Messi and Alaba's recent vote at the awards ceremony caused a lot of controversy. Although Messi eventually won the award, many people questioned his award, arguing that he did not deserve it. Benzema also took to social media to blame Alaba for his choice to vote. In this article, we will explore these controversies and discuss whether Messi is to blame.
First, let's review the background of this event. At the recent ceremony, Alaba voted for Lewandowski, while Benzema voted for Neymar. Messi won the eventual award, but many questioned his award, arguing that he was not the best player.
What are the reasons for these doubts? Some believe Messi has not performed well in the past year. Although he scored 23 goals in La Liga, he did not perform as well as some of the other players. For example, Haaland scored 41 goals in the Bundesliga, Lewandowski scored 41, while Messi scored just 23.
In addition, some have pointed out that Messi's performance in international competitions has not been satisfactory. Although he represented Argentina in the Copa America and helped the team win the title, he did not perform very well in the game. In the face of these doubts, Messi's supporters believe that his performance is still enough to win this award. He scored 23 goals and created 10 assists in La Liga and is a key player for Barcelona. In addition, Messi also performed well in the Champions League, helping the team to reach the round of 16.
As for Alaba and Benzema's voting options, should they be upset about it? This is an interesting question. Benzema blamed Alaba on social media for his vote choice, arguing that he should not vote for Lewandowski. Alaba responded that his choice to vote was based on his own opinions.
