46 goals and assists in 39 apps for Barca in the league and CL, as well as nine goals for Argentina on the way to the Copa America golden boot and player of the tournament.

But yeah, apart from that, what did he do?

Let's not be subjective about this. I've looked up the very rigorous criteria for the award. It reads as follows:

1. The Ballon d'Or shall be awarded to the individual who is most famous for being the world's best footballer.
2. In the event that two individuals are widely regarded as the world's best footballer, the one who's team won most will be selected.
3. In a World Cup year the most famous individual for being a very good footballer in the team winning the World Cup may be considered as an alternative.
4. If the individual(s) most famous for being the world's best footballer has had a stinker of a season, the award should go to the the most famous individual for being a very good footballer in the team which won the most high profile competition. Alternatively, it can be awarded to an individual who is not the most famous very good footballer in his team if he wins both the CL and a continental national championship. Unless it happens to someone like Alvaro Arbeloa. Then everyone would just laugh at us.

Glad to have clarified.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Players in diddy countries need not apply because that would be counter to the deity of currency to which FIFA, UEFA and the big 5 leagues are beholden. Not even token representation will be allowed.

Fair bit of shiite on that list to be truthful.

Never be salah.

Salah only has 48million insta followers.

He cant even win poty over conaldo unless conaldonis not nominated.

Obviously Messi will win it. He won the Copa America. The fact he had an average season at Barca and has done nothing at PSG is irrelevant.

Was it an average season? I mean it was average by his standards I guess.

Lewandowski or Salah.

Heard rumours Messi had won it, even taking away my anti drug cheat tax dodging manlet bias, what has he facking done this year? Did nothing with Barca and has choked his move away from the safety and comfort of "play entirely to Messi's strengths ball" at Barca.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is that a joke?

Didn’t he too nearly every stat going plus won the copa

dunno what this lads been watching but it aint football anyway.

Messi led all the stats in copa and dragging a rank argentina team through (finally)

scored masses of goals for barca as usaul which bascially saved them from being out of CL.

what else does the guy want?

Jorginho winning it would be just trying to fit the most successful player into it, rather than the best player. Lewandowski should win it, he deserved it the season before.

had culer won this too. i hear he's soared to new levels of popularity nobody thought possible.

I think it should be among the two Champions League finalists from last year so Foden, Dias or Kante.
