A Real Madrid critic criticized Messi for awarding the Ballon d’Or

According to Fars News Agency, Thibaut Courtois, the goalkeeper of the Belgian national team and a member of Real Madrid, criticized the awarding of the 2021 Golden Ball to Barcelona legend Lionel Messi.

“I think Karim Benzema deserved to win the Ballon d’Or this year,” Cortova told Laribuca. Messi’s title in the Copa America with Argentina seems to have influenced the standings, but it is not always the case that the decisive cup wins the Ballon d’Or.

He added: “They do not look at the individual performance of the player during a year. I was hoping Benzema would win the Ballon d’Or this year, but he will win the award next year.

“We were much better in the first half and created a lot of scoring opportunities,” said the Real goalkeeper after his side’s hard-fought win over Bilbao. But in the first half of the second, the opponent did better than us. We were not good at passing accuracy, but in the end we left the field with 3 points.

Messi won his seventh Ballon d’Or and increased his distance from his traditional rival Ronaldo to 2 Ballons d’Or. Earlier, Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas had strongly criticized France Football for awarding the 2021 Ballon d’Or to Messi.
