So Messi won the most coveted prize in world football? Well it’s about time. Messi has been a victim of his own success, and I’m glad the football governing body has acknowledged this.
I get confused when sometimes CR7 or even Modric wins it. Why? Their team won the CL. But that doesn’t make them the best, does it? For example, how would you claim CR7 is better than Messi because he won the league but is pale in comparison to Messi’s numbers? That’s not right!
Personally, I haven’t seen any player better than Messi in the last ten years: what he does on the pitch is insane. Because he does the magic week in week out doesn’t make it less magical. I feel some of us have become numb to it, but we can’t point to any other player that does close to it.
Glad FIFA The Best has broken away from the Ballon D’Or. How can you value the opinions of journalists over that of professional players, coaches and even ardent fans?
Congratulations to Messi!
FIFA: THE BEST

Messi a victim of his own success ?
Really ?
Because he doesnt win every single award in football ?
Lets be honest, his fame and success has served him quite well.
If he were any ordinary citizen, hed probably be in prison FFS.

Agree with the OP. For about 3 years Messi was on another planet, but now he has declined a bit from that level but still by far the best in the world he doesn't get the awards? Doesn't make sense to me

CR7 didn't put him in his top 3 !......says a lot.

Yes that he still hasn't got himself any class. Grown man and sulking like a baby because most people still won't choose him, no matter how many records he breaks. Just can't hack that a mojority of football fans say Messi is best.
He was probably extra grumpy when choosing after being told he wasn't allowed to pick himself. Incredulous at the idea the question could possibly even be answered, without saying his name. Biggest to ever grace a pitch.
