It was the last big event of the year 2018, what caused that the gala of the Balloon of Gold was an authentic feeling in the world of the sport. The coronation of Luka Modric has given place to comments and debates of all type, and while in some houses reigns the tension, in others has not interrupted the tranquility. In occasions, as it is used to to say, an image costs more than one thousand words.

One of the big discussions after the victory of the Croatian is if it is, really, the one who have done more merits to be in the highest, and in addition to the mosqueo of candidates like Cristiano Ronaldo, Antoine Griezmann or Raphaël Varane, that consider legitimated to have occupied his place, another decision that has caused a lot of stir has been the fifth place of Leo Messi.

With a doublet with the FC Barcelona, throwing of the car in Argentina and being, during big part of the course, a concerning individual level, costs to understand that the one of Rosario have not reached not even the podium, an attainment that of uninterruptible way had reached in the last years. However, it seems that this has remained in an analysis purely futbolístico, since the own involved is very relaxed in this regard.

Very near of the hour to which celebrated the event the crack Barcelona published an image in the social networks, in which it showed that his thoughts were very far of the trophy. In her it appeared the own Leo Messi beside his greater children, Thiago and Mateo, with a smile and, probably, in the middle of the games that usually share in his day in day out.

This is not more than another proof that the words of the attacker, that always has said that the individual awards do not remove him the dream, are the pure truth, and is that his aims go through to follow carrying collective titles to his vitrinas. More Leagues, more Champions and more Glasses of Rey, this is what wants the '10'.

The Balloon of Gold, a simple consequence for Messi

It will not be the first time, neither surely the last, that Leo Messi reflexiona on the individual prizes, and always has recalcado that it does not consider them one put, but rather a consequence of the very done work. If his performance is decisive to reach greater rewards, then can accumulate more praises by the way, something that does illusion, but no so much. The rest, are discussions in which it does not seem that it want to go in.
