[Saba Sports News] Lothar Matthaus, a German
football legend, recently voiced his opinion that Erling Haaland deserved the
Ballon d’Or more than Lionel Messi, criticising the decision and calling it a
farce. Matthaus argued that Haaland had outperformed Messi in the past year,
emphasising the importance of the World Cup and Haaland’s accomplishments with
Manchester City, including breaking goal records. Despite being a Messi fan,
Matthaus maintained his stance that the selection was unjust. In response,
Argentine star Angel Di Maria took to social media and replied to Matthaus,
saying, “Step aside and cry!”
