Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect. These impressions can be caused by the fact that in both scenarios, articles are subjected to critical evaluation. This report is the product of an AI model that is significantly less biased than human analyses and has been explicitly instructed to strictly maintain 100% neutrality.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Biased language

The article uses biased language by referring to Messi as the 'favourite' and 'remarkable' without providing objective evidence to support these claims.

Lionel Messi is the favourite to win the eighth Ballon d’Or of his remarkable career...

Remove subjective language and provide objective evidence to support claims.

Cherry-picking data

The article selectively focuses on Messi's achievements and fails to mention the achievements of other players, creating a biased narrative.

The prestigious award has been dominated over the last 15 years by Messi and his old adversary Cristiano Ronaldo, who have won it 12 times between them. Only two other players have won the Ballon d’Or since Ronaldo claimed his first in 2008 – Luka Modric won it in 2018 and Karim Benzema was crowned last year following a brilliant season with Real Madrid.

Provide a more comprehensive overview of the winners of the Ballon d'Or and their achievements.

Omission of key information

The article fails to mention the achievements and performances of other players nominated for the Ballon d'Or, which creates an unbalanced representation.

Most notably, there are seven members of the Manchester City team that won the English Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League under Pep Guardiola. The obvious candidate among them is Erling Haaland, who scored 52 goals in 53 games and has already won the UEFA Player of the Year award for last season.

Include information about the achievements and performances of other players nominated for the Ballon d'Or.
