A serious question was also raised against the BEST Awards.

How possible is it that the three best players in the world would be named and #Messi would be missing? That list is permanently defective. #UCL #TOTBAR

The other fans, well, couldn't stop adoring the little magician to bits.

#Messi by far the most superior footballer on earth. Right now he is on his own at the top. I remember the sacrilege when Pro LFC media/pundits where putting #Salah in the same ilk with Messi
