Should Messi be the European Player of the Year?

While there is no doubt that Lionel Messi has been the star performer for Barcelona in the last year, has he done enough to deserve to win the Balon d'or?

With his ability to run with the ball and beat players, Messi has to be the best in the world but while he has this ability has he done enough on the pitch to win the award? Looking at it negatively, Barca have not won a major competition in two years and so Messi cannot be said to have helped his team to success and if you compare him to Ronaldo then the Portuguese has won the league with Manchester United and the Champions League.

Messi is still improving as a player and has also suffered from injuries. One of the key areas in which he needs to improve is that he needs to start dominating matches and imposing his personality.

Messi is proving to be the best player in history day after day with his brilliant skills and most importantly his game spirit.That's why he deserves every prize in football specially more than that arrogant loser c.ronaldo.I would also like to say hello to all BARCA fans specially to Prince and michael who commented on this topic.

May the best player win.This means Messi ofcourse.

There's absolutely no doubt that Messi deserves it. i mean he is just outstanding.

i can't think of anyone that is actually better then L.Messi. he has the ability to do everything there is to do in a soccer match to win the game.

He doesn't only play for him, he plays for the whole team, he assists, he scores, he makes killer passes, and his skills....he is unstoppable.that's what i think makes the best players!

LIONEL MESS is simply the Best in the world right now!!!!!

,Mishael (Sagacity) from Nigeria,,I don't realy know y people don't want 2 bleve d 2ruth.Messi is d best player on dis plannet earth.I commend c.ronaldo 4 his 42 goals last season but he din't score those goals alone.If u watched last season's champions league match b/w Barca & Man u, u'll see that Zambrotta single handedly tired ronaldo but ferdinand,evra&brown put together could not prevent HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS (Messi) from breaking through thier defence.So after eupean & world player of the year award fifa should also introduce another special award for him. said:

messi is the best attacking winger in the world hands down.He also shows up for every game unlike C.Ronaldo who only torments against weaker sides when he plays big games his name is not heard for the 90.The point is messi is the best footballer in the world hands down and eto'o the best striker.Barca is the best so ignore the haters.

Leo Messi has deserved that a few years ago, but they didnt gave the award... This year there is no reason to beat him about the award... He is the best now... As an old footballer's word... he is and the others....
