I think its a sort of deserved win for Messi...he is the best player in the world and imo the best player of all time, BUT there is the argument that if Van Dijk didn't win it then what would it actually take for a defender to win it? Comfortably the best player for Liverpool last season, won the champions league and Super Cup, was the MOTM in champions league final, got a ridiculous number of clean sheets, etc.
apparently it's win the world cup as the criteria, so van djik couldn't win this year
