Messi Won Player of the year

I'm actually disappointed Iniesta or Xavi didn't win it....
Messi will win it again later on, but Iniesta or Xavi, I doubt they've ever been as close to win it as they were now.
Messi of course deserves it, but Iniesta or Xavi deserved it more IMHO.

Also, why the fuck was Sneijder not in the top 3?

Yup I really wanted to see one of them in the spotlight this time, so many people dont know how good they are

+ the fact that the only Spaniard to win the Golden Ball ever was Di Stefano, a real figurehead of Real Madrid.
Would be awesome if a Barcelona player would win it too then

Yes I know that. It's weird stuff, one source says there was only one Spanish winner, the other says 2. One source says Di Stefano won it as a Spanain (which he was too, he played for the Spanish national team), the other one says he was Argentinian.

They were just odd times, I remember Puskas was Hungarian but ended up playing for Spain.

Oh Puskas, another Real Madrid legend (I think, haven't looked it up yet).
It's too bad so many records from that time are just being shattered now, making those genius players look worse than for example Cristiano Ronaldo.

I wouldn't get so nostalgic about that era of players. A lot of what they achieved was in a different time, for example the majority of Real's European Cups was during a period where the game was uncompetitive. Saying that I am of the view that Real as a club are glorified to better than they are particularly in recent years where the club have been nothing but a joke.

I don't know that much about those years of football, I wasn't born yet. It does make sense though that the years after WW 2 sports wasn't the main thing on people's mind.
Real indeed has a fantastic and probably the biggest and most successful history out there, but recently it hasn't been very good. A joke I wouldn't call it, but 2 or 3 years without prize, that's quite a long time for such a club. And especially in the CL, they've just been a joke there. I love it

"let's sack the manager whose won our first league title for several years, becasue they were dull to watch!"

Pathetic club who have such an entitlement problem. Just like Liverpool.
