Messi might win the Super Ballon d'Or, but we all know who truly deserved it more in 2019 😱🏆

Summary

Key Points

• The Super Ballon d'Or is a rare football award recognizing the greatest player of the previous three decades, with only one recipient ever, Alfredo Di Stefano in 1989. 0:09
• Following a 30-year cycle, the next Super Ballon d'Or should have been awarded in 2019. 0:20
• In 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo had achieved a legendary career, including three consecutive Champions League titles, Euros, Nations League, and league trophies in England, Spain, and Italy. 0:32
• At the same time in 2019, Lionel Messi had no international trophies, had lost multiple Copa America finals, and Barcelona was struggling in the Champions League. 0:53
• Although Messi had more Ballon d'Ors (6 to Ronaldo's 5) in 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo had more total Ballon d'Or points across the years. 1:04
• The video asserts that if the Super Ballon d'Or had been awarded in 2019 at the real 30-year mark, Cristiano Ronaldo would have won it. 1:15
• Instead of being awarded in 2019, extra years were added to the cycle, extending it beyond the original 30-year period. 1:20
• In these added years, Lionel Messi won two Copa America titles, a World Cup, and two more Ballon d'Ors, making him the current favorite for the Super Ballon d'Or in 2029. 1:26
• The video concludes that the delay and extension of the award cycle are politically motivated, causing the Super Ballon d'Or to lose credibility and obscuring who truly deserved it at the original 30-year mark. 1:50
