In the 11 league goals there was the hatrick against Real Madrid, his double against Atletico (run + lob), the Depor goal, the Recre run, his double vs Espanyol which could of won the title and his double vs Nastic, most of which were fantastic goals. There's also the double vs Getafe in the Copa del Rey with the Messidona goal  and he had a very good Copa America in which we'll remember the goal vs Mexico.
They both still have until December to impress and if Messi has a fantastic start to the season then he could snatch the award from Kaka. |
I didn't know its just for the 2007 year. I thought its for all the season and just that season.
anyway, I think there is no way they don't give the man that won the CL and beat manchester united by his own this award. messi was excellent but he didn't win anything wich is also a critirion for the best player of the year..
