For several days, there had been almost no suspense, various media leaks having already spilled the beans. The ceremony this Monday evening ultimately only confirmed what everyone suspected: Leo Messi wins the 2023 Ballon d’Or, his 8th in his career.
As is often the case, the World Cup will clearly have tipped the scales. At 35 years old, La Pulga had in fact, last December, carried Argentina on his shoulders to launch They are Albiceleste towards his first World title since 1986.
The supreme consecration for Messi, who won everything at club throughout his career, but who had always experienced immense difficulty in propelling Argentina to the same level in the World Cup.
Some, and there are many, will undoubtedly say that Messi’s club season was not as successful and that this 8th Ballon d’Or is a theft. Note, despite everything, that the Argentinian was crowned champion of France with PSG and that, without appearing to touch it, he scored 16 goals and 16 assists in 32 league matches.
