Hard words!
DAZN expert Sandro Wagner (33) makes it clear that the six-time world footballer Lionel Messi (34) did NOT deserve to take the coveted Ballon d’Or home with him again this year!
“Messi doesn’t deserve the Ballon d’Or,” says Wagner: “This year it’s very clear to me (Giorgio) Chiellini. Behind comes (Robert) Lewandowski. ”Messi, on the other hand, is“ zero percent ”.
Although he won the Copa America in Argentina, he chased the title music with Barca. After all, with 30 goals, he was the top scorer in Spain for the fifth time in a row. But that’s not enough for a world footballer.

France’s ex-international Patrice Evra (40) also sees it that way. On “Amazon Prime Video Italy”, the former defensive ace said that he has two other favorites. Evra: “For me, Kanté or Jorginho should win. The latter deserves it! I don’t understand why people say, ‘He’s just a midfielder.’ He won everything (Champions League with Chelsea, EM with Italy) and was instrumental in all the successes. For me it’s an injustice if he doesn’t win. “
The Argentine was transferred to Paris Saint-German in the summer from the financially troubled FC Barcelona on a free transfer. Messi has only made five competitive games for the French so far – and scored one goal. He missed the lucky win against Angers (2-1) because he had to play World Cup qualifiers in Argentina the night before.
The Ballon d’Or will be awarded in Paris on November 29th. The 30 nominees also included Bundesliga professionals Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich) and Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund). The ex-Wolfsburg Simon Kjaer (AC Milan) seems to be an insider tip. Chelsea’s Jorginho was recently voted “UEFA Player of the Year”.
