Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi has been named world footballer of the year for the fourth time in a row, marking another unprecedented achievement. He pipped Andres Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo to the title.
No other male footballer has been named the best on the planet in four separate years, let alone four in succession.
In truth, u deserved it Big Boy. You've broken all the world Footballing records. i hope that 2014 World Cup would be in your hand. Big Congratulations.
for you to understand that FIFA is confused how can they picks two players from the same wing i.e(marcelo and Diego Alves) i think they are trying to compensate madrid with their rubbish FIFA world team of the year.RUBBISH.
its only barca fans that will say messi deserve balon d or again,as if he is the only best player in the world..blatter and fifa are cheats its xavi and iniesta dat are helpin messi in scoring goals with their accurate passes and skills of play,messi shld go to another club to play and lets see how well he will be scoring..does iniesta not also deserve the award..messi is takin d glory of iniesta and xavi
you mean REAL MADRID does not have mid fielder? that's a rubbish post you are posting...will he be able to score goals without his own personal skill? or is he the only one there?
Musa, Real Madrid have mid fielders but they are not as good as Xavi and Iniesta. Emma made a point, let Messi try another league and if he performs same way, I will admit that he is the best player (everyone has the right to his own opinion). At least Ronaldo has played in 2 different leagues
@ anon 12:15, u av spoken very well none of madrid MIDFIELDERS u can compare with these Duo inniesta and Xavi but CR7 was 4 in 1...i know the FIFA Tricks they purposely delays the award so dt their favourite could break the muller's record because 2011/2012 season had already ended up since August last year i was now confused when mullers record that was broken in 2012/2013 record will now be the criteria for choosing 2011/2012 award....food for thought(personal opinion)
If CR7 had stayed with Man U his situation would have been better than this, but he loves money more than building his career with a club. Now he is planning to leave Real M to go and start all over again with another club, let him stay with a club and build his career so that he can become a success like MESSI THE GREAT.
ever since blatter became fifa president,he has been awarding ballon d or to messi..does dat not mean ojoro,is he d only good player for the past 4 season? are there no good players in other leagues who also deserve d award
Lionel Messi is a delight to watch playing football. Last yr he scored five times( a Champions League record and also a personal record). He scored 79 goals for his club last yr and 12 for Arg.
Last Season, Messi was the highest goal scorer in the La Liga with a new record, Highest Goal scorer in Champion's League, Highest goal scorer in copa de la rey, Highest goal scorer in club world cup, won the European super cup, Won Copa delaray (however it's spelt), Spanish Super Cup, was the MVP at the club world cup and the other competition they won. For the calendar year, set a new world record in goal scoring - I can go on.
It is unfortuanate that Ronaldo is playing in his era - I hope he continue, he might win it again some yr
someone once told me that fifa is cheat, i never believe until today, come to think of think of it, the two players ( messi and ronaldo) are both attackers and they both operate from wings and sometime use as a striker, so why not compare them with attribute of an attacker and see who is better? blatter is a cheat and i will continue to say it, no wonder he said should have not walk away during racism chant and still condemn him
u r worst than cheatt if u could call Blatter a cheat for King Messi won again, I can't remember when Blatter turn to footballers and coaches to have voted Messi world best, world King of round pumped oject (football) senseless humans in here commenting crab
Winning only Copa dey rey gave him Ballon de or, Most record messi broke were not in the calender season under review. to be frank am dissapointed with Fifa, 2010 instead of Sneijer they gave messi, 2011 instead of Xavi they gave messi, 2012 instead of Cr7 messi was given. Even messi said it. Ballon de Or has lost its credibility. Most of you guys know that the season under consideration CR7 was beta and more decisive. Cr7 won Laliga and Super Copa over the Ballon de or winner scoring goals. I wont be surprise in the next 3 years to hear of bribery scandal which made messi winning Ballon de Or. Congrats to Copa de Rey winner winning World Best.
I'm I missing something here? since when has winning la liga become the criteria for winning ballon de or? when there are abt 3 more interesting and more competitive leagues in europe. that mean aguerro pirlo and gotze should win ballod de or also cos they all won their league title
I remember arguing with few friends about who the awarded goes to a couple of weeks ago... Hahahahahahahaha!!! Some knows nothing about this award. Messi is an eclipse to his peers. Ronaldo and Iniesta should take heart
Leo is the best, better than Ronaldo by thousand of miles. In his usual trademark, expect the Portuguese to sulk once again but there's no controversy the crown rested on the head of the king. Congratulations Messi
He won it four time for winning Champion League and La-liga and Zero to world cup. Anyway,he still have long way to go to become the like of Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldo who single handedly lifted the world cup with their country. XAVI deserve to be remembered than all of them,afterall he is a world cup winner,European Champion. Fifa why??????????????????????????? Cong-rat to him anyway
what are u saying bros.... do u know what is record....... Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldo. carried world cup. but all the record they left with Messi has Single Handedly broken them and recreate another.... in 1 year.......
To be honest, this is a crime! This Lad didnt deserve this award!!!!! no siding, cr7 was outstanding Last season! This is a crime... POLITICS and CORRUPTION!
Hey common!!! Last Season, Messi was the highest goal scorer in the La Liga with a new record, Highest Goal scorer in Champion's League, Highest goal scorer in copa de la rey, Highest goal scorer in club world cup, won the European super cup, Won Copa delaray (however it's spelt), Spanish Super Cup, was the MVP at the club world cup and the other competition they won. For the calendar year, set a new world record in goal scoring - I can go one. We all wanted Ronaldo to win it on a compassionate ground, becos a lot of people that have won it in the past did not do as much as he did. But he is just in the same era as Messi. Instead, let's hope Ronaldo continue to do well and hopefully, wins it again. Calling this criminal is wrong. Thank you
