Lionel Messi will apparently win the 2023 Ballon d’Or. This emerges from a report by Spanish Sport. It would be the eighth award for the Argentine world champion.
On October 30, 2023, probably France Football’s most prestigious individual trophy will be awarded in Paris. Messi will be honored there primarily because of his achievements during the World Cup in Qatar.
If he wins, he would leave his eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo further behind – the Al-Nassr and Portugal superstar “only” has five titles to his name. Additionally, Messi would become the first player in history to win the Ballon d’Or while under contract with a non-European team.
In addition to the Argentine, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is considered the most promising candidate for the trophy. The Norwegian scored 52 goals in 52 competitive games on his way to the treble last season.
Another world champion is to be honored among women. Spain’s Aitana Bonmati, voted player of the tournament at the 2023 finals in Australia and New Zealand, will receive the Ballon d’Or féminin, according to Sport.
