Argentine Lionel Messi, the American star of Inter Miami, abandoned his modesty and raised the “I” high in his dialogue with a famous Argentine broadcaster on the “Olga” program on YouTube, which in turn greatly embarrassed him in front of millions of followers.

Messi answered the broadcaster’s question regarding the player most deserving of the Ballon d’Or for last season, whether the Argentine star Lionel Messi or the Norwegian Erling Haaland, the Manchester City giant. Messi said: “I deserve to win the award, because I won the World Cup.” The interviewer interrupted him: “But Iniesta (his former teammate) In Barcelona and the star of the Spanish national team) he won the 2010 World Cup, but did not get the Golden Ball at that time.”

Messi justified this by saying, laughing: “Yes, I am more deserving… because I scored more goals than Iniesta in 2010.” The broadcaster replied to him: “You are absolutely right, so Haaland is more deserving of the award this year, because he scored more goals than you.”

Messi took a step back in his tone and said: “The Ballon d’Or is a great honor. I was lucky to win everything in football, such as the World Cup, the Copa America, and the Champions League, in addition to local titles, as they are more important than the Ballon d’Or.”

It is noteworthy that Messi was crowned with the Ballon d’Or 7 times (a record), and he hopes to announce that he has won the award for the eighth time at the ceremony scheduled for Monday, October 30, 2023 at 11:00 UAE time.
