Even the best need some luck

And it all comes down to this. There is no doubt that Lionel Messi has at least another two Ballon d’Ors in him. While this article covers the reason about why he may never win another one again, this is Lionel Messi we are talking about.

When he plays well, his team automatically wins. This is why the above four sliders could be rendered pointless if he plays well. However, there is always a question of luck favoring a person. Yes, hard work plays a huge role in a person developing her/his career, but nothing is possible without a hint of luck.

For example, no player is above injuries. There have been so many talented stars who couldn’t live up to their potential due to hampering injury problems. While we have been blessed by the blue skies that Messi hasn’t had any serious injuries—and we pray that it never happens—we can never tempt fate.

Luck is always necessary to succeed in life—and it is also necessary for Messi to win some more Ballon d’Ors.
