German star Toni Kroos has retired from football and started his own league called Icon League, which is similar to Pique’s Kings League. At the launch event for the league yesterday, Kroos was asked how the Man of the Match award would be decided.
Kroos said: “Fans and players will vote together to decide the best player of the match. We think that combining both is a good thing.” The host of the event replied: “Of course, this is not like the Ballon d’Or.” Kroos then added: “No, here only the most deserving players will get the Man of the Match award.”
Several Spanish media outlets have interpreted these comments as a jab at Messi. According to Kroos and others, they believe that Messi did not deserve his last Ballon d’Or award.
