How many Ballon D’or trophies did Messi win? Six. He has the record of most Ballon D’or for a single player, but this individual achieves always are part of a whole group win. He won tons of trophies with FC Barcelona and their teammates did not win so much individual distinctions as he did.

Exactly ten years ago, Messi won the Ballon D’or once again in 2011 because of his perform in 2010. If we analyze the match of La Liga, they were incredible, he scored 47 goals and won it. But he did not carry the team on the two most important competitions of 2010, the World Cup and the UEFA Champions League.

This was probably the worst World Cup of Lionel Messi, he arrived as a strong candidate to win the international contest with Argentina but he did not score a single goal and Argentina was eliminated in the quarterfinals against Germany. Iniesta and Xavi won the World Cup, and they ended up on the 2nd and 3rd spot on the Ballon D’or list.

Besides, Messi could not carry the team on the UCL, FC Barcelona lost against Inter in the semi-finals. Diego Milito, the star of Jose Mourniho’s team, was the key player on that Champions League Final and he was not even on the top5 list of the nominates for Ballon D’or. Was this a robbery? Yes, according to the fans.
