Madness if Messi is not Ballon d’Or winner – Thierry Henry


Thierry Henry has stated that it would be “madness” if Lionel Messi is not announced winner of this year’s Ballon d’Or.

FIFA will reveal the world player of the year for 2015 next Monday in Zurich, with Messi, Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo in the running.

The Argentina captain is a strong favourite to win the prize and Henry has backed him to claim it for the fifth time, although he expressed his disappointement with Luis Suarez missing out.

“All we can do is enjoy what [Messi] does because what he is doing is not normal,” Henry told Barcelona’s official website.

“We used to say that a player who got 23 to 25 goals in a season was an incredible striker, but Messi does that in three months.

“We had incredible players in that [Barca] team [that Henry played in] and whenever you did not know what to do, you always looked for Messi.

“I think it would be madness if he does not win the Ballon d’Or. He deserves it because the team won another treble. But what I do not understand is why Suarez isn’t there.”
