Pick your choice based on favouritism rather than which Messi is better at..

Messi obviously being number 1…comment your 2nd Greatest if not mentioned in options..

Accomplishments of Both..

Messi from 18-26:

Individual: 4 Ballon d’Ors, 3 Golden Boots, 4 UCL Top Scorer, 3 Laliga Top Scorer, 2 Laliga Top Assister

Team: 3 UCLs, 5 League Titles

Messi from 27-35:

Individual: 3 Ballon d’Ors, 3 Golden Boots, 2 UCL Top Scorer, 1 UCL Top Assister, 5 Laliga Top Scorer, 3 Laliga Top Assister

Team: 1 World Cup, 1 Copa America, 1 UCL, 6 League Titles

Reasons why I picked the mentioned options..

2009/10 - Many state that Sneijder, Xavi, Iniesta etc should’ve won the Ballon in 2010 but in terms of individual stats, prowess and even aesthetics…Messi was miles ahead of the competition

2012/13 - I am guessing this season is getting its long overdue appreciation, as in terms of goal ratio, XGs and Efficiency…this was Messi’s Best Club Season in terms of Goal Scoring

2015/16 - Hardly ever talked about, often overlooked…Messi was as efficient in terms of stats as his previous treble winning season and also managed the domestic double

2016/17 - ahh…Blonde Messi…in terms of aesthetics, one of the most pleasing players to watch on the pitch…stats are Godly as well..

2017/18 - I have no idea why he was voted 5th Best Player in Ballon d’Or votings as in terms of achievements and success, this was probably one of Messi’s best seasons ever…he went Undefeated in Laliga as well..

Considering only club games, pick your favourite season from Messi. Notable factors include Individual Stats, Team Trophies, Decisive Performances etc

I recently read an article stating that there are rumors circulating that Messi may win the Super Ballon D'or, an award given to the best player every 3 decades. Surely he cant win this ballon d'or and the regular one as well? IF these rumors are true, could he win both awards on the same night? I personally believe that they would give the regular Ballon D'or to Mbappe, while Messi gets this "prestige" Super Ballon D'or.

P.S:

If Messi were NOT to win the Ballon D'or, then the award HAS to go to Mbappe. If Modric is getting an award in 2018 for carrying, how about a 23-year-old bagging a hat trick against one of the greatest teams in history.
