How many Ballon d’Ors did Messi win?

The Argentine captain has 7 Ballon d’Ors in his individual record. He obtained the distinction in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2019 and 2021, making him the player with the most statuettes in the history of football, far surpassing the five obtained by the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, second in the ranking.

If he wins the eighth, he will be the first player to win it while being part of a club outside of Europe, since the Rosario player now plays for Inter Miami. Since 2005, Messi has been nominated for the Ballon d’Or every year, except for the last one, last year, where the award went to Frenchman Karim Benzema.

What time does the 2023 Ballon d’Or gala start?

The 2023 Ballon d’Or ceremony begins at 3 p.m. and can be seen on TV in Argentina through the transmission of the ESPN and TNT Sports signals, with the contracted football pack. In addition, the delivery is broadcast on the Flow, D GO and Telecentro Play platforms.

Another option to watch the event online is through the channel of the popular Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos, on the Twitch platform. In 2022, on that occasion Ibai broadcast the gala and spoke with the winner Benzema and figures of the stature of Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Florentino Pérez, Alexia Putellas and Thibaut Courtois, among others.

Who won the 2022 Ballon d’Or?

Frenchman Karim Benzema, from Real Madrid, won the 2022 Ballon d’Or at the event that took place at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and did not have the presence of Lionel Messi, the biggest winner in the history of the award and best player of last season, omitted from the 30 candidates for the first time since 2005.

How do you vote for the 2023 Ballon d’Or?

The award criteria changed for this latest edition. Now, “individual performances” and the “decisive and impactful character of the contenders” will take first place in importance, surpassing “collective appearance and trophies won” and “class of the player and his sense of fair play.”

Additionally, the jury was reduced from 170 voters to 100 voters, with journalists from the top 100 nations in the FIFA rankings providing their three best players of the season.

The candidates for the women’s Ballon d’Or

This Monday the women’s Ballon d’Or is also awarded, where the Spanish Aitana Bonmatí is the main favorite, following having become world champion with her country’s National Team in the Women’s World Cup in Australia-New Zealand 2023 and winning the Women’s Champions League with the Barcelona Fc.
