Who will win the best player

[Monday]

Messi or nothing 

[nylax3]

Messi's the goat tbh, no one else even comes close rn 🐐

[shrednda]

Messi's always the safe bet, but I wouldn't count out some of the young guns making a late push this season.

[phantki]

Messi's always the answer but fr, seeing some of these new kids play makes me wonder if the torch is finally getting passed

[ashick]

Messi's still the man, but ngl some of these young players are making it a lot more interesting than usual

[Mittob1t]

Messi the GOAT

[Novatia]

Messi's the obvious pick but it's getting harder to ignore what some of these younger players are doing right now

[gladeienne]

Messi's the default answer but fr, some of these new guys are making it a genuine debate for once lol

[Zyllyn]

Messi is the one to beat for sure, but I just watched that last Champions League match and his movement off the ball was so sharp it feels like the odds are still firmly in his favor this year.

[luxuriantly45]

Miami game odds are just printing money honestly

[dosery]

messi for sure but honestly his passing this season feels even sharper thaan before

[Rosita]

Champions League match and his movement off the ball was so sharp it feels like the odds are still firmly in his favor this year.

[zyxenver059]

Messi still delivers magic, but I think you are overlooking how consistently someone like Bellingham has carried his team this season.

[Zylixlyn]

Honestly after watching him cook in Miami the betting lines seem almost too easy right now

[woonaldra]

but are you takling about the ballon d'or specifically or just who's the goat in general? cause the miami league isn't exactly the strongest argument if it's the official award

[Wineostia0]

Bellingham delivering in UCL and la liga week after week makes me think it could go his way if he stays fit

[phantelan]

messi has the braand but bellingham actually played in europe this year so it's not nothing. the award people usually lean toward the champions league anyway.

[Wrenora]

I watched that free kick against Cincinnati and it curved like a video game physics glitch.

[shrednda]

It is really hard to bet against Messi when he still pulls off moments that make you rewind the stream twice. I honestly think the only thing that could swing it away from him is if someone like Bellingham goes absolutely nuclear in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

[Phantumelle]

Messi getting that trophy again feels inevitable after the way he dragged Argentina through the copa, my bookie basically has his odds frozen cause nobody's betting the other side.

[vexique89]

Bellingham's been unreal in europe this season but I still think Messi edges it with the copa narrative behind him, people just love a story and his numbers in miami are silly even if the league's not elite.

[wrenolxen]

If you actually want to beat the crowd on this, watch the Ballon d'Or voting deadlines and drop a bet right after a big Bellingham UCL knockout performance before the Messi nostalgia articles flood back in.

[onyxarium]

Does Messi winning feel like it just defaults now, or do you reckon the Copa run actually seals it even if Jude hauls Madrid to the UCL final again?

[Nylrizyl]

If you are betting on this, ignore the stats and track which journalists from smaller voting nations are posting their ballots early on social media, they usually leak the trend weeks before the ceremony.

[strikeelon37]

Messi. saafe bet every time.
