Scaloni brilliantly reacts to people doubting Messi's Ballon d'Or win

"I don't really understand those who debate Leo's Ballon d'Or," Argentina head coach Lionel Scaloni has told the media.

"I imagine it because they want to generate a debate, but I no longer believe there is one debate left anymore," he added.

Great words from the main architect of Argentina's 2022 World Cup win. There can be no debates after a player wins his 8th Ballon d'Or, improving his personal record for the third time.

While many neutrals claimed Erling Haaland deserved to win the latest Ballon d'Or more than Leo, the vast majority of those within the football society thought otherwise – largely due to Messi's World Cup glory.
