Lionel Messi has been crowned the FIFA Player of the Year for 2023, leaving football fans and pundits in disbelief as Erling Haaland’s exceptional season seemingly went unnoticed. The decision has sparked a wave of outrage on social media, with many dubbing it the “biggest robbery in the history of football.”
Despite Haaland’s incredible achievements, which include clinching five major trophies with Manchester City, including the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup, it seems Messi’s contribution in the French Ligue 1 was deemed more significant by the voters.
Messi, who secured the FIFA The Best award the previous year for his outstanding World Cup campaign, has faced a barrage of criticism questioning his 2023 accomplishments. Fans and critics alike are demanding transparency and accountability, as the decision to crown Messi over Haaland has led to a widespread perception that the prestigious award has lost its credibility.
