@@MrKaravaj that is true if we are talking about the UEFA Best But if we are talking about the ballon d’or Messi deserved it 100% 91 goals 22 assists 5 goals in a UCL match 14 goals 6 assists in 11 apps in UCL Scored in 21 consecutive games Copa Del Rey winner Messi deserved ballon d’or
@@MrKaravaj if we’re gonna talk about Who was the best player in 2012 it was Messi by FAR So it wasn’t really that deserving It’s just that the Euro plays huge role in the UEFA best , which was also shown when Jorginho won in 2021
@@ilhanmikhail1132 this was in 2012, chelsea Parked the bus and were incredibly lucky to win the games against Barcelona, barça were the better team in both legs
@@kothicamedarth2680 Messi scored 91 goals that year pal💀.... Ik goals alone don't win u the bdor but Messi was brilliant all-round plus it's 91 freakin goals😂
I’m a messi fan but i also really want iniesta to win at least one ballon d’or too man. I haven’t seen Zidane play but I have seen Iniesta and for me he was the best midfielder, such a beauty to watch what he does on the pitch
I thought it was great that Messi and Ronaldo were there but none of them won. Iniesta deserved it and players like him and Xavi barely get the praise as Messi and Ronaldo do.
it's not just 7 games euro, its also through the qualifying stage of 12 games, some friendlies and also the tournament. iniesta was equally brilliant for club side as well as national side, messi was good for barca but not good for argentina, example copa america.
It's the journalist who voted, like Ballon do'r EUFA has nothing to do with it. it's the Captains, coaches and journalists who votes, why is it so hard to understand that? they even mentioned it in the beginning, for ppl who are a bit slow. EUFA has nothing to do it with. thumbs up so ppl can read this comment.
it looks like :D He already won it once, but I really hope he will win one again, as he is more than a top class player like kaká, who should only win it once. I thought he would win it next time as he looked like the top scorer of CL with 8 goals and as Barca was nearly out, that would have been really great in my opinion because there could be someone else nominated except from Messi, Xavi, Iniesta Now Barca is still in and Messi has 7 goals :( I'll go mad if Messi is the top scorer again
they all know english though at least to an extent, ronaldo just knows it well enough to answer a question in it, plus messi and iniesta are spanish so its ok for them to just go ahead and answer in spanish if they dont really want to in english, they all know english to an extent
lol i love messi very much he is a really talented football player , but i wont denie the fact that iniesta is an excellent football player as well ... and Fabrizio Mendez , Junior Noel they are both right xD :D
Ok but you conveniently forget that Iniesta played better than anyone at the Euros besides maybe Pirlo and Jordi Alba. That combined with what he does at Barcelona game to game definitely makes him worthy of this award. Any 3 of these guys are deserving but you're making it sound like there's only one right answer. I do think the fact that Iniesta is so entertaining to watch with the ball and his humbleness grant him some favoritism from the press though.
i dont deny that iniesta deserves this after all his accomplishments but if were basing this off 2011-12 CR7 should have won this trophy. He was the most valuable player to rm who performed better than barca. not to mention he took portugal to the euro semi finals pretty much single handedly
Didn't real win la liga that year by the hair on the butts? A few disallowed barca goals in other games in la liga would have stopped that... I remember
Iniesta had one of his worst seasons if not his worst season with barca. He didn't lead Spain either. Spain has xavi, Alonso, fabregas, silva, Torres, navas, mata, Ramos, piqué, casillas ect. They were the best team and if you put fabregas in his place they still would have won it. If the euro was this important than why is messi up there??? Pirlo had an incredible season And lead Italy to the final. It's not fair. He didn't truly deserve it.
iniesta is my favorite player he deserves to be the best player and he was the best player in europian cup but look ronaldo hes face wen he h knows that iniesta wins
@NazSadikVedo it is not different that leo plays for argentina, in this ceremony can a player win the throphy for his goals and skills .. Only whats different, the country which player plays or the club in europe! Thats the reason why leo also nominated in this.ceremony .. ;)
Did you watch the Euros? Iniesta was by far the best player there was. None of those guys you mentioned were anywhere near as influential to Spain winning. Iniesta is easily the best player of last year, if not Pirlo.
2 Top players from barca versus one from real already show that barcelona is a better team then real madrid. Barca could play with another striker and still win games. Real isn't worth anything without Ronaldo...
Diving is NEVER irrelevant because it ruins the beauty of football. The entire Spanish team were diving pricks throughout the entire competition and they didn't deserve to win. That final game should have been Holland's win. That cup should have been Holland's. And you know it's true because if it wasn't for Puyol pulling back Arjen Robben he would have scored in a one-on-one challenge with Casillias.
