Messi got his wish. Iniesta beats both him and Christiano Ronaldo.

Well, well deserved. The Saint of Samford Bridge!

No way. Messi was better by far than anyone else on the planet. How many goals did he score in all competitions again? Seventy something? Poor choice, not because Iniesta isn't a deserving player, but because Messi is just Messi.

Messi himself thought Iniesta should have gotten it.

Is he really going to come out and say he should have won it himself though?

Iniesta is a great player (thankfully people are starting to see he is better than Xavi), but not on a par with Messi. Especially this last year.
