People say that there is nothing bigger than team glory and a strong personal performance in order to win the Ballon d'Or award. If so, which one is more important for winning the Ballon d'Or award? Personal performance or team glory?

To everyone who says Messi don't deserve it. Idek if you watch football because how many players do what he does. Messi does it at ease and makes it look very easy but it's not. Messi surprises us week in week out. Look at him sending Griezmann back to France, That panda against filipe Luis in some hard angle.That pass against alena. Most goals in Europe Most Assists Most Key passes Most chances created Most dribbles And I still don't get it why he is not even in top of 3 You know what?.Am sick and tired of the so called ballon d'or. It's now meaningless and has lost its value. And I believe Messi is an alien And ballon d'or are for humans only

Personal Performance is the most important thing. If we think about team glory, there will be some players who will get trophies if he plays not well also due to other players performance The thing is that with the personal performance of the player, team should somewhat benefit

both are important but you cannot ignore the whole season and choose to give the balloon d'or to someone who performed well just in the world cup and he was never the best player even during the world cup campaign , does this mean that if a player plays no game during a regular season and at the end of the season he goes to the world cup and scores 15 goals and 7 assist then he wins the world cup those this means he is worthy of the award? definitely no and again most of the time the balloond'or is always based on players most previous performance forgetting about the early stages of the season, for me my ballond'or pick will be 1)Cr7 or Messi 2) Cr7 or Messi 3) salah

in addition I can't imagine that in 2013 Cristiano Ronaldo went totally trophy-less. Bayern won champions league and Bundesliga, Barça won la Liga WITH Messi being the top goal scorer with 46 goals and also being the overall top goal scorer in Europe that season and Atletico son copa del Rey and the only thing that Cristiano did was being top goal scorer of champions league (12) which they lost . but guess what ; Cristiano was awarded the balon dor instead of either riberri or Messi . if one has to analyze honestly the distribution of ballon d'or for the past 10 yes, Messi was to have 4 , Cristiano, 3 or critically 4, meaning that there are 2-3 players who have been unfairly victimized by the unfair cheating of UEFA

All those agitating for Ronaldo should be disappointed at themselves for wanting a player whose only personal achievement is top scorer at UCL to win the Ballon d'Or. First of all Ballon d'Or is not for the best player in UCL (which Modric already claimed ahead of Ronaldo), it's for the overall best player in all competitions. For many years FIFA was so biased; disregarding the performance of midfielders, defenders and goal keepers for personal awards, but this new era is attempting to correct that error. Usually UCL is the highest trophy for each season except in a WC year, but FIFA had previously disregarded that too. Messi and Ronaldo achieved nothing at the WC and as God will have it, they crashed out on the same day. But no one can deny the fact the Luka Modric was the undisputed best at the WC, leading Croatia to the final also he was key to Madrid's UCL success. Looking at other performers; Messi claimed everything in Spain and won overall top scorer in Europe. Grezmann won Europa League and WC. Mbappe won Ligue 1 and WC. Varane won UCL and WC. Yet Modric outperformed them all at WC, won best player in UCL and WC and won UCL... this is not to say he has suddenly become a better player than Messi or Ronaldo, but his performance last season was better. Based in these facts and more, Modric is worthy of this years Ballon d'Or otherwise Grezmann should win it. Note: the most important thing in football is not scoring goals, but WINNING and every player must do their job for that to happen... respect them all.

There was a time when personal performance was the criteria. but now its all about team glory for the past 3 years now. Team glory has become the major criteria and not personal performance from January to December. In my own opinion ballondor has lost credibilty.

both..... team glory only doesnt mean giroud deserve ballon d or more than ronaldo or salah... Among 2 top individual performer if 1 win league and another win ucl than trophy should be consider...... only those players who still are worthy for ballon d or even if their team achivment are neglected should win like ronaldo even if real didnt win ucl he was still worthy to be in top 3 messi even if barca hadnt won laliga he deserve to be in top 3 but if we overlook trophy varane griezmann wont make in top 10 also...

There's a Difference between Personal Performance and Team Glory. If you Judge Only by Team Glory then Many Players who sat on the Bench to Win Trophies will be Eligible to Win the Balloon d'Or. Also if you Judge by Personal Performance that means, a Player from a Local League who scores goals can Win Balloon d'Or. Instead, what should be Used to Judge is Personal Performance IN Teams Glory. You Won the Trophy? Yes.. You Played Greater? Yes.. Then the Balloon d'Or Can be Yours. But when you Play Well and you Win no Trophy, you have nothing to Prove. But If I'm to choose from the Contest of your Question on this Article, I will go with Personal Performance, because it Speaks Loudly of how Good you are Since Balloon d'Or is not a Team Trophy but a Personal Trophy. So Personal Trophy should go for Personal Performance. Thank AFers!

The fact is that both personal performance and teams glory can only be achieved only when individual personal performance proved his or her opponent incapability.what need to be considered is personal performance which subdue team glory because without personal performance the efforts of team glory can be achieved only when individual performance out stake each other.scoring goals is enough to settled this argument because without team works goals we not come, Thanks to benzema by sacrificing himself for CR7 glory because the most assist to ronaldo goals come from benzema of which CR7 will never did,so stopped sentiment and gives it to who deserved it Henry gunner for life
