Ballon d’Or: Messi, Mbappé… Haaland’s reaction is known
Published on November 3, 2023 at 11:30 p.m.
This Monday, Lionel Messi won the Ballon d’Or for the eighth time in his career. A trophy which rewards his victory during the World Cup and which has caused a lot of talk. Especially because Erling Haaland, who had a titanic season in the Premier League and the Champions League, finished second in the standings. But Pep Guardiola reassures, his attacker was happy.
Lionel Messi arguably won the last Ballon d’Or of her career. Since the Messi-Ronaldo era, alone Luka Modric et Karim Benzema have managed to climb to the top of the podium, and the years to come portend many new winners. Among them, Kylian Mbappé et Erling Haaland are already favorites.
“He has his whole career ahead of him”
At a press conference this Friday, Pep Guardiola, the coach of Manchester City, recalled the evening spent at the Châtelet theater in Paris during the ceremony of Ballon d’Or, assured that his player was happy: “Of course, we were there, Man. City were there, and it’s very important for us because we haven’t been there very often in the past, we had never even been there. And now, for the first time, it was important for us to be there. He has his whole career ahead of him. He has to keep winning to have the opportunity to say: “Maybe next season I can be there, if we continue to win things with the team.” And that is what we must aim for. He was very happy to be there and he still was when he came back. »
“I saw Haaland very happy to win the Gerd Müller award and to be in the running for the Ballon d’Or”
“I would say that I saw Haaland very happy to win the Gerd Müller award and to be in the running for the Ballon d’Or alongside Messi, Mbappé and the rest of the players, assures Pep Guardiola. It was a good night for Manchester City. Congratulations to Leo Messi and Aitana Bonmatí for the awards they won. »
