Didie Drogba: π¨π¨π¨ππποΈ
π “This year’s Ballon d’Or nominees? I hear a lot of names ….. But let me be clear: if Lionel Messi was still playing in Europe, nobody would come close to the Ballon d’Or… Even at the age of forty. Competing in Europe has become easy after Messi left, everyone breathes sorrow because there is no one who is crushing numbers and smashing dreams every week.” β€π€―
π “But let me ask you one question: can anyone among them score ninety-one goals in one season like Messi did?” You know the answer… And nobody comes close.” Messi is not measured by age, but by the miracles he creates in every game. His place is not a continent or a league, but on the top of football itself, where no one can reach him, but the truth that even his opponents know… Lionel Messi is the best player in history, and any comparison with him is just an insult to football”. ππππ₯
