Barcelona fans furious about Jose Mourinho's comment about Messi

Some fans of Barcelona and their captain Lionel Messi have gone hard on Jose Mourinho after the former Manchester United manager stating in an interview that the Barcelona captain does not deserve this year's Ballon D'or accolade.

It seems that it is not going to be an easy task in selecting this season’s Ballon d’Or winner as two players who have dominated the football world are all out of the Champions League competition.

Cristiano who has won the award five times was sent out of the competition after Juventus was eliminated by Ajax in the quarter-finals.

Unfortunately, Barca fell into the hands of lethal Liverpool.

The Argentine forward produced a masterclass against Jurgen Klopp’s side to continue his magnificent run of form and, at the time, was way ahead of any other player in the race for football’s most prestigious individual accolade.

However, Barça’s spectacular capitulation at Anfield six days later has drastically altered the bookies’ 2019 Ballon d’Or odds.

Sergio Aguero had earlier stated that neither Messi or Ronaldo deserves this year’s Ballon d’Or, a claim that he quickly refuted.

Mourinho was the latest to air out his voice to speak about the award.

Speaking to one publication, Mourinho said, “I have doubts that he deserves the Ballon d’Or this year because he failed in the Champions League.”

However some aggrieved Barcelona fans trolled Mourinho in his comment about their captain's chances of winning the award for the sixth time with one fan describing "The Special One" as a stray ram.
