"Of course, it's a shame. In my opinion, the Ballon d'Or should have gone to Holland. By what criteria can we say that between August 2022 and June 2023, Messi was number one? If we look at his achievements, he is inferior to Holland, even taking into account his World Cup victory. Holland won everything with Manchester City.

At PSG, Messi was not better than anyone else, he was not the best player in the club. There is a problem that the guy who wins the Ballon d'Or, who is considered the best player in the world, is not even the best player in his club. My friends, journalists, for the last three or four years, Messi hasn't been the best player in the world, and he has two Ballon d'Ors. Stop delusional!" RMC Sport quoted Roten as saying.
