The words of Lothar Matthäus
The eighth Ballon d'Or finished to Lionel Messi did not put everyone in agreement.
As usual, there was no shortage of controversy and in particular to lash out against this decision è was a former winner such as Lothar Matthäus.
"For the whole year Haaland did better than Messi – commented the former Inter player to Sky Deutschland – The title è undeserved. This è is proof that the World Cup counts more than anything. For me no one has done better than Haaland, he è been the best in the last 12 months. He won important titles with City while making goal records. The vote è a farce, although I have always been a fan of Messi".
