Hi Factual Animation, I'm a fan of your channel and how you analyze past data to evaluate a player's performance in the previous season.

Also, out of Haaland's 53 goals, 8 were penalties and 38 were one touch goals where he waited for a lucky deflection or a teammates assist (mostly from Grealish and De Bruyne). As a comparison, out of 37 goals, Messi scored 4 penalties and 7 one touch goals BUT 3 of them were from outside the box. He scored 4 free kicks and 7 goals from outside the box. Haaland is a goalscorer with great finishing and positionning skills, he scores with almost every opportunity he gets. But Messi is different, he creates the opportunity. I still believe that Haaland is a better goalscorer than Messi tho, but Messi is close. With this in mind, by taking into account all the others aspect of football (playmaking, assist, leadership etc.), Messi is overall better this season.

[@TheBann90]

Sure, but Haaland plays for a far worse national team, and PSG met far easier opponents in France than Man City met in England. So there is alot of factors to weigh in for or against. In the end Messi will win it this time due to the world cup. But given he went to the MLS, he won't get the reward in the years to come...

[@night.cz7]

well if we are talking about playmaking, we should talk about KDB then.. leadership? then they should make a captain of the year..

As a goalscorer Haaland had a better year. But as an overall player Messi was better. Haaland can’t be judged on WC since he did not participate. Messi can be judged on both international level and club level. At international level he had a very strong season, but on club level it was an average season due to early UCL exit. We must also remember Balon dOr has turned into a goalscoring award, so no one will actually care about the fact that Haaland is just a goalscorer. I feel Haaland will take the Balon dOr this time.

I think the Laureus Award as Sportsman of the Year should count as a major individual trophy, especially since only one football player has ever won (and did it twice). Stat-wise they both have similar impact in the game, the difference is that Haaland is much more a finisher/consolidator of chances as a goalscorer while Messi is pretty 50/50 between creating and finishing. It can't be understated how many more big chances Messi is responsible for creating in the field (more than 3x Haaland's).

He was just lucky that year for the Ballon D'or. Halaand is not in the same position he was in 2010.

[@In_my_own_mind]

He deserves it? Haaland has set records no one else in history has broken. In the best league in the world. If he doesnt win Ballon dor this year what shall he do to win it? Messi plays in the French farmer league. His numbers lie. If anything Messi’s stats should count less because of that. The world cup win was beecause Argentina has world class players all over. If Norway had the same, you could have added 20 goals at least to Haalands stats. The same if Haaland played in the non-competitive French league….. There are always world cup winners, someone always win and the best player on that team is in the contention for Ballon dor BUT no one has in history broken the records Haaland did in his first season in PL, and its probably only Haaland who can break it again. Well, that should be awarded. If Messi wants to win Ballon Dor again he has to move away from the French farmers league ranked 5th and play in a tougher league.

[@szeneskorina6491]

you can’t change your nationality to win the WC but you cam change your club to win the UCL, UCL win is worth more, because they have equal chances, unlike in WC, if you say the Argentinian National Team is not way better than the Norwegian National Team, then your take is literally pointless, one man can’t win a world cup, and if your team is not good enough you won’t win it, but with pro clubs in the UCL, there are no excuses of not winning it. Not saying that Messi winning WC is nothing, but it is not better than UCL because Haaland doesn’t have the same chance as Messi, because he is Norwegian. And on the other hand, Haaland didn’t just won the UCL, he won the FA Cup and the Premier League too with Man City, he won the Golden Boot, and League MVP, as I said the World Cup win of Messi is very nice, but not giving Ballon D’Or to Haaland just because the Norwegian team is way weaker than the Argentinian team is not fair, PSG could’ve played as good as Man City in the UCL with Mbappe, Neymar and Messi and many other good players they have like City, but they didn’t.

[@grant7739]

It's crazy that Haaland and Messi have EXACTLY the same G+A this past year. Haaland is a #9 and has more goals. Messi is a #10 and has more assists. You cannot give the edge to Haaland here by saying goals are more valuable than assists. Haaland's role is a striker and he is expected to finish chances and he did. Messi is a playmaker and expected to create chances and he did. Both were exceptional this year in their contributions to their teams based on their role within the team. If a goalkeeper was in contention for Ballon d'Or, it would not be because of how many goals he scored. De Bruyne is not a top 5 Ballon d'Or candidate this year because of how many goals he scored either. Players must be judged based on their respective role within a team and how well they contributed to their team's success at their position. This is not the Golden Boot. It is a higher honor; for best PLAYER, not best GOAL-SCORER. So then, who deserves this award? Well, not only do they have exactly equal team contributions, BOTH also won their domestic league and domestic cup. It's crazy how closely matched the top two candidates are this year. By these accounts, they are equal. So how then to differentiate between them? Well, you could choose to give Haaland the edge by saying that the Premier League is stronger than Ligue 1, so Haaland's domestic league performance is more impressive than Messi's. The only other major criteria to distinguish between them are their performances in major tournaments this past year. I think this is where the winner will be decided. It's Haaland and Manchester City winning the Champions League versus Messi and Argentina winning the FIFA World Cup. So first if all, which tournament is more difficult to win? You could argue that the World Cup and the Champions League are actually equally difficult tournaments. Europe easily has the best clubs in the world and the best players in the world are no question primarily in Europe. As successful as Man City have been domestically for years, in arguably the strongest league in the world, this is only Pep's FIRST Champions League title with Man City. Let that sink in. That is how difficult it is to win this tournament. It is atonishing how good Man City were last year. They won everything and Haaland was a major contributor to this team's success. So the question is, did Haaland carry his team to the title and show himself above and beyond all his teammates as the most valuable and essential player on the best club team in the world? Or was he simply placed with the perfect team at the perfect time that suited his position and talents perfectly and simply rode the Man City train all the way to the title? Could they have won without him? How essential was Haaland to their successful campaign? How much did he contribute to his team's success? I think the truth is a little bit of both. But you could easily say that Haaland was the missing piece that Guardiola desperately needed to finally get his Man City team over the hump and win the Champions League. To put it this way, if there's no Messi at the World Cup last year, then Haaland is absolutely winning the Ballon d'Or. But there was a World Cup, and Messi was absolutely mesmerizing. The World Cup is an incredibly difficult tournament and the highest profile football in the world. The pressure is enormous. It's nearly impossible to win. Even with an absolutely fantastic team it is still not certain of success. Your country would be fortunate to win even ONCE in the entire history of the tournament. What Messi did with Argentina in 2022 is comparable to what Maradona did at the '86 World Cup. And that's really saying something because '86 Maradona might possibly be the greatest individual footballing performance in any competition, ever. I don't think you can say definitively that one tournament is "better" or more difficult than the other. The Champions League and World Cup are both equally incredibly difficult tournaments. It comes down to player performances in these two tournaments. Haaland is an amazing player on an amazing team and was a key factor in their amazing success winning a freaking Treble, the hardest feat in club football anywhere. But what Messi did with Argentina was historic. The man was on a mission. Something we should feel lucky to have witnessed in our lifetime. Messi winning the Ballon d'Or is football saying thank you.
