Ballon d'Or 2023 | Haaland finishes 2nd

[Johnny Mars Bar]

On pure footballing achievements over the 12 months the award covers, Haaland is the clear leader. But we all know he's very unlikely to win it. Messi winning the World Cup is the clincher for him.

There's an even bigger argument for Alvarez tbh..

I hear you. Him winning the World Cup is a big feather in his cap. But he wasn't by any means a regular starter for us last season. Consequently, he hasn't clocked up the figures that Haaland has.

Not many 22 year olds win a treble and a World Cup in the same year!

Wasn’t a regular starter maybe but was still a big part of our success. Deserves to be in that conversation. And look at him now, incredible player.
