclusive

TSUUUUUUUUUUUUU

as if it had any influence at all. everytime messi or cr7 won a ballon d'or they deserved it.

my god that face, he looks like a 50 years old man with a face lifting

Daddy

u guys are retarded/ u know what comes after december 2017? 2018. its for a whole year

>Best performance ever in the second round of CL
>Why did he win lmao?
Are you guys even serious?

>score 20 goals in a year in the champions league
>single-handedly grab your team kicking and screaming through the champions league knock-out stages
>didn't deserve the balon d'or

lmao is this how desperate the seething fraudssi fags are?

sorry lads, scoring 3 tapins and 5 penalties against eibar and getafe isnt enough to win the balon d'or. maybe fraudssi can win it again when he manages more than 4 (F O U R) champions league goals in calendar year.

...

this

same goes for MVP and Hall of Fame debates

Sneijder? This one was clearly a steal.

>giving him an award for best player of the year for 3 games

>championes league knockout
>3 games

american brainlet

Players that scored against Napoli

>Benzema
>Ramos
>Kroos
>Casemiro
>Martens
>Morata

no Cristiano

There are 4 knockout games, he scored in 3, got the award. Fucking britbottles. Why do I even bother responding to such horrid posters?

That's how it always worked. You are the best in the most important games of the season? You win the ballon d'or.

WC>CL>Euro/Copa america>top 4 league

There's no WC/Euro/Copa? Being the best in CL is guaranteed ballon d'or. And what Ronaldo did in CL is historical. This record might never fall.

>There are 4 knockout games,

lmoa no there arent you absolute moron

Aren't they cute? That whole year the talk was "How in the fuck is this guy still starting for Real Madrid" and "Time for the MLS". Fans booing him in the stadium because of how much of a dead weight he was. He even had to tell to the press that he wanted RM fans to stop whistling at him, as we can all remember.
EXACTLY the same as the two years before that, and EXACTLY the same as this year. Then a couple miracles kept RM (Portugal as well) in the run for a title and the TEAM stepped up in the last couple of games, to somehow get the title.

>"I'm the best player ever!!"

Literally CR's history in a nutshell

>5 goals in CL Quarter-Finals vs Bayern
>3 goals in CL Semi-Finals vs Atletico
>2 goals in CL Final vs Juventus

Hurrrr why does Ronaldo statpad against the shitty teams all the time? Never turns up in the big games hurrr.

>leaf

>yfw one of Messi/Cristiano/Nerman could die and they'd still get top 3 in the Balloon Door

MMMMMMMM no sweetie

>messi only scored 4 (F O U R) goals in the champions league in 2017

>who even gives a fuck that future generations are going to believe for decades to come a top 10 player of all time (at most) is as good/better than a (at least) top 5 player ever

Except we live in the 21st century, Messi's and Ronaldo's entire careers are well documented. My future great grandson little Johnny Al-Soma will be able to view all their footage with his VR device at the click of his fingers and judge for himself

messi was the cl top scorer

of my """"historical performances/goals"""", the marketing machine is safe. They'll buy my shirts and even defend me on chinese drawing forums.

Be thankful I decided not to include the "hard to watch" part, AKA full matches/highlights where we get to see him fucking up chance after chance after chance served to him by the actual guys behind RM titles.

Just look at this thread to see how many people only care to watch RM games.

those are massive chokers team desu

yeah, except that he's going to watch compilations of skills, look at the stat sheet and biased narratives of how a certain man carried """shit teams""" on his back while being the top scorer and make his decision while never watching a single full game in his life. Well, at least he'll TSUUU for you whenever you need some form of entertainment

This trophy lost all prestige.

A bit like Pele eh?

Has it EVER had any prestige? Maradona never won it but players like Owen did win it just because they are European

This trophy has being pro-European biased since the very start, if it was objective there is no way Messi and Cristiano could have the same amount

kek his goals are shit, i always hate watching his videos

it's the opposite imo. because it was awarded for 10 years to goats, people think the trophy became an unaccessible trophy that you only deserve it if you are the goat.

Woah

>the chicano has showed up with his sqwaka stats

Screencapped this coz its the truth. The award is distributed by a magazine for fucks sake

Im a messifag but you cant forget that Sneijder won the fucking treble. Also 2013 was a steal

>B-But missi goals dont matter because theyre against small spanish sides
Doesnt Ronaldo play the same teams as the manlet?

>Letting the french handle a football award

The absolute state of our world

treble are memes

france is going to cuck brazil at the world AGAIN

...

Fucking based

>a furry pickpocket

Ronaldo is like steph curry,
Messi is like Jordan
Tap ins/chuck 3s
Creates plays and finish them yourself/air motherfucking jordan
That is all

This guy gets it
Messiwinslol is objective reality and the customers don't like reality

Why though?What about the sextuple(6 trophies)?

This award has simply gone to the player named Messi or Ronaldo whose team does better for the last 10 years.

>Ronaldo statpads
>but Messi should have got this Balon Dor. why? because he statpadded against Eibar
lmao

I bet you’re as much of a bitter sounding incel in real life as on here. Like imagine actually being so pathetically sad as to come up with something like this.
