The Real Madrid president followed high standards for his club since he took over in 2000. Since then, the club won 14 Champions League trophies as they dominated Europe. So, Alaba voting for Messi would have probably sent the wrong signals to the Madrid faithful.

Likewise, one fan wanted Alaba to be returned to Austria while extending a contract of forward Mariano. The fan commented, “Send Alaba back to Austria. Extend Mariano.”

Messi has his last laugh!

As for the results, Lionel Messi won another FIFA Best Men’s Player of the Year award. Up until 2022, Benzema became the clear favorite to win the award. But, the 2022 Qatar World Cup changed the whole landscape of the competition. Therefore, each vote counts as Alaba voted for his favorite this year. 

Considering Barcelona’s current form, Real Madrid would not afford to lose Alaba for a mere Twitter battle. He is one of their crucial players and completely epitomized Madrid’s Champions League run last year. Along with Eder Militao, he formed a formidable base in the defense. Fan reactions are hilarious, nonetheless.
