If they are not biased, how come a 41 year old player with 39 goals contribution(35 goals, 4 assists) and 1 trophy in just 41 games, didn't make the list?

why is messi there?
😂😂😂 I'm surprised you don't ask why Ronaldo is not there cos I bet you'll argue he has to be there but instead you had to talk about messi 😂 . majority of soccer will NEVER accept ronaldo as great and that's sth you have to live with and stop talking cos that's how it'll be let the world start over 10 times. omo focus on your goat

really why should a player be selected for just world cup performance alone when you have players who perform in the top five league and the champions league and also perform with excellence in the world cup if one of these doesn't win the Ballon d Orr then it will be the greatest injustice in the history of football..

Messi is not fit to be listed on top 30 Balon dor. Why include 'jelly legged' Messi? Which football has he played to deserve a slot on the list? It is the same as including 'dried bones' Ronaldo
