go messi!!
But wtf iniesta at third??
What about Torres, Gerrard, David Villa, Zlatan, Ballack, Lampard etc...
Find it hard to believe that 4/5 of the players have or are playing with Barcelona, even though im there fan. I mean what about even Raul or Kaka.
What about your opinions to this?

Rename the title to "Messi won the Ballon d'Or" because Messi is from Argentina & not from Europe.

Torres and Gerrard have been decent, but been injured and haven't won any trophies to back their claim.
Ibrahimovic was good with Inter, but hasn't done done enough in Champions League and no way a perfect replacement for Eto'o.
Ballack can't even get in the Chelsea line-up these days(J.Cole being prefered), so i don't know how he can win it.

Barca won the treble, and it made sense that the players were dominated by them.
Congrats.

Good list, LOL @ people mentioning Lampard, Ballack or even Gerrard with the above mentioned names. All of the people, with the exception of Eto'o (albeit now) are much better.
