Lothar Matthus: Messi’s Baln de Oro was a “farsa”
The German Lothar Matthus, world champion in 1990 and Ballon d’Or winner that same year, has raised doubts about the legitimacy of the eighth Ballon d’Or awarded to Leo Messi last Monday. Matthus justified his opinion by stating that “Haaland was the best player of the last 12 months, as he won important titles with the City and built records there.”
‘El Fideo’ ngel Di Mara responds to Matthus
‘El Fideo’ ngel Di Mara, World Champion in Qatar 2022, indirectly responded to Matthus’s comments on social media. He posted the message “How to love people” along with a laughing face emoji. Although he didn’t mention Matthus directly, it was clear that the message was directed towards him.
And that’s where things stand… for now.

“Lothar Matthus’ criticism on Messi’s eighth Ballon d’Or seems unwarranted and ignorant. Messi’s consistent excellence and unmatched talent speak for themselves. Kudos to Angel Di Maria for defending his teammate, proving that true football legends support and respect each other.”
It’s understandable that Lothar Matthus might have reservations about Messi’s eighth Ballon d’Or, given the fierce competition and talent in the football world. However, it’s important to acknowledge that each award is based on individual merit and Di Maria’s response subtly hints at the respect and recognition Messi truly deserves.
