Alfie Haaland scorns with displeasure as Lionel Messi is crowned FIFA's Best Men's player ahead of his Manchester City son Erling... despite Argentine's World Cup win not counting

Alfie Haaland couldn't hide his displeasure as Lionel Messi was named FIFA's Best Men's player on Monday evening ahead of his son, Erling.

The Manchester City goalscorer starred in his debut season in English football after guiding Pep Guardiola's side to the Treble last season with a 52-goal haul.

His exploits were enough to clinch City the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League - becoming only the second-ever English team to do so - but weren't evidently enough to win him FIFA's top individual honour.
