Despite the fact that Messi continued to put up incredible goalscoring numbers last season, winning the Golden Boot in La Liga and the Champions League, the pundit called the decision a joke.

The former Arsenal man argued that van Dijk took Liverpool to the next level – they won the Champions League and lost just once in the Premier League – while Messi didn’t improve the Catalan giants.

Barca, nevertheless, won a league title in comfortable fashion.
