The MVP award was given to Ronaldo for the 2012/13 season. Barcelona won La Liga in 2012/13 with 100 points, a 15-point gap with Real Madrid. Messi was the Pichichi with 46 goals in 28 starts, while Ronaldo had 34 goals in 33 starts. Messi had 12 assists while Ronaldo had 10. Anyone who followed the season knew that Messi was by far the better player, almost single-handedly winning Barca multiple games while their defence was clowning around with own goals and a useless offside trap.
Naturally, Messi was voted the LFP Player of the Year and the LFP Forward of the Year by all the players. However, LFP, the organization itself, felt sad for Ronaldo because of his bitching about Blatter and his supposed favouritism towards Messi. So LFP created this award out of nothing, just for that one year, provided no nominees, no justifications, no criteria and just awarded it to Ronaldo to appease his damaged ego.
It's the most pathetic pity job I've ever seen in football.
