Lionel Messi Gives His Honest Opinion On This Year's Ballon d'or
Lionel Messi has given his honest opinion on this year's Ballon d'Or, describing the possibility of winning the prize for a seventh time as "crazy".

Despite playing in a poor Barcelona side last season, Messi still banged in the goals and then captained Argentina to a long-awaited Copa America triumph in the summer.

He collected both the Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards and though he's not set the world alight in his new surroundings at Paris Saint-Germain, the 34-year-old is the favourite to win the gong yet again.

But interestingly, Messi isn't so sure about his chances of being named as the winner by Football and isn't too fussed if he does not come out on top.

Messi won his 6th Balon D'or in 2019
"If I'm honest, I don't think so [he can win it]," Messi itted in a wide-ranging interview with SPORT, as per The Mirror.

"My biggest prize was what I was able to achieve with the national team. After having fought and fought so much for that achievement, it was the best for all it cost.

"If the golden ball arrives it would be extraordinary for what it would mean winning one more. The seventh would be crazy. If not, nothing happens

"I have already achieved one of my great goals. I am very happy for what happened and now that whatever has to happen, happens."


Messi's last Ballon d'Or win came in 2019 and he has already talked about the strong competition for this year's award, namechecking teammates Neymar and Kylian Mbappe, as well as Robert Lewandowski and Karim Benzema.

“In my team, there are two for whom I will easily vote: Neymar and Kylian Mbappé," Messi told Football.

"And then Robert Lewandowski, who has just had a great year and Karim Benzema who was excellent."


Football journalists, coaches and captains of national teams all have a say in voting for the Ballon d'Or, which was first introduced in 1956.

The winner of the 2021 instalment will be announced later this month on 29 November at Paris' Theatre du Chatelet.

Dear fellow darling comrades, who is your greatest of all time? And a very humble one at that?
Like for Messi, share for Messi.
No space for some local goats.

PS

Don't be surprised to see those mediocres hyping one local goat flood this thread with hateful comments. Signs of obsession.
Messi is the man their tap-er can never be.

What has he done since this season started? 0 goals, 0 assists.
So he wants to win Balon D'Or with a half season performance where he wasn't even the best??

Deluded dwarf

What has he done this season?
Please don't be deluded.

He won 2 major trophies, both on club and country.
He won the best player in laliga, as well as the golden boot.
Won the best player in Copa America as well as winning the highest goalscorer award, and assists too.
These are the things that are relevant.

The fact that he's had a slow start in paris doesn't change anything. The 5 matches he's failed to score aren't even important. He's scored on more important matches in the UCL.

Meanwhile, Cr7 is currently in better form than messi. But it is safe to say he would be nowhere near messi in that list. I even doubt if he'll be among the top 5s.

Giving it to Messi the 7th time would be the most controversial decision ever! What did he achieve in the last one year--maybe the COPA America; but certainly not enough.
