On the sixth Ballon D'or to Messi

Messi won his sixth Ballon D'or yesterday 2019-12-02. I used to fancy this award and used to put a lot of value to this award a few years ago but lately I do not regard them to the same standard I used to. What is fundamentally wrong with this award in particular is that they say it reconiges the best player over the last season but the ones who vote put different constraint on it. So what ends up happening is that the person winning this award is hailed as media as the best player in the last season when clearly the "best player" is qualified further more.

Full disclaimer that I might be biased towards Messi but I honestly feel that if this award was for the best player over the evaluation period of previous season, it would go to only one man since 20009 (possibly with an expection of a year where we missed 3 months with injury). And that man is the enigmatic magician Lionel Messi.

What Messi does in the football pitch is sometimes beyond comprehension. Finishing, Passing, Dribbling, Entertaining in all of these categories is he amongst the best SIMULTANEOUSLY as a single individual playing on the field.

One of the most underrated qualities of Messi is his passing. His ability to dissect defences and find perfectly weighted pin piont passes to his opponents is something I have never seen other players do consistantly and as often.
