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

Sensationalism

The article uses sensational language to create excitement and anticipation around Lionel Messi winning the Ballon d'Or.

Lionel Messi is the favourite to win the eighth Ballon d’Or of his remarkable career when this year’s ceremony to crown the planet’s best footballer takes place in Paris on Monday.

Remove the word 'remarkable' to avoid sensationalism.

Biased language

The article uses biased language to favor Lionel Messi and downplay the achievements of other nominees.

Messi is set to benefit from a recent change which means the award is now based on a player’s record over the last season, rather than over the course of the calendar year.

Use neutral language to describe the recent change in the award criteria.

Omission of key information

The article fails to mention the achievements and performances of other nominees, focusing only on Messi and Haaland.

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 nominees to provide a more balanced view.
